CONFESS!!! What CD would I be SHOCKED to find in your collection?

[LynneSin]

(or vinyl or cassette or 8-track)

I would probably have to say the oddest one in my current collection would be a tie between the following:

Bay City Roller's Greatest Hits
And the bizarre concept that I actually have THREE KC & the Sunshine Band CDs (I mean one isn't that unexpected but THREE? What the hell could I find that I need three different KCATSB CDs for??!!)

[flvegan]

1. I still have all my CDs from the '80's, so I have

Many CDs from the likes of...

Poison (yes!)
Great White
Def Leppard
Slaughter (pronounced "slaff-ter" in my house)
Warrant
White Lion
and, yes...

Stryper

Kill me.

[LynneSin]

2. I have a Poison CD too but that's because I forgot to return the card

and trust me, even if it's the worst CD that I can't believe I bought I still keep the thing (which means yes, I still have Vanilla Ice's first album on cassette)

[flvegan]

4. That's okay, I think I still have an MC Hammer CD.

I need a good CD purge, seems like.

[Zomby Woof]

3. "The Robert Plant Secret Manilow Sessions"

:o Shocked, I say.

[LynneSin]

5. I have 'Celine Dion sings the best of Frank Zappa'

:P

[Zomby Woof]

6. I would actually BUY THAT

How sad is that??? :D

I want to hear her warble "Keep it greasy, so it will go down easy..." :D

[LynneSin]

8. BTW, you're officially sick!!

I won't buy anything that is a Led Zeppelin remake (not that there are many out there). I'm too much of a purist. I don't want to hear someone like Justin Timberlake or Scott Stapp crooning about "You can squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my legs"

:puke:

Edit note, I do have one CD with a LZ cover and that's Nirvana's "Sliver" which has heartbreaker on it. But the CD is a recording of home demos put together in attempt to still make money off Nirvana even though Kurt Cobain has been gone for 10 years. However, I love Nirvana and the CD is quite amusing to listen to!

[Zomby Woof]

23. I was yankin' yer chain

Trying to push the envelope, as it were.

Let's face it... Zappa's brilliance and Dion's artlessness will never meet anywhere but in the twisted imagination of this thread. :-)

To clarify: I was KIDDING. I look for any excuse to post a Zappa lyric. :P

[LynneSin]

45. I know sweetie!

:D

[Richard Steele]

7. I have Kraftwerks 'Autobahn' album on 8-track.

Oddly enough, I have a friend who has a 'project'
sitting in his garage: A 1970s BMW motorcycle
with a FACTORY-INSTALLED 8-track player.

I told him that the tape is his, the moment he gets that bike back on the road.

[Left Is Write]

9. Barry Manilow, the Everly Brothers, Linda Ronstadt.

[CatholicEdHead]

10. Pat Boone "In a Metal Mood"

[tuvor]

11. Fabio's After Dark

(No, I did NOT pay for this.)

[mvd]

12. I guess..

System Of A Down's Steal This Album!
Britney Spears CDs (only one of which I still listen to - In The Zone)
Eminem's The Eminem Show

[ghostsofgiants]

13. David Bowie's "Heathen" kinda stands out amongst the rest of my stuff.

Though you probably wouldn't be shocked by its presence.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Not a single one! But in terms of vinyl, I have do have Dolly Parton's

album with that big hit of hers. Not "9 to 5", but the other one.

[El Fuego]

15. Tom Jones' greatest hits

People at my office were genuinely shocked that I owned this CD.

[DawgHouse]

17. Hey, I have that one too!

Oh yeah, I get the same reaction at work. What a buncha losers! :)

[LeftyMom]

16. The Backyardigans

[miss_american_pie]

19. I'll confess to that one

:hide:

[LynneSin]

30. One assumes you have kids so that doesn't count

:P

[LeftyMom]

32. Probably some godawful hair metal thing on vinyl then

Cinderella or Bon Jovi or some godawful thing like that.

[DanCa]

18. Barry Manillow 2 nights live (nt)

[Missy Vixen]

20. DH's 80's CD collection

features such deathless talent as Paula Abdul and Pebbles. I'm thinking those CD's might mysteriously vanish into the garage during one of his upcoming business trips since I know for a fact he hasn't listened to them in the past 13 years. :woohoo:

My CD collection? We have several hundred CD's between us, but the one that would make some of the music aficionados here run screaming with their hair on fire: John Tesh's Christmas CD. I also have Hildegard Von Bingen, an abbess at the turn of the last millennium. Her works are sung by a group called Anonymous 4. Very ethereal; very much an acquired taste.

