Time to confess. What's the record you're most ashamed of when someone comes to visit and snoops around our record collection.(Not the crap ones given to you as Christmas gifts by cretinous relatives but the ones you were stupid enough to buy yourself)
Mine is a vinyl copy of Arena by Duran Duran

That's classic! But I've got DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper" vinyl LP! Including such hits as "Nightmare on My Street" and "Parents Just Don't Understand".

I think you'll find that you are the dumb one in this case!!!
I think I'd have to agree with Mr. Monkey here. I don't personally like Nirvana or the Smashing Pumpkins, but you've said yourself that you do like the records, but you're sick of them. Well, isn't there a chance that you'll want to hear them again sometime along the line, and then you'll be sorry that you sold them all for less than what it might cost you to buy them back again?
...no, i have 250 other albums! which i love a lot more! and i'm lying to my friends when i'm saying i'm just sick of them. i actually hate them. apart from in utero, siamese dream and pinkerton, which i've kept for nostalgia's sake.

It would probably be Motley Crue, "Motley Crue", although I'm sort of proud to own it. I also got a James Taylor live CD...

I have a variety of CD's in my truck right now. Nothing to embarrasing.. ohh I guess my Vanilla Ice tape takes the trophey in my collection.
you guys are BRUTAL !! Siamese Dream ROCKS! not a huge pumpkin / billy corgan fan, but that album is amazing. I just bought Earphoria becuase of the live tracks from Siamese and Gish, it rocks too. I can't see how someone could call it thier most embarrasing CD, it's not like it's Eddy Murphy... "my girl like party all da time ... party all the time"

i'm not embarrassed to admit i'd put "The Seeds Of Love" on my short list of Desert Island Discs. Perfect production on that one. And the other discs are real good, too. Except maybe that b-sides cd that kinda sucked. As did the final album (Kings of Spain or whatever), though i haven't heard the entire thing.
A good off-shot from this topic would be "Embarrassing songs you put on your portable mp3 player".. there are a few stinkers I'll put on there, and when they come on, i just gotta pray no one can hear it or ask me what i'm listening to.  Like maybe some Christopher Cross or Richard Marx. But at least I don't own their albums. |

LYLE WORKMAN "TABULA RASA"
I bought it because I like his style of solo guitar, that is with Frank Black writing the songs though. I wasn't expecting a whole lot but never expected ez jazz gay country new age over produced dog fart guitar music. Lyle sucks and should continue writing jingles. Like Frank's quote about new music on the radio, is it some comercial for dog food or what?

My old school friends have Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Twisted Sister and Europe (The final countdown)and Bon Jovi albums. We take em out when we're drunk and have a laugh. Thank God we discovered the Clash.
I have a story about Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
While a senior in high school (1986), I read a little clipping in Rolling Stone about ex-Generation X'er Tony James creating a new band called Sigue Sigue Sputnik. I loved Generation X and Billy Idol (who used to sing for them) so I actively searched for that record even before it came out. When it did, I loved it. They later used that Love Missile tune in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Anyway, I go straight to college after graduation and immediately get myself a slot at the college radio station. In spring of '87, there was a CMJ convention in NYC and the station manager and program took me along. We met all these crazy people and quite a few dorky college DJs (like me) but best of all we met Tony James: one of the pioneers of punk music, personal friend to Mick Jones, and now leading his own really hot band, SSS. I was a little star-struck but not too bad. I asked him if he'd do a promo for my radio show, which he did. As most things eventually do, SSS lost it's flavor.
Flash-forward 15 years. I'm bored one day, just finished watching Ferris Bueller when I think to myself, "I wonder if there's any fansites out there for Sigue Sigue Sputnik?" Not only were there fansites, but Tony James had put out 4 entirely new CDs himself since I left them. Talk about a determined man! Being a fan (and surely one of the first), I purchased all the new stuff to catch myself up. Yeah, a lot of it's crap but some of it is quite good.
So, should I be embarassed about this?

Welcome Gav Williams!
Nice Ricky Gervais quote! - if you haven't already, you need to catch his new dvd 'Animals'. Very funny stand up show.
Regarding the thread topic, I guess ny Abba records are a little embarrassing. The Men They Couldn't Hang albums are also looking a bit dodgy these days.

Most embarrassing? Mmmm. Interesting. The first record I ever got was Don't Kill The World by Boney M. My Gran bought it for me when I was 4 or 5. The cover had them chilling on these wrecked cars like the apocalypse went through Detroit first and their afros protected them, or something. Classic. Currently, I can't think of anything although I fucking love the Grand Theft Auto Vice City 80's Soundtrack. Oh and I own a Sugar Ray single (got it for free though).
I'm also in here looking for some old mates who were on the E-groups Abstract Plain mailing list. To quote Ricky Gervais, we ruled the world before you did. Denis from France, Sam from Australia, the dudes from The Bennies and "...shiver..." Xylen or Lindsay Thompson. And the guy who was into the Simpsons you know who you is...my memeory is addled from a year away from technology propping up a lager splashed bar. Cheers |

I saw a NOFX video on VH1classic a few weeks ago. Seeing all that honest moshing and good punk vibes, I got really nostalgic, and I involuntarily cried.
I think my biggest embarassment is my Why Can't Tori Read cd. <shudder!!> Somebody else here mentioned that one too. I got way too into her stuff - though there were some gems, seeing her as she has been for the last several years, I am pretty embarassed to have liked her enough to buy that piece of crap from her past.

I'm not embarrassed to say I own 2 Marilyn Manson CDs. I actually like them.
I also have a Frank Sinatra Best Of, you know, that guy who sang with Robbie Williams :)
I sold all my Abba LPs though. I used to love them when I was *cough*13*cough*. Then the Smiths appeared and saved my soul.

I have almost everything Frankie Goes to Hollywood ever put out. At sixteen I didn't even realize they were this big gay band. I used to wear their t -shirt to school all the time. No wonder I had no dates. One of the best concerts I've ever seen though. |

I have Andrew Dice Clay live on CD.
I actually have New Kids on the Block's Hangin' Tough, but I didn't buy it. My anal compulsive roommate in college had it. He had a CD holder that held 20 CD's. He then went out and bought some crappy hair band CD (this is 1990, the band sang some power ballad called “Angel Eyes”), so he then had 21 CD’s. In his mind, he had to get rid of one of his CD’s. He couldn’t rationalize having 21 CD’s when he only had a holder which held 20 CD’s. So he gave me Hangin’ Tough. I would play it drunk to annoy people. |

I was so excited though- it has "Twist of Fate" AND "Livin in Desperate Times"!!! |
