the worst album you own?

[Lisarocket]

I'm quite lucky that way, when I split with my ex, I left her almost all the CDs except a choice few.

All that hair metal terror... gone.

No Stryper, but damn, there was some dodgy rubbish in there from when I was young.

I'll admit to my dodgy rubbish...because i probably like it But Stryper is a bridge too far

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

I think Stavros would possibly be the man to to reassure me that most of my naff '80s pop albums were worthwhile in some way.

I used to think that 'Chrome' by Oakey/Moroder was pretty bad, but in retrospect it's only eight tracks long, and one of them is the seismic pop gem 'Together In Electric Dreams'. I gave my two Five Star o ) albums away, so they don't count. 'Bullet From A Gun' by Derek B is a seminal classic - FACT - and teetering on the tip of rediscovery courtesy of the box-set brigade, so it ain't that.

The solo Mike Rutherford album was pretty shitty, and I seem to be the proud owner of an Amazulu album...

There are a number of contenders, but I reckon that 'Men Only', a cassette-only compilation of hit singles from 1986, covered by a bunch of session musicians, has to be the sonic cowpat to shade it.

 

[jonny favorite]

These are ones that I bought on other peoples reccomendations that I was disappointed in and despite giving them my best patience consequently gave them to the second hand shop

The Webb Brothers- Maroon
Boards of canada - muisc has the right to children
Kyuss -Sky Valley

 

[Dubversion]

Not sure if I agree with this statement. I think Achtung Baby was a great album. I'd put it up there in the top 3 U2 albums.

ah, in the same book of charts that includes "My Top Ten Tumours" and "20 Things To Make You Bite Chunks Out Of Your Own Leg".

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

the first Neneh Cherry album on record

You mean raw like sushi? That's a great album, well the first side is anyway (second side is bollocks). I swapped mine for the telescopes first album back in the 80s because I was embarrassed by it but later bought it back again when I realised if I liked music I liked it and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[northernhord]

A Space CD I bought for the track 'Avenging Angel' good track though, the rest of it is a bit odd sounds like this bunch of scousers have been partaking in Lady Lysergary.

 

[foo]

a couple of Top of the Pops LPs from the 70s.


shocking.

 

[tarannau]

I think a copy of 'Reggae Party Time' is up there for me. A spectacularly awful compilation album of covers (including Maggie May), designed to capitalise on the (then fast growing) reggae 'craze,' performed by an obviously white band with a put-on Jamaican accent.

It's so bad I kind of like it....

 

[ivebeenhigh]

Being the REM completist that I am I have not only the Bluegrass cover versions of their greatest hits BUT ALSO the London Philharmonic covering them as well. Both are shocking.

Oh and I own a Chaka Demus and Pliers record. And the greatest hits of Bon Jovi. I must have 200 albums that are jsut too awful to listen to more than once, bargain bin sort of stuff that you buy hoping you might get lucky. I made a mobile out of about 40 of them.

Well I bought both and never swapped either of 'em.

Fuckin' A.

 

[Bomber]

Great thread! Very cathartic ! So in order to exorcise [or should that be exercise } my demons may I offer the thread one truly awful album by Deep Purple's Jon Lord called 'Windows' and also ask you to consider why a usually sane human being [that'll be me by the way!] went out and purchased 'Mariah Carey Unplugged'

 

[Iam]

'Mariah Carey Unplugged'

We may have a winner!!

 

[Bomber]

We may have a winner!!

Yes allright , no need to shout !! [Hands Iam a fiver, pats him on the head & tells him to run along & get himself some sweeties !]

 

[etnea]

I own the Ally McBeal soundtrack
It was a present from my mum so I feel bad about getting rid of it
Mind you, I own a lot of other crap that I actually like (Evita soundtrack anyone...) so I guess I'm not one to talk

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Well I bought both and never swapped either of 'em.

Fuckin' A.

I think it's pretty crap appart from silent water. Anyway I now too have both.

 

[sojourner]

Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible and the Flying Teapot

God I used to love that when I was 16! If you don't want it anymore, I might have a special place in my heart for it

get off the music forum right now. subjectivity is one thing but that's just taking the piss.

dammit, you got there first. u2 *shudders*

Hmmm...maybe something a teensy bit familiar about jonny's posting style...?

 

[sojourner]

'Mariah Carey Unplugged'

Fuck.Ing.HELL

You win, hands down!!


I was gonna put forward my worst, which is Toploaders Onka's Big Wanker (or sommat like that), but nah, even that can't beat MC

 

[Chairman Meow]

Has anyone mentionned Tin Machine yet? *shudders*

Surely no one on Urban 75 has stooped to quite those depths.

Surely not.

 

[killer b]

why does everyone hate mariah so much? i mean, her music is bad, but it's not that bad...

 

[Hollis]

"Be here now" - it was given to me.. you can't even really hate it that much.. its just nothing, nothing, nothing.

 

[sojourner]

why does everyone hate mariah so much? i mean, her music is bad, but it's not that bad...

Yes...yes it is.

Do you have ears at all? Do they work?

 

[RAAAHH]

art of fact posting on his gf's ting;

a hoobastank album an ex girlfriend bought for me

You're very very wrong.

I did!

 

[The Groke]

a hoobastank album a girlfriend bought for me

I fucking hate these cunts, and I have never even heard them.

Its the name.

That fucking name.

I have a quite irrational hatred of it.

It is surely one of the worst nandbames ever, ever conceived....

Not only does it have absolutely no meaning, it also fails to have any kind of phonetic charm whatsoever.

Hoobastank

FFS!

Massive WANKERS

grr

fuck off.

Anyone who considers Music Has the Right to Children to be a shite album ought to be force fed KY Jelly till death.
