I just visited the (dramatic pause) **Lisa Marie Presley** website, knowing full well I should actively hate everything I was about to hear… and I didn’t. I fear if I listen to one of those songs one more time, I’ll be singing along with it. _hides in shame_ ---

Reading [here](http://accesshollywood.msn.com/music/0110_mobyeminem.asp) I see that Eminem has been doing almost all the pot-shooting. ---

Good lord, half the music I like I do so against my will. Linkin Park? Check. Justin Timberlake? Check. Disturbed? Check. Papa Roach? Check. Adema? Check. Pacifier, Saliva, Mudvayne? Check, check and check. I could go on, but you get the picture… I like Tool but not against my will. ---

Years ago I came to enjoy “The Sign” by Ace of Base. I’m sure if I thought hard enough I could come up with a few others, but thats the first one that popped into my head when I read the title of the OP ---

What a relief…I am not alone…I was so ashamed to have liked the last three Justin Timberlake singles (all from his new album), especially the last one he released. Pretty funky stuff, I must say he is the talent behind the N’Sync band! Anyhoo, glad to not be alone in this, well, obviously not alone as he has sold a couple of million copies, right? Margo ---

I’d normally say I either like something or I don’t. But, _Eminem_. The man’s an asshole but the music’s just too good to dismiss. ---

rage against the machine (a couple songs) and just about all punk rock music on my local rock station ([www.wkzq.net](http://www.wkzq.net)), such as finch - what it is to burn a.f.i. - girl’s not grey good charlotte - anthem and others i can’t remember it’s mainly because i’m addicted to radio and it’s our only rock station. so i can’t channel surf. have you ever hated a song and then heard it so many times you started liking (or at least tolerating) it? ---

But her other stuff I am constantly singing along with. Don’t care much for Eminem either - but he’s growing on me. ---

Freaking Linkin Park. Damn them. I made fun of them @ Ozzfest when I went years ago. Now I find myself singing their songs. ---

Whenever I see anything about this, Moby doesn’t appear to be participating. \*\* He’s even posted a picture of a couple of drawings of Eminem choking Moby at his website (I think they were drawn by one of Eminem’s bodyguards): [http://www.moby.com/DailyPhotos/eminem\_drawing.jpg](http://www.moby.com/DailyPhotos/eminem_drawing.jpg) I think he’s more baffled about the “feud” than anything else. ---

Ahem. What’s wrong with liking Girl’s Not Grey? I happen to be a certified AFI fangirl, thanks very much. I have the fan club membership to prove it. Moving on, Eminem makes me slightly guilty too, but so many people like him as well–I feel in good company. 🆒 And, uh, I hate Avril with a passion, but I have to admit her songs are catchy. :o Even if her lyrics make me physically nauseated. ---

Linkin park, I find the lyrics cute. Also, the crazy Middle Eastern version of Holly Valance’s “Kiss Kiss” that was shown on Michael Palin’s ‘Saraha’. Very catchy. Also in my MP3 Pit Of Shame: - SClub (7): My sister’s fault - Steps : Likewise - Boney M/Abba: Curse my parents for playing this when I was little! ---

Yep. I’ve got satellite radio, though, so I’m not sure if the band’s getting played everywhere. ---
