Secret music that you would listen and told no one

Anybody who claimed to be a new waver did you happen to secretly listen to another type of music but did not tell anyone about it? I absolutely loved the music of Tin Tin, Blancmage, Yaz, Psych Furs, etc but I would secretly listen to Def Leppard, and Quiet Riot. Nobody knew jeez, what was I thinking!

When I was in 8th grade "Foolin'" was my favorite song. Yikes! Actually I still keep it on if I hear it on the radio. I also was ashamed to admit I liked Fleetwood Mac.

I listened to other stuff when I was a punk in the late 70's, but I never lied about listening or liking it.
I was a big funk fan and loved Parliament and Rick James, the Brothers Johnson, Zapp etc.
I also loved Rush, Van Halen and a number of other "un
