Hello without looking to cause a riot or begin a hate thread on myself I'm looking for some insight and help.

Does anyone ever have that one song or album that means so much to them from a time when they felt so lost and alone?

No matter the opinion of others you love the lyrics and melody.

This is the issue I have, when I was younger and feeling low I used to always turn to my lost prophets Cd for to lift me up even met the band in 2004 in London.

My problem is with the lead singer being a convicted paedophile which I can never condone in the slightest, is it sacralidge to still want to listen to the tracks they made from my past? I know the other band members weren't at fault but he was the one who wrote most of the material and it all feels just a little tainted now..

Does it make me bad for needing to still hear the material?

Mines Eminem, the Eminem show really and Encore.

He's a misogynic pig but at the time it really got me through listening to his songs.

Now I just can't because violence against women and rape glamorisation lyrics.

As for still listening to those songs, you do you, if you can and don't get the creeps then fine - if not then don't. Just don't give them any more of your money.

Last summer and last train home always got me but now the words all sound different to like they used to sound lol

Eminem I hear ya on him I guess it's a psychological thing at the time you just click then when you look back you think how? There'll be no money spent on them that's for sure
