Admitting a problem is the first step toward recovery.

I was inspired by Riss to make a list of the worst songs I have on my hard drive.

13 Songs I Am Ashamed to Admit That I Once Liked
(and might still like...gag)

1) Bye Bye Bye by 'nSync

• Catchy shit. I can't believe I once sucked bad enough to download it, however.

2) Candy Shop by 50 Cent

• I like this song, but I would never be caught dead playing it with anyone else in my car. Chubby white girls are not allowed to rock out to "Candy Shop" in public.
  

3) Never Ever by All Saints

• Fucking cookie cutter girl bands. Fun to sing along with, however.
  

4) Blame it on the Weatherman by B*Witched

• This one was on the "Charmed" soundtrack, so that's my justification for this one.

5) Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion

• In my defense, it was my wedding song. Shut up.
  

6) Foolish Beat by Debbie Gibson

• Fond memories of cutting holes in my jeans and attempting to draw smiley faces on my knees with magic marker. More fond memories of my mom kicking my ass for said activity.
  

7) He Loves U Not by Dream

• Guilty pleasure. No excuse.
  

8) Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne

• I dream of being a milf one day. Not one that actually fucks children, but a milf nonetheless.
  

9) Put Your Ass Into It by Ice Cube

• Another fun song that chubby white girls are not allowed to like.
  

10) I'm Sensitive by Jewel

• Fucking horrible, whiny fag song. Die.
  

11) Candy by Mandy Moore

• I'm missin' you like caaaaannnndaaaayayayayayaaaaaaaaa...just sing it, admit you like it, and shut the fuck up. I know I'm not alone in this one.
  

12) Hanging Tough and The Right Stuff by New Kids on the Block

• These were NOT my fault, Ghengis burned me a bunch of mp3's and snuck these on the disc. I loaded it without even knowing. Fucker.

13) Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden

• I thought a chick sang this song for the longest time. Ugh.
  

I know, I know...it's awful. You don't even want to know me anymore now that you've seen 'nSync in my music catalog. In an attempt to salvage my now-damaged image with my loyal readers, I give you...

My taste doesn't suck, but I have clearly had a few weak, pop-infected moments. I don't delete any of my music because it's almost like a history; good, bad and sometimes ugly. Besides, it's fun to look back and admit that you used to rock out to Mandy Moore with the windows rolled up and nobody else around.
