I'm not sure this could be described as a 'worst' album but I have this on CD

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.

Embarrassement wise - 'The Happy Hammond Plays Pop Country' - a gift from friends fed up with my Hammond obsession

I have quite a lot: two REM (the one with Losing my religion and the last one), one Depeche Mode (Exciter), one Billy Joel (live in the USSR)... But I rarely play them. 
Please forgive me for my crappy english!

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

I segregate my girlfriend's house from mine (we are a LAT couple) so this melting of collection does not happen. But there is some horrible crap in her collection (she probably thinks the same of mine) but all things considered , it is fairly decent collection of record for a woman.

More ancient girlfriends had nothing in common music-wise with my tastes and had terrible stuff (K-tel compilations included and special TV offers on Elvis or disco) but I always managed to screw (literaly and figuratively) some musical taste in them.

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?

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 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.

Quote The only thing they had going for them is EVH.

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.

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.
