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)

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.

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.

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.

I combined my collections with the wife a long time ago (she had loads of Tori Amos, David Bowie, Kate Bush CDs I didn't) ... but that also meant that the 90s pop section of our collection includes such stuff as Celine Dion's Best Of, Mariah Carey's Greatest Hits and both Spice Girls' albums ... I'm not particularly horrified though ...
The one CD that I contributed that all my friends (not to mention siblings and wife!) keep trying to tease me about is The Bangles' Different Light ... but I'll take Manic Monday and Walk Like An Egyptian over prog's weakest moments anytime

Although, I have to say that had it not been for my wife, I would never have heard anything by 'The The' - terrific band, Matt Johnson is one of the UK's most under-rated songwriters.

I have some ABBA LPs from the 70s but they were actually a great pop
band so it doesn`t really embarass me to have them in my collection.
What really embarasses me though, is this Partridge Family album which
used to belong to my kid sister. It`s in mint condition with the
original sleeve and plastic wrap on it. I `ll hold on to it maybe some
sucker will offer me $$$$$$$ for it.

A little something about Men Without Hats:
Canadian new wave synth pop collective Men Without Hats was formed in 1980 by brothers Ivan and Stefan Doroschuk. Ivan was the leader of the group, writing the majority of the songs and providing the lead vocals; Stefan was the guitarist; and other members changed frequently throughout the course of their career. Taken from their debut, the single "The Safety Dance" became a major hit, peaking on the American charts at number three in 1983. Driven by an insistent three-chord synthesizer riff, the song was one of the biggest synth pop hits of the new wave era. The group wasn't able to exploit its success, however. Thanks to the minor-hit title track, 1987's Pop Goes the World was a bigger success, yet it didn't recapture the audience their first album had gained. Released two years later, The Adventures of Women & Men Without Hate in the 21st Century failed to chart, as did its follow-up, 1991's Sideways. The two albums' lack of success effectively put an end to Men Without Hats' career.
Seems like at least a million others share your embarrassment!![Embarrassed](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif)

Strange thing is - some prog heads on here would be embarrassed by the Abacab CD by Genesis but also listen to ABBA and The fookin Carpenters !!!!!
The Carpenters is a wimmins band if ever there was such a thing ! - The only Cure for "Carpenters Ear" is a dose of "The glass prison" by Dream Theater........

There's only one which actally embarasses me (though I suspect a lot of members would look askance at many of my non prog selections). Some years ago I had a wonderful album called 'Songs of the Blowhead Whale', which was untreated recordings of whales singing to each other. This is superb stuff, particularly when you're drifting off to sleep in a suitably 'relaxed' state of mind. Some semi evolved amateur criminal nicked it, along with a huge pile of other largely irreplaceable vinyl albums and singles, and a few months later a well meaning friend but me a whale song CD. This turned out to be on the Hallmark label, and was full of wind chimes and other such drippy new age crap. Despite this, I became perversely fond of it and it remains lurking in my collection to this day, though I generally dismiss it as something left by an ex.

does owning the CD-singles of "Macarena" and "Tubthumping" count? ![](smileys/smiley36.gif)

I can never forget the embarrassment I felt once whilst driving along with the window down and the radio on. Tubthumping came on as I was stopped at traffic lights-alongside a funeral cortege...![Embarrassed](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif)

I had a similar experience, except with Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold". I had cranked it up, irritated that traffic was moving so slowly, and was preparing to pass the car in front of me when I realized that it was the last car in a funeral procession. ![](smileys/smiley9.gif)
If I'd been on the ball, I would have popped the tape out and replaced it with something much more appropriate...like "Enjoy Yourself, It's Later than You Think" by The Specials. ![](smileys/smiley36.gif)

Bon Scott's last album performing with AC/DC even though he wrote most of the lyrics on Back In Black.

FloydWright asked us, "What is the most embarassing CD in your collection THAT YOU ACTUALLY LIKE?" I like Ultimate Spinach. I'm not embarassed by it. Others might find the lyrics to "Mind Flowers" freak-out section a bad trip. And "The Funny Freak Parade" from the first album might make people think wha..? Peace, brother.
