What artist do you like that you are (almost) embarrassed to admit?

Was running through my record shelf the other night. Have a couple of Andy Gibb albums which I played a lot in college, and, the Stylistics, Greatest Hits Volumes 1 and 2.

OK I said it, Lady Gaga especially when performing with Tony Bennett
I've seen Madonna many times in concert.

Big +1 on this and thank you for the reminder. When I heard Lady Gaga's work with Tony Bennett I was amazed
at the quality of her voice and what she had to offer that never comes through on her pop work, just wish she
would record more of this type of work!
+2 Yep, they do sound great together.
As for me, there is a MTV Unplugged Katy Perry performance out there which is surprisingly good - and so I'll have to admit to liking some Katy Perry... as embarrassing as that sounds.
She has amazing pipes. I really love the songs "Bound To You" and "Beautiful". Too often she tries to impress everyone with her amazing vocal chops at the expense of the song. When she doesn't do that, she can be highly enjoyable to listen to.

Thanks Ian! Any luck deciding on a preamp? I haven't been following the threads lately.
Best,
Ken
Currently vying for my affections are the dartzeel NHS-18 (series 1) and the Conrad Johnson GAT (series 2). Both are great preamps. The GAT has some issues for me but I'm awaiting an SRA platform's arrival before I make any conclusions.
Hi Ian,
Wow, two top of the line preamps you have there. I can’t imagine going wrong either way with your choice. Best of luck and let me know how it turns out.

Interesting Mr. General.
I feel totally differently, one heck of a great classical music composers of all existence.
Some of his symphonies can transport me inside an infinity of bright stars of the universe and even exploring few black holes to exit on the other side of music ecstasy, like a brand new universe's particle.

That's me though; so I was quite surprised by your mentioning of Mozart as an admission of music embarrassment. So far away to me from being embarrassed.
* I cannot name a single artist musician/singer/composer who I like and that I am almost embarrassed to admit, none. And I thought long and hard.
Hi MadFloyd,
FWIW, while I absolutely respect whatever decision you make...I will say that every single owner of the CJ GAT I know has found significant benefit in isolation of the GAT. SRAs are highly recommended, and in my case HRS M3X underneath with HRS nimbus couplers and then 3 large HRS DPX damping plates on top, and even the EAT tube dampers.
In my own system, there was a solidity and firmness of note that 'held' notes completely which did not quite happen, particularly around complex passages without isolation. The bass firmed up, particularly upper bass. There was a sense of 'resolve' and solidity of its presentation with isolation which seemed a bit 'weaker in signal' and also a bit less sure-footed.
Hope that helps and do post when you've got it in.
Dug up another one, I was a fan in the 80s as they toured the city and my siblings wanted to watch their concert and I obliged. Air Supply, guys from down under. I thought they were a 'rock group' in those days.
I never thought Air Supply was a rock group, but my father worked for Arista when the group became popular, and I saw them in concert a couple of times. A couple of the songs had very pretty lyrics.
