The closest I can come to it was--and maybe here I sneak into undercover-m territory--with Stryper. Around age 11, I read about this Christian metal band in some magazine or other, and soon after saw the video for their hit power ballad, "Honestly." I guess I was still interested in trying to please or gain approval from my (very, very) religious parents or something, so I bought a couple of their albums. Jesus, they were terrible. But hey, I was young and dumb.
Stryper, "Honestly"

Oh, man. I literally said "Oh, no" out loud when I heard those opening piano notes/chords.
This sounds like a theme song to a taligate wedding.

Still not ashamed. Not proud, mind you! But not ashamed. (But seriously,
To Hell With the Devil
and
In God We Trust
are utter dogshit. Slippery dogshit.)

Why would you be ashamed of this beautiful masterpiece of a song?
But yeah, that intro sounds like the background music of any PBS documentary from the '90s. lol..

I still remember when I was a kid, watching Nickelodeon every day, and one day on one of the shows they had New Kids on the Block on, I thought they were really cool at the time, and I'm not gay.
This may be the actual performance, not sure

Still not ashamed, but it doesn't really count because I was never a big fan. It's amazing how they were so untalented live, though good god...

I've always heard the jokes but never heard their music, after listening to that clip I might have to go buy their album, "To Hell with the Devil" LOL Sounds great in every imaginable way. ..

There was a time and a place where undercover-m used to enjoy Owl City, for similar reasons as stated before...
I was like, a 13-year-old girl at the time, but still... I think I won the thread.

Ugh... John Mayer. I had a friend who really liked him, so I for some reason fell for it too. I even bought tickets and drove 5 hours to see him.
Waste of money.

Brian introduced The Little Girl I Once Knew by saying that the first two notes sounded "Chinese," but not to worry because the rest of the song was "American."

He's from near here, a small city less than an hour from Minneapolis. I'm sure we could introduce you. 😉

One thing I'll say about Stryper is that they're very good musicians.
I think their singer was (and might still be) the lead singer for Boston after Brad Delp passed.
For the 2012 M3 Festival (an annual festival of bands from the hair band era), most of the musicians from Stryper were joined by Vinny and Carmine Appice to do a tribute to Ronnie James Dio, and it was amazing.
But yeah, their 80s material is pretty bad.

It's an interesting question because some of us (myself, Judd, undercover-m) are probably in the age range the question is asking about. I can't imagine I'll be ashamed in the future of anything I'm listening to in the present, but I guess that's the point. None of us really know, and that's what makes the question entertaining. I'll come back in twenty years and let you all know. As for stuff I actually listened to when I was younger, I remember watching a particular Backstreet Boys VHS tape constantly. I'm definitely not ashamed of it, though I think that's the sort of thing the question would normally be looking for. There is one band, though, that is particularly heinous and that I've never told anyone about.
I'm still not ready to talk about it.
I, too, was a Backstreet Boys fanatic when I was a wee lad. That and Hanson.
Look how I've grown, ma. It's funny looking back on all the boy-bands and sh*t from the 90's and realizing how they were a synthetic-cheese knockoff of vocal groups like The Beach Boys. And then thinking of how The Beach Boys' mid-late 80's output quite possibly invented said synthetic-cheese for future generations. (don't crucify me)

Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down came out when I was 19. The climate of hard rock was very very poor back then, so I really got into the song. It got overplayed to the point where I couldn't stand it by the end of the summer of 2000, and 3DD only got more mediocre from there.
So, I almost got into them. Luckily, the overplaying of the song saved me from having their debut in my collection.

My best friend way back when had this album; that cover embodied all that he thought was cool in music and life. All I can do is laugh when I see that now.

Gino's cool. Didn't Robert Palmer do the same kind of record covers? It was of it's times. I lost interest in his music after the big hit "Black Cars" in 1985, but from 1973 through 1978 he made a string of great albums with his brother Joe on keys and synths. I still listen to them some times.
Storm at Sunup
was his best album, regardless of what the cover was trying to say. His target audience was women. I was living in Baton Rouge when it came out, very popular in the clubs there, and New Orleans.
I saw this thread yesterday, and still can't think of anything I'm ashamed to say I liked.

Well, I'm just going to throw this out there now, also I don't know where else to put this, plus hopefully none of you will make fun of me...
I went through a hardcore Jonas Brothers obsession in like 6th grade. I still have all of their songs on my iPod. I can tell you that their lyrics are more diverse than One Direction's. #noshame

Were you a fan of the Naked Brothers Band, too?
Or am I the only person that remembers they were a thing?

^ I remember them, but I never really listened to them or anything. But they were definitely a thing for a while.
I think JB was the only boy band phase I really went through...

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm "ashamed", but I liked the Cutting Crew album Broadcast in '86 and Play Deep by The Outfield in '85.
Oh, and also really liked the Naked Eyes album from '83 - synth pop guilty pleasure.
