As I delve deeper into the various sub-genres of progressive rock, every once in a while it is nice to take a break from prog and listen to some straight pop rock.
 
Fever-Kylie Minogue
 
Debut, Post, Homegenic, Veripitude-Bjork (Debut  is her best i think)
 
Pretenders, Pretenders II, and Learning to Crawl-The Pretenders
 
Thrird Eye Blind-Third Eye Blind
 
Urban Hymns-The Verve
 
Thrwoing Copper-Live
 
Rage Against the Machine, Evil Empire, Battle for Los Angelos-Rage Against the Machine
 
 
 
Even after listening to all these great albums, I always find myselkf coming back to the genre I love most progressive rock

I had the misfortune of losing my entire music collection a while back. The bonus was that I found myself exploring new things, instead of just replacing old favorites. Now, I don't own anything that I would consider embarassing. But, I may have had the winner in my original stacks of vinyl. Did anyone else ever have a copy of "Pack Man Fever?"

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.



MAKE IT BIG is a great pop-album!It was the soundtrack of my middle-school parties!

I once bought these for about 0.20€ each just to hear how bad they really are, but I haven't dared to listen to them yet:

Leila K. - Carousel
Vanilla Ice - To the Extreme

I also have Spice Girls' debut and a Mandy Moore single. Embarrassed Must I name more or did I already win?

I don't really have any "embarrassing" CDs, such as trashy soundtracks or unashamedly commercial chart fodder. On the other hand, I have a few pop CDs, which IMHO are rather good quality, such as Annie Lennox's "Medusa", an Eurythmics compilation (Annie's voice is one of the best ever!) and kd lang's "Ingénue". They're not prog, hard rock, metal or even classic rock, but to my mind it's great music nonetheless.

I don't know the others, but I really like Ingenue. A really unusual album, and certainly not mainstream!Clap

Interesting that K.D. Lang's Ingenue is mentioned a couple of times here. I own this myself, and I love it! When I want a beautifully sung, mellow album, with nicely crafted songs on it, I play this. She has a wonderful voice, rich, in tune, and NOT TOO HIGH PITCHED (A pet hate of mine.) It's a pity 95% of today's female singers, (in the pop world at least) feel they have to have a feeble, wavery, high-pitched, nasally Kylie/Madonna like whine to their voice: no depth, no richness, no warmth. Makes me wonder who teaches them to sing like that, or are they just copying the ones who came before?
Anyway, if we expand the topic to include vinyl etc, I could add a couple of other contenders myself. Probably the worst album I ever possessed (though I got shut of it years ago), was a BONEY M album, bought with my own hands too! (Oh the shame, father, the shame!) Not even sure why I bought it. It was when 'Brown Girl In The Ring' was popular.
Haven't looked through my vinyl for years, not owning a record player now, not sure what lurks in there. I do have GEOFF LOVE'S TV THEMES, from about 1973. Just TV soundtracks, but not bad actually (compared to BONEY M anyway!) Also, I have an ALVIN STARDUST album, his first one if I remember.
And on cassette...
 
I BOUGHT A LENA MARTELL TAPE ONCE.
 
There, I feel better now I have that off my chest, may I get off the couch now Doctor? Embarrassed

I'm far more embarrassed at having a Dream Theater CD than an ABBA one - "The Visitors", ABBA's last and an excellent album!
