Most regrettable album in your music collection?

[short bus president]

Currently, I'd hafta go with Heavy D. and the Boyz "Big Time." I dunno how it got there, but it's there, and it's regrettable. That's my story, and I'm sticking to things.

[SmileyBoy]

1. I once had a 12 Stones CD.

I really didn't know what the hell I was thinking of buying that piece of shit.
Also, I once owned Kenny G's album, "Duotones". :puke:

[short bus president]

2. Never heard of 'em.

How thankful should I be?

[SmileyBoy]

5. VERY thankful.

They're basically Creed multiplied to the power of 100. You don't want anything to do with them.

[Demonaut]

3. no, got the wrong album

[short bus president]

7. Nope.

Heavy D. in a yellow fitted sheet, and "the Boys" in white Miami Vice lookin' suits. On a staircase.

On closer inspection, I think Heavy D. may have been Sinbad...

[Wickerman]

4. The last Cure record

I don't know what it is called. I don't know what I was thinking.

[short bus president]

9. maybe you were feeling

whiny and mopey? Oooh! Or maybe it was a bet. You can always say it was a bet.

[Wickerman]

13. That's it!

I bet they sucked - I won!

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

6. :hiding head in shame:

Winger

[short bus president]

8. Stuart? Is that you?

Heh. Heh heh.

;-)

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

10. On VINYL even!

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

12. It was a GIFT!! Yeah, a gift from a well-meaning clueless friend!

[short bus president]

16. Yer gonna be SO easy to shop for!

:loveya:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

27. ACK! You KNEW that already!

But... jeebus, you know that a Winger LP is the *FARTHEST* thing from qualifying as an acceptable gift. Now, the BEE GEES are a whole 'nother story :loveya:

[short bus president]

30. LP, hell.

I'm gonna get Winger to play at our wedding reception. :P

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

33. Heh, do that and you'll be "Headed for a Heartbreak"

:D

[short bus president]

34. Easy Come, Easy Go?

That'd no doubt cause of State of Emergency.

:P

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

35. Heh...

ummm... I could SOOO get this locked.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

14. "This is Joey Buttafuoco's theme song."

- Beavis & Butthead (about Winger's "She's only 17")

[MrScorpio]

11. I mail ordered this imported and very expensive

United Future Organization CD once. It sounded absolutely nothing like any previous CD that they have ever done.

It was was total crap, and I was out of thirty bucks.

What were those guys thinking?

[short bus president]

15. Heh. That's what people said when Dylan went electric.

It's also what people said when Michael Jordan played baseball. Sometimes they're right.

[MrScorpio]

17. It was Boring

There is no excuse for boring.

[short bus president]

19. laziness!

laziness is an excuse!

[bbernardini]

18. Depends on who you're asking, but I LIKE IT: New Monkees!

[MrSlayer]

20. Necrophagia's "Season of the Dead"

Long before .mp3 you sort of had to guess at what might be good and I was fooled by this cool album cover. The album is horrible but I still have it.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

21. Because I liked Fantasia, my daughter bought me her 1st. CD...

Just Horrible.

[short bus president]

45. Never heard of it

'cept the Micky Mouse movie...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

49. Last year's American Idol winner

[short bus president]

51. That would explain it.

I'm completely Idol Ignorant. 'cept I'm apparently from "Clay Aiken country." :shrug:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

61. The first three episodes of the show are the best

When they weed out the funniest characters. The rest is your run of the mill talent show.

[Fenris]

22. Morcheeba's "Fragments of Freedom"

Unlike their other releases, this record sounds like horrible disco music to me.

[sundog]

42. Big Calm was a great album

[Fenris]

47. Yes it was.

That's the reason I bought "Fragments of Freedom."

[short bus president]

44. Never heard their music, but I'm cuious...

How do you distinguish good disco from bad disco? Is it a Donna Summer v. Ethel Merman kinda thing?

[Lady Effingbroke]

23. Upon quick perusal of my vast (and varied) music collection, I found this:

I actually have this album.

[short bus president]

26. Might I recommend...

different sounds, same genre.

[progressoid]

32. PK & the Sound Explosion!?!

Wow, does it sound like, umm, an explosion of sound?

[Lady Effingbroke]

40. That's a charitable way of describing it!

:D

[youthere]

24. ABBA-ABBA's greatest hits.

[short bus president]

29. Really?

I consider that one an essential. :shrug:

[sundog]

43. if you bought abba, you get abba

what's to regret? :P

[BiggJawn]

54. Man, that's an ESSENTIAL!

That's commuting music!

[AntiCoup2K4]

25. Chicago 19

Any Chicago album after Terry Kath died was musically questionable. The ones after Cetera also left were lacking any validity whatsoever, even as top 40 pop material.

Fortunately it was a remnant of a relationship with more bad memories than good ones, so once I dug the piece of crap out of a closet, it wasn't difficult at all to part with it.

[progressoid]

28. STYX

I don't remember what it was called (had a flaming ice cube on the cover). Thankfully, I "accidentally" threw it away.

Aaaargh. Now I have that goddam Loreli song in my head! Shoot me now!

[6000eliot]

31. Back in the '70s

I used to hide my Carpenters "The Singles" record, but I'm no longer ashamed of them. I think Karen Carpenter had a great voice and the songs are very well arranged.

[seemunkee]

36. Tales from the Great Book

The story of Abraham as told by Ronald Reagan

[short bus president]

38. HA!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

:toast:

[Evergreen Emerald]

37. And speaking of shame:

Milli Vanilli. Ohmygod I can't believe I admitted that in public.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

39. Hee...

I saw them live... oh wait...

[iconoclastic cat]

41. My own.

[short bus president]

46. we're talking ALBUMS here

are you sure you weren't looking for the "home movies" thread? ;-)

[iconoclastic cat]

48. :

[short bus president]

50. You got good reviews on Amazon...

I only listened to the one clip from the track that dude in the second review mentioned, and it reminded me a lot of Beck's Stereopathetic Soulmanure, which is in my collection and NOT on the regrettable list. 'cept for that one song... taser gun. Earouch.

[iconoclastic cat]

53. heh

Beck is in a class by himself.

[short bus president]

55. Thank fucking gawd jeebus lawd moicy abovus

you didn't say he "transcends genre." I'd have had to slap ya. ;-)

[Strawman]

56. Hmm is it Roger Clinton "Nothing Good Comes Easy"or the Mr. T album?

Actually I regret neither. I'm into novelty stuff like that.

Biggest disappointment in my collection is Lou Reed's "Raven" double disc.

Sorry I posted this in the wrong place.

Most of the real stinkers I lost or sold for beer money in college. Billy Idol Cypberpunk comes to mind.

[NinetySix]

52. Every REM album after Automatic. I used to love 'em. *Sucker*

[donheld]

57. I don't regret any CD in my collection of almost 1100

i even have Milli Vanilli's faux pax

[mark414]

58. what? that heavy d album is great

to each their own i guess...

[Burma Jones]

59. Billy Joel's Greatest Hits.........

[On the Road]

60. Peter Kaukonnen, "Black Kangaroo"

Brother of Jorma (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna).

God, is that an awful tape! Absolutely discordant and repellent. "Dynamo Snackbar" is possibly the worst recording I have ever heard.
