Shameful Music

[AngelaG]

Ok, why not unburden yourself and admit to some of the albums you have in your music collection that you know just shouldn't be there.

I'll start - somewhere in the debths of my large CD collection I own....

an Ultimate Kaos album!!!

The shame, the shame!

Hmm I've obviously not been trying hard enough. I don't have any albums I'm ashamed of. I've bought a few albums I'm not keen on and never made it all the way through the album.

Bob Mould
Jetplane Landing.
Queens of the Stoneage

I took back a Violent Femmes album once, saying "I don't like it". I like it when people take back albums, they always say they bought it as a present for a friend but it turns out they've already got it.

Oh, I've got a Linkin Park album. A friend said to me "you have to get an album by Linkin' Park, you just have to". So I went out and bought it.
Ah, but it raises a big smile and maybe even a fun singalong whenever I hear them so I have no hard feelings.

I must admit that my wife has a New Kids on the Block album, but I still love her all the same.

Myself on the other hand, I don't have anything in my music collection that shouldn't be there.....honest!

I'll fess up.
I love music and own many CDs (my house is an additional branch of HMV ), but I have bought a few dodgy albums in my time.
Take That (cringe) - I still own it too! (double cringe)
Steps
Linkin Park
Good Charlotte
Elton John (what was I thinking??)

I've also bought a few albums on the strength of one good song and been disappointed with the rest of it. These include:
Coal Chamber
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Hell Is For Heroes
Evanescence

Ah yes, I do have an Elton John CD (Love songs)... the sad thing is I still actually like the songs on there. I also have a Phil Collins CD and an Elkie Brooks CD.... Oh yeah and a Barbara Streisand CD (Guilty - how apt). I have a rather extensive collection of mixed 80s CDs - but to be fair that is my era. I own all of Peter Gabriel's CDs, including from his Genesis days. Heck my music collection is a hodpodge of styles, eras and lots of music I theoretically "shouldn't" like.

Get me!

Hey, I have a lot of 80's CDs too (my era as well!) but that's not sad, that's just quality music. ;D

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club just instantly seemed like a quite bland Jesus & Mary Chain ripoff when I heard them. Jesus & Mary Chain were ace. I was never moved to buy anything by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club though.

Hell is for Heroes are quite likeable I think. Their album is just simple good fun energetic but throwaway rock music. However they got dropped by their record label so perhaps you're right and I'm wrong.

I have a mix tape from the 80's. It's incredible. I think it might even be called "Mix Hits", but maybe not. What's incredible is that it's non-stop music, until you have to turn the tape over. It's got songs like "19" and "Ghostbusters" but all spliced together in a kind of never ending Jive Bunny style mix. I'll fight to protect that tape til the very end so don't any of you get any ideas.

I have, believe it or not, a Patridge Family CD. An interesting story goes along with it.

When I was a young one my mother asked my older sister what I might like as a birthday gift. My older sister being shrewd and knowing her own birthday was several months away swore to my mother that I wanted a Partridge Family Album. (I think it was the first one which was released just after the series started, yes I am that old) So my loving mother proudly presented me with the album on my 6th birthday. My sister was so excited she couldn't wait to show me how to use the record player. I really wanted rockem sockem robots.

Anyway a few years ago my sister bought me the CD as a sort of gag gift for my 35th birthday. I will never part with it.
