So i was digging through some old CDs this past weekend...and discovered this gem.

Can you top Loverboys Greatest Hits?


Whats your worst?

Double Dose from Poison.

My first cassette tape that I ever owned... Physical, by Oliva Newton John

my wife has albums from her young days. since we're married....in some respect I too own them....
this is easily the biggest piece of crap in my house.

Europe :facepalm:

I dont own any CD's, records or tapes.

karate kid soundtrack

"karate never here"

Without a doubt, it's I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.

Honorable mentions: Gangnam Style and Call Me Maybe.

For some reason I have a cassette from Insane Clown Posse called, "Forgotten Freshness" or something. It's songs that weren't good enough to make it onto one of their regular albums, which should tell you just how sucky it is.

hey man! I had that when I was a kid, and it has much better songs on it than that damn Shaun Cassidy album! ROFL

I found a Thompson Twins cassette a week or two ago (Here's to Future Days).
Don't know why/how I got it. Don't know why/how I've held on to it for nearly 30 years.
I don't think it found its way to the trash can yet.

Without a doubt, it's that one black sabbath record with Ian Gillan on it. /humblebrag

I always liked the son "Hot Girls in Love" by Loverboy.

You could do worse.

I've gotten rid of all my CDs but somewhere along the way I came across a Madonna CD I once owned. How that happens I don't know.

And yes I'm straight. :p

Ultimate turn in your man card moment.

I agree about that not being a top-shelf album, but surely you have something worse than that?!?!?!?!

I believe I still have some Master P & South Park Mexican albums from when I was around 10 years old...

Metallica - Garage Inc.

Ouch. At least it's not St. Anger.

Angry Rich and the Anal Assassins.

Iron Maiden

I've never owned anything by them, but if I did it would be the worst, by far...

There's a couple good songs on there. I love Mercyful Fate.

Perception is everything. Their albums are among the best I own to me.

Yes, that was a turd.

"Ive got something to say! I killed your baby today! Doesn't matter much to me as long as its dead!"

"I got somthing to say! I raped your mother today! Doesn't matter much to me as long as she's breed!"

Wasn't that album a bunch of hardcore punk covers or something?

Well, i had Vanilla Ice's CD but got rid of it years ago.

Bruce Dickenson can die a miserable death.

Are you the frontman for a metal band, or a popstar? Choose, ****er.

:)

Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band album. It was given to me with a bunch of other no-hit wonders by a radio station DJ.

"We're All Boat People" by Art (The Only Band in the World) from Carnegie Hall.

What would make him a pop star?

That's the raider nation anthem & or theme song.

See, i knew you had (or used to have) something worse than Loverboy.

I will check my collection when i get home and post my findings.

Cassette single of Debbie Gibson- Foolish Beat.

probably LL COOL J album

I still have a copy of The Cars' "Heartbeat City" on vinyl. The image of the Duster 340 on the cover is the only good thing about it.

I don't have anything that really qualifys for this list, I like the music I own... which is why I own it.

Sure I could list 78 things you guys think suck but it's a well known fact you guys have shitty taste in music.


:)

Probably the debut album from Drowning Pool.

That's not that bad..I figured you might have some Tiffany lying around somewhere?

Zamfir on the pan flute. Got it as a gag gift.

I've got some pretty laughable pornogrind.

Steel Panther

I have that too, also on vinyl.

Ashamed to admit. Once bought a Paula Abdul CD.

Well she IS forever your girl...

I just went through some old CDs to see what horrible crap I have. Somehow I have this CD.

I also have this CD but it's from when I was like 10 years old. I didn't know any better. Ok **** you I still sorta like it. Eat my ass.

Jon Secada is a very talented singer and I like that song.


:harumph:

Have this as well. Big Cars fan. But... But.... This is really disappointing. Like Ocasek was trying too hard.

Whatever happened to that guy?

Well he was getting a little old for pop when he broke in America... was in his low 30's. Did a lot of Spanish music, had 6 top 40 hits in the U.S. though. That's pretty good for any pop singer. I don't see him as a guy who had American pop as a high priority really.

edit... He was also more of an Adult Contemporary singer/star than top 40.

Well shit, I was hoping you might be interested in purchasing mine. So much for that plan.

I'll give ya that it's not a great Cars album, although I haven't listened to anything on it for so long I really don't even remember it. I liked some of it though.

Ok damn.....I just found some Roxette on cassette. come on Join the Joyride........



But screw you guys, I kinda dig it.

Roxette had a couple songs I enjoyed. So sue me.

I couldn't even remember off the top of my head what songs were on it, so I looked it up, it's all terrible. The whole damn album is crap.

Kinda fits the current state of our Chiefs

On purpose?!?:eek:

I liked "Magic" and "Hello Again." 80's pop stuff... yeah... but I like a ton of 80's pop stuff. Oh well.

