 Topic: Your most embarrassing cd......?
Posted: June 11 2006 at 18:54 |
Ok, not sure if this has been done before, but...what's the most embarrassing cd in your collection? Come on now, don't be ashamed! I'm sure we all have at least one. You don't have to give a reason why you've got it, but you can if you wish. Is it something you were given as a present? Is it something you used to like, but don't now? I am interested to know.
I will start the ball rolling with mine:
WHAM - MAKE IT BIG!
Yes, I own this album! There was an offer on in Woolworths, a few years ago; buy 3 cds, pay only for 2. I got the first two Robbie Williams cds, as I liked his stuff at the time, and still do to an extent, his lyrics are very clever. (Don't think so much of his latest album though.) For my free cd, the choice was very limited, mainly Kylie Minogue/Destiny's Child type rubbish. Then I saw Wham. My wife quite liked them, her sister used to have the album on vinyl, and I do think George Michael can actually sing. And it was remastered! And that was how I came to own it. Haven't played it for ages, but probably will again one day.
(I know, some people will reply saying 'it's more embarrassing to own a Robbie Williams cd.' Or they will say: 'should have chosen Kylie instead.' :)
Anyway, it's over to you, fellow prog fans.

I still have two Michael Jackson cassettes ("Bad" & "Dangerous") somewhere, I think. I used to have one Ace of Base cassette also. As for a CD... "Songs for lovers" (bought by my mother in a supermarket).

I've got Night Ranger's Greatest Hits. Not sure if it's my most embarrassing, but it's pretty 80's sugar coated metal.

Hmm, I have a couple:
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Michael Jackson - Greatest Hits
Jamiroquai - Dynamite
Phil Collins - ...Hits
Creed - Discography
and three Ani DiFranco albums...
Not ashamed though, I really enjoy these when I need a break from complex stuff, you can make fun of me though, I won't mind.

Billy Joel is FAR from embarrassing!! I've got a lot of his discs, and The Stranger is an absolute classic!

Nothing here to be embarrassed about.... except Creed I think.  I used to be a big fan of Creed back in middle school, then one day I just realized they suck and stopped listening to their Cds. I'm not really embarrassed by anything I own. I have Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', but I still think that's a great album. Probably the most embarrassing thing I have is ELP's Love Beach

You have no idea how many "Billy Joel Driving" jokes I get.
Person looking at "Glass Houses" CD : "Hey, that's Billy Joel's windshield!"

If anything, you should be more embarrassed in allowing Mookie Wilson's slow dribbler to get past you in game 6 against the Mets. LOL!

I was depressed and distracted by Invisible Touch. Not my fault.

We can allow that one, considering how freaking hot Susannah Hoffs is. That girl gives me the warmies.

I got Abba's first album but gave it to my sister who is still a fan after 32 years. She never got into prog and I never got into Abba
