I have Gilbert O'Sullivan's Greatest Hits because I
liked the track Nothing Rhymed.

I bought this at the same time as a Zodiac Mindwarp
LP. The assistant said it was the most bizarre
combined sale he'd ever made.

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

He's right! Also Abba (great stuff) and James Taylor. Oh dear I am showing my age...

I have Babylon Zoo's The Boy With The X-ray Eyes.

I don't think it's bad, in fact it quite nice pop music though I seldom listen it anymore.

Only fellow finns propably know this one, but it's ultra-embarassing: Sepi Kumpulainen: Laulava Talonmies. I have it only on casette though.

At least it was worth a few laughs.

And do you know that a great female bassist and Chapman Stick player was in that band? Her name is Carrie Melbourne, she played in several Mike Oldfield albums and live works, she's very creative.

One of the best woman in the world of music. She plays Chapman Stick as nobody else can do.

My most embarassing CD is the first Montrose album, not because of the music but because of the awful cover.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Brilliant! I have that and a lot of other eighties pop ... Propaganda, Level 42, Killing Joke and Tears For Fears. Great stuff. I also have quite a bit of eighties heavy metal. I'm not embarassed about any of it. What I am embarassed about is some of the Gong stuff! I wouldn't want my friends to hear me listening to some of that!

Does everyone remember that Steve Howe played on Welcome to the Pleasure Dome?

Most embarrassing CD..........Hayseed Dixie - a Bluegrass tribute to AC/DC........absolutely AWESOME!

By the way if Cass Elliott had shared her ham sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they'd both be alive today...

So that's why it sounds so good! Actually it sounds good because it was done by Yes's Trevor Horn. So in fact it was the best album that Yes never made!

I don't really have any albums I'm embarasssed of. The closest thing would probably be a compilation of 80s hits, with Kasey Casem's name all over it.

Got this in my early teens whilst still living at home with my parents, not sure what to expect when I cranked the LP up on the old music centre. Suffice it to say it didn't go down at all well. Had to buy headphones before I was allowed to listen to it again (he was apparently a very rude man!)

Since this has been resurrected yet again I'm going to have to do it...I've summoned the courage...

Mariah Carey's sensational debut album - "Mariah Carey"

Ah yes, I well remember the days of the "Tea Kettle" and with much fondness... Mariah, Mariah, Mariah, where did it all go so wrong?

The funny thing is even all the women in my life are _horrified_.

Contenders:

Yes -- Tales From Topographic Oceans, Queensryche -- Operation Mindcrime, Rush -- Caress of Steel

I'm sure I still own other embarassing albums, but these come immediately to mind.

I have about 5 CDs of THE CORRS.

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

Nothing embarrasing about them. Good looking girls plays some music, sometimes quite pleasant music. Do not think I would buy any of their albums, but I would not mind to watch the video on rare occasion.

Most embarrasing CDs that I have are : two last by Garden Wall and "Universe" by Edhels. All three costed me alot of money, I had great expectations towards each of them, and I completely disliked the music on each. That was total embarassement, complete disappointment, let down and waste of money.