The Cars had a lot of great stuff up until that atrocity. The only other band I can think of that took that big of a nosedive was the whole "Starship" debacle that Jefferson Starship morphed into. God, what the hell was that all about.

Trying to stay relevant in changing times. Same as The Cars and a hundred other bands. I'm not saying I'm for it... just saying what I believe causes those things.

Well it didn't work for either band. I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't just stick with what got you where you were.

Guess I'd go with Peter Gabriel Shaking the Tree CD. Only cuz it's my least favorite CD, also T Rex the Slider maybe? I don't have anything I don't like.

I just scanned my iPhone and the recording that stood out to me as the first thing I'd remove is The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts.

Because the bulk of music is purchased by people under 30 years old... so appealing to them is important. It actually did "work" for both bands. They stayed on the charts and kept selling albums. You and many of the "original" fans just didn't like it... which is completely fair. It's just a matter of the market changing and bands adjusting to it. Fans of the early stuff usually hate it, younger money-spending fans often like it. Bands don't WANT to alienate fans, they WANT to keep recording music, selling out shows and living their dreams. I can't blame them for that... it's what they do.

Again I'm not defending the practice, just trying to explain what happens in my experience. Show me a band that has never changed even a little bit what they do as the market changes. There are a few but VERY few. More power to them when they make it work.

AC/DC comes to mind... but even they changed to a degree.

Yeah, I guess it "worked" for one album. But what did The Cars do after that? Starship was never heard of again. Styx flamed out after the Kilroy Was Here album, which I'm pretty sure sold a lot of copies. I think people bought these albums on band names alone, and then realized they pretty much sucked. If I had waited another month before I bought Heartbeat City, I probably wouldn't have bought it at all.

negative rep.

If you heard the Cars 3rd album "Panorama" when it came out, it sounded like a piece of shit. But after I listened to it 30 times, things started to come through that made it interesting to listen to that were unintelligible on a few listens. The Cars were like that, they invented things that weren't what was expected, with a few exceptions that were pointed out earlier. They set the trends, they didn't follow them.

I don't own this album, but would pay big bucks for it. My favorite Jesus Ska Band Sonseed!

Check out the guitarist... he looks like he's in the English Beat!

That's a fair assesment and a good point. The fact is most musical acts have careers like most atheletes... they have their decade. The truly creative/inventive/genius stick around for multiple decades. Those are the greats and HOFers.

30 times?!? Man I don't have that kind of patience when it comes to music. I know what you're saying though, there are a lot of songs that have really grown on me over the years that I didn't care much for initially, but something about a song has to grab me right away or I lose interest pretty quickly.

OK I found this in my collection. I do indeed own some truly shitty music.

Georgio "Sex Appeal"


<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p8I58EtRMNk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I lost interest as soon as I read the title.

If you're talking about my Georgio post you did yourself a big favor. I didn't remember having that. I hope to GOD I didn't spend money on it but I probably did.

Eh, I spent money on Van Halen's 1984. Georgio can't be any worse than that.

Way worse and it's not even close. 1984 had a couple good songs.

I know, I know... not to you because you're taste in music is too pure to like anything other than what a bands first couple albums were about...

:D

I'm a big fan of Eric Johnson, the Texas Tornado, EJ... one of the finest guitar players to ever lay down a track... Grammy Award winner, the guy who created one of the greatest guitar instrumentals of all time, "Cliffs of Dover".

So, I hadn't picked up a new album of his in a couple of years, and I come across this - Link . Yeah, the description of a 45 minute guitar wankoff is spot on. A different Eric Johnson.

Thankfully, I came across Up Close and his Electromagnets work.

I'm not sure that's accurate. I'm just old and grumpy and set in my ways. What's funny is I also still have that copy of 1984, out of the handful of vinyl albums I still have two of them are what I consider my worst purchases of all time. I suppose the reason they've lasted so long is partly because I never listened to them.

If I'm not mistaken you're only months older than me. You gravitated it seems to an original sound and I gravitated to a more progessive sound... over all. I like the originals while appreciating new music. You like a more rock based sound throughout. Am I wrong?

I don't think there's fault in either. For what I do now it was good that I could adjust. As a pure music lover it works for you to be attracted to a more pure or original approach.

Just my take. I could be full of shit.

The bulk of my library is classic rock from 68-82. And I could never work in the radio industry. Waaayyy too closed-minded when it comes to music.

Radio isn't meant to be a medium to play everything. It's a business. It's meant to appeal to a given audience... attract that listener, get ratings among that demo, sell advertising to businesses that want that demo, profit.

It's no different from any other business... some people just think it should be. For some reason radio is suppossed to be above other kinds of business that exisits to make money to some people. I'm not sure why that is. Radio was never that. Nor was tv or print. We find it quite amusing.

That said most people I know in radio got into it because they love music... and hardly any of them listen to the stuff on the radio on their own time.
