Albums you own but wished you didn't…

But there’s Timmy Mallett, Betty Boo, Sting and MC Hammer, Phil Collins, Elton John and Tina Turner. 😆

I may have to re-visit Bridge of Spies – there seems to be a lot of love for it! It’s been a while since it was in the CD player.

You mean… this whole thread was started under false pretenses?? I’m disgusted.

I still own this, I have very few Albums left but this, this I can’t seem to get ride of.. And I bloody hate it. 😐

D’you know… I don’t think I own any albums I don’t like. But I’m a bit conflicted about the Lady Gaga one.

Good lord, Dog Eat Dog! I remember seeing them on Noisy Mothers (Who’s the King?, I think it was)

Always on a roof, for some reason.

And I bloody hate it.

Send it to me, I’ll smash it to tiny pieces for you.

I bought four Kings of Leon albums before I realized that the only song I like is ‘The Bucket’.

My mate gave me this when I was 17:

He reckoned it was the worst album he’d ever heard.
I’m 45 now and still not played it yet.
Really must get around to trying it one of these days.

Oh, and T’Pau – awesome.

maxtorque, Ooh, I have that Spice Girls album, too – I was a present from a girlfeinds parents for Christmas and I was too polite to sling it back at them!

I have a real catalogue of crap by the way the CTD was just one that sprang to mind!

You have no sense of humour. 😀

I hated it too until I went on holiday by mistake with three nurses from Doncaster.
Four of us in a Metro for a week and only one cassette in the car.
Guess what it was. 🙂

Resistance is futile.

Glad that I own it, but I wish I could eject Trout Mask Replica from my car stereo where it has been stuck for several years

Just checked them on Youtube http://youtu.be/ujl7OrfUAEM

They just sound like they can’t be arsed, which has a certain charm in itself.
I’d certainly rather listen to that than Meatloaf. Or T’Pau.

Yeah, but you’re a snob.

Right.
I DEMAND to know what you had taken to make you think that TMR would be the perfect accompaniment for a pleasant drive out?

Oh yes. I forgot 😆

I think ive a savage garden album somewhere, I went through a phase of buying loads of secondhand albums, some unexpected gems, a lot of utter crap.

There are some I like less than others, but none I wished I didn’t own. I’ll never give any of them up (250+ vinyl and 300+ CDs) as they help plot my musical journey.

Started with ‘Axe Attack’ (a metal compilation album) and my last purchase was probably Black Sabbath 13 (via The Bangles, Simple Minds, Sex Pistols, Simon & Garfunkel, Pulp, The Beatles, Rondo Veneziano, Nigel Kennedy, Jamiroquai etc etc etc…. So a bit of a roundabout way of staying a metalhead. 🙂

Ha, one of my favourite albums, I used to have to stop myself playing it too much as I feared I’d get too used to it and it could become just another album.

I’m ashamed to admit this……. 😕

Pfftt, ‘Would I Lie To You?’ is a stone cold classic.
It’s nowhere near as good as ‘It’s Raining Men’ of course, but what is?

‘Would I Lie To You?’ is a stone cold classic

I tend to agree 😯 ….I bought the album expecting more of the same….very disappointing

I agree – would I lie to you is a fantastic track

1 hit wonders – hmmmm there iis a thread in there I think

I few years ago Uncut magazine started an amazzing one hit wonders spotify playlist

Love Hate blackout in the red room is Quality so should be scrubbed from this listing.
A genuine contender would be Warrant – Cherry Pie. Genuine bile…

I think the most disappointing albums I own were Metallica’s Load and Reload. In terms of embarrassment, I owned Kylie’s first album. Plus Jason Donovan and New Kids on the Block. I was eight, though… I don’t regret Bananarama’s Greatest Hits though!

Load has some ace songs on it – it’s different to previous albums but Bleeding Me, Unit it Sleeps, King Nothing and the Outlaw Torn are genuinely good songs. Reload has one or two moments but a lot of obvious filler.

The album I have is Wasted in America…a bit squiffy really.

Warrant are utter bilge…don’t have anything by them (although have probably drunkly danced like a tool to Cherry Pie in Eddie’s Nr 8 in Brum many a time).

Good lord, I remember axe attack. I recall Paranoid and a Van Halen track, can’t remember anything else from it though.

Alanf – Blackout in the red room, the only gig I’ve ever walked out of, might have stuck it out but other than the music the date was going well…

Warrant – nearly saw them support Dave Lee Roth on his “Little ain’t enough” tour, but someone had injured themselves and they were replaced by Jagged Edge, who were fantastic!

eeee, when I were a lad….

BFITH, I’ll take it off yer hands.

I’ve sat hovering over buy on Amazon for that.

I used to have it but passed it on (sold it ages ago more like).

Iirc there are actually 2 ace tracks: the other being NYC. Man I loved that one too.

Mind you I did watch a YouTube video and though, hmm, dodgy geezers!

I have a couple of Iron & Wine (and Bright Eyes?) CDs that I’ve never even taken out the wrapping… I’ll nominate them… Oh the 2nd (last?) Bon Iver album. And some Springsteen thing the issued from the late 70’s that never hit the spot.

Maybe we should start a swap shop….

Yeah, it’s funny because both of them have songs I really like (especially some years after the fact). If they’d called themselves something different, I think I would have been a bit more charitable towards them, but they don’t feel like Metallica albums.
