HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD ON! FOR ONE MORE DAY!
Wow. Still the funniest thing ever.
I own a lot of stuff now I'd have been DEAD before owning in high school.
'Safe'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD ON! FOR ONE MORE DAY!

Yeah, my love of bandom always seems a little squirmy when my twelve-year-old doesn't even like Fall Out Boy. He adores My Chem, though!

Every time I see it, I end up laughing until I cry. Oooh! I should DL that to my itouch so I can watch it whenever I need a laugh.
I do wonder whether the soundtrack to Grease would hold up. Not so much the big production numbers, but some of the songs that played in the background while the plot was going on -- songs like "Those Magic Changes" and "It's Raining on Prom Night."
I recently put the CD on my iPod, and think the answer generally is no, they don't.
My big musical skeletons in the closet are lots and lots of fusion, art rock, and (to a lesser extent) Tangerine Dream/Jean-Michel Jarre type synthesized space rock. Some of the art rock still sounds good (I'm a huge King Crimson fan to this day), but I haven't dared the fusion in a long, long time. The last time I tried any Yes or Emerson, Lake & Palmer, I couldn't believe I had ever been into the stuff (the latter more than the former).
Of course, I was also listening to lots of new wave and punk at the same time. One thing that hasn't changed is that my tastes are very wide, and the obsessive completist in me keeps them pretty deep too. The downside is a lot of vinyl that will never be worth trying to sell (e.g. ELP, Jean-Luc Ponty, etc.).
I'm still ashamed I bought the Wilson Phillips album.
Ahaha! I had that one, too, though I disposed of it years ago. My brother will deny it now, but we totally co-owned Richard Marx - the one with "Right Here Waiting" on it.
I don't exactly have tommyrot's phenomenon going on, but there's some of my middle school music I'd rather listen than HS/college. For example, I'd rather listen to NKOTB than Pearl Jam. Unless you're talking early PJ compared to late NKOTB, then it's a tossup.

How'd you like Dean's prog rock Roger Dean inspired freakout in the last Venture Brothers?

I still love catching "I've Seen All Good People" and "Roundabout" on the radio.
I've Seen All Good People by Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet.
The closest thing I have to a decry musical shame is my deep love of Neal Diamond.
