 Topic: Your most embarrassing CD!
Posted: March 03 2005 at 23:08 |
So...spill it...
What is the most embarrassing CD in your collection THAT YOU ACTUALLY LIKE?
It can be prog or non-prog. I'll give mine after a few of you have contributed.

Spin Doctors - Homebelly Groove (they are actually a really talented and groovy jam band, they just have a bad reputation because of their few poppy hits.)
Yes - 90125 (I tried to deny it for a while, but I gotta admit, I actually like it. except for owner of a lonely heart, i hate that song, but it's not that bad of an album)

The Carpenters Greatest Hits. An absolute gem. So why be embarrassed?

I'm not embarassed about any of my CDs. I'm sure some of you would turn your noses up at Billy Joel or Marvin Gaye, but that doesn't matter to me!

Van Halen isn't terrible or embarrassing. They are overrated terribly. The only thing they had going for them is EVH.
I'd have to say my biggest embarrassment is... I don't have one. I like all the music I buy.

Well, I must disagree with that...without both frontmen (meaning Dave AND Sammy), VH would be diddly squat. The Cherone album has a few solid tunes, too, but nothing that touches Fair Warning, 5150, etc.

I get rid of mine so I am not embarassed anymore!!!!
Actually If I am to be embarassed about a owning a CD , then it is because I hate the music  on it.
But I would rather not own any Chic albums although I think they are great musicians and made excellent funk.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I wouldn't be too embarassed about the Thompson Twins. I have albums by Duran Duran, OMD, The Asscociates, Ultravox and Tears for Fears.
Considering I was a metal head in the 80's, I have an alarming amount of 'new romantic' sh!t in my collection, which I dont remember buying, but I guess I must have. Most of these are actually on vinyl.

Abba Gold. Wanna fight about it?
Also not too proud of the Jimmy Somerville CD, but it belonged to a friend of mine who died so I don't have the heart to get rid of it. And there's a bunch of crappy CDs that came with the wife, but those don't count, do they?