Julie
Hildegard Von Bingen lived in the year 1000, not the year 1900... :blush:

[cynatnite]

21. The Osmonds n/t

[Initech]

22. Out of my collection, probably The Essential Bruce Springsteen

Which is pretty funny because for one thing I dont own a lot of "greatest hits" collections and two, obscure heavy metal bands compromise about 85% of my collection.

[Dinger]

24. Patrick Hernandez, "Born To Be Alive," an LP, And A Fave Of Mine

Hey, I like "Saturday Night." Fun song.

[GalleryGod]

25. Appeared on Howard Cosell's "Saturday Night Live ! " Variety Show

in September,1975.:wtf:

[Dinger]

29. Hernandez Did??

Cool.

[GalleryGod]

33. No..The Bay City Rollers! Doing "Saturday Night"

Sorry........:blush:

[Dinger]

34. Oh

That's cool too:)

[lizziegrace]

26. Alice Cooper

Muscle of Love

Okay, it's not mine. It ended up in my pile of LP's when my ex and I were dividing stuff...

[sarge43]

27. The Raspberries Greatest Hit(s) n/t

[driver8]

37. What's wrong with that?? Eric Carmen is the lead singer, isn't

he? I always liked the Raspberries.

[datasuspect]

28. doodletown pipers

"sing along '67"

[Gold Metal Flake]

31. Jeff Christie Sings Torch Songs Just For You.

On the Closet-Town Nazi label.

[havocmom]

35. Possibly the T.O.F.O.G. cd

Now, among the old vinyl LPs, my soundtrack album of the original Muppet Movie sometimes raises eyebrows...

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

36. The BTO Gold compilation.

[driver8]

40. Now I would be proud to own that one!! I loved BTO when I

was a kid.

[DanCa]

38. The Patridge Families greatest hits

Not a cd but the 8 track.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

39. The soundtrack to Disney's "Pocahontas"

My lovely wife found it in my CD collection and used it for bumper music in the show tonight. Hell, *I* was shocked, let alone you, LynneSin! Ack!

[Beware the Beast Man]

41. Somehow I'm not shocked at all by your choices.

You subscribed to 16 and tiger Beat, didn't ya? :)

[u4ic]

42. Fonzie's Favourites

:blush:

my first album ever.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

44. Fo reelzee?

What are his favs?

[u4ic]

47. HIS favourite I'm sure

was the Fonzarelli Slide, whereby he teaches you how to say "aaaaaaaaaaaaaay" and "sit on it". :rofl:

I can't even remember all the tunes on it: Splish Splash, You Talk Too Much, Rock Around the Clock (a given)...it's packed away somewhere; I don't listen too often...;-)

Here's a pic of the album cover: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4821344304&category=306#ebayphotohosting

[elshiva]

[One_Life_To_Give]

46. Bush, right next to Hoover n/t

[Burma Jones]

48. Father Abraham Meets the Smurfs

[HEyHEY]

49. Colour me bad

[alarimer]

50. Zamfir, master of the pan-flute

I'm kidding. I have good taste in music. According to me anyway.

[RevCheesehead]

51. John Tesch Christmas Worship.

The Best of Journey.
Soundtrack to "That Thing You Do"

[hfojvt]

53. the best of Journey? That's so lame.

I have Time - the three CD set, but I am thinking Lynn is not surprised

[RevCheesehead]

54. It was in a bin for $3.99

There are a few (very few) memories associated with some of their songs.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

52. I have a BBC recording of someone...

reciting Oliver Goldsmith's "The Deserted Village."

"SWEET AUBURN! loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheer'd the labouring swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer's lingering blooms delay'd:
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,
How often have I loiter'd o'er thy green,
Where humble happiness endear'd each scene;
How often have I paus'd on every charm,
The shelter'd cot, the cultivated farm,
The never-failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that topp'd the neighbouring hill,
The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade"

Swear to God, if you're ever having a party that's getting out of hand, put this bad boy on the turntable and the place will be cleared out in minutes.

Far as I know, it's not available on CD.

[XemaSab]

55. Ace of Base

oh yes, oh yes....
