Everyone looks at their iPod and feel proud that they have a bit of classical, bit of country, bit of metal, bit of folk, bit of indie .... SNORE

I, however, definitely DO have eclectic taste in music.

I listen to Coldplay AND to U2.
I listen to Duran Duran AND to Spandau Ballet.
I listen to Robbie Williams AND to George Michael.
I listen to Madonna AND to Lady GaGa.

Not only that, but I've got a Best of Johnny Cash and also an Eminem album.

None of you have my range.

Anyone willing to admit they DON'T have eclectic tastes in music?

Sorry but your music doesn't sound very eclectic to me at all

bruxeur · 18/12/2011 08:28

Oh lol. Bless.

JingleBelleDameSansMerci · 18/12/2011 08:29

What about a bit of Barry Manilow and The Clash?

talkingnonsense · 18/12/2011 08:29

Essential, I think that was the point!
My name is nonsense and I am not eclectic!
I like to sing along, I like novelty records and I love glee. My iPod has loads of crap from dh and the dc, and I spend half my time fast forwarding it.

JingleBelleDameSansMerci · 18/12/2011 08:30

Eminem?

FaverollesWithBoughsOfHolly · 18/12/2011 08:31

ProfYaffle · 18/12/2011 08:35

I have a stultifyingly narrow taste in music. It's early 90's indie or nowt as far as I'm concerned, though I do tolerate a bit of Florence and the Machine.

Chas and Dave, the wurzels and rage against the machine, I also have Mozart and tchaikovsky thrown in for good measure! I am the epitome of eclectic Grin

KittyFane · 18/12/2011 08:49

I think OP has tongue in cheek with her list of eclectic music!

Vinyl bores are the ones I can't cope with.

LiesDamnLiesandStatistics · 18/12/2011 08:51

I see all your albums ( in my ipod) and raise you prince, Ben E King, Glee cast, Macy Grey, Elvis Costello and Mcfly

ViviPrudolf · 18/12/2011 09:01

I can't work out from the tone of the OP if she's having a little joke about her taste being 'eclectic' or if she genuinely thinks it is Confused . If it is the former, FYI that is not eclectic.

My iTunes reveals a very non-eclectic taste. The artists and music I love span 4 decades but are all interlinked and influence each other. Metronomy influenced by Steve Wonder. LCD Soundsystem influenced by Talking Heads. OK Go influenced by Prince. Feist influenced by Fleetwood Mac. Katy B influenced by 90s Garage. Vampire Weekend influenced by Paul Simon. Friendly Fires influenced by all of the above.

Im so cool.

ViviPrudolf · 18/12/2011 09:02

Latter even. I'm so not cool.

KittyFane · 18/12/2011 09:04

I think she's joking!

I listen to Coldplay AND to U2.
I listen to Duran Duran AND to Spandau Ballet.
I listen to Robbie Williams AND to George Michael.
I listen to Madonna AND to Lady GaGa.

All mainstream pop.

ViviPrudolf · 18/12/2011 09:06

Yes she is. You're right.

EricNordmanfirandMistletoe · 18/12/2011 09:07

I think the Op is avin a larf.
The only people who don't have eclectic tastes are teenagers who think that you are only allowed to be 'into' what is cool in your circle cos anything else means social death.

pigletmania · 18/12/2011 09:07

No you don't sound like you have eclectic tastes at all. My favourite music includes: Drifters, Lady Gaga, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Helms, Amy Whinehouse, Eminem, Smiley Lewis, Abba, Rock, Classical chorale music, GLen Miller.

EricNordmanfirandMistletoe · 18/12/2011 09:08

And I think belfastbloke is a bloke too
