[Closed] Albums you own but wished you didn't...

[img] [/img]

Well it's a CD rather than album

[img] [/img]

Found it while packing to move house...

Mmmmm Carol Decker....

I bought Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy.... Absolute utter garbage. Really, after such a long wait Axel Rose gave us that cr*p..Should really get rid.

Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite

[img] [/img]

I had 5 Stars second album - not even sure of the name these days

Ooooh - I've got that Spin Doctor's one too!

So far I have three of these, including the one I posted. This isn't going to end well.

I [i]had[/i] this.

[img] [/img]

Saved for months to buy it. No idea what became of it.

As part of a running joke while at uni, I own this:

[img] [/img]

and I once mentioned that I quite liked a song on the radio, so my now Wife bought me this:

[img] [/img]

I've also got this:

[img] [/img]

Think I'll stop there......

@ lemonysam, I have that darkness album. And their next one....one way ticket to hell 😳

Another vote for Chinese Democracy - utter musical garbage.

I'm sure there are loads of others in the attic...

I went through a stage of being really into hardcore (not the dance music) so have loads of Earth Crisis, Stampin' Ground, Strife and other such CD's in the attic.

Equally there'll be loads of ropey late 80's / early 90's c*ck rock there too...The Electric Boys, Love Hate, Dogs D'amour, Zodiac Mindwarp.

Oh and this one.

[img] [/img]

OP, the image in your post wasn't working, so I've edited it so that I can argue with you.

One of my all-time favourite albums, that (and I've got tickets to see T'Pau - well, Carol, Ronnie and band - later in the year).

Equally there'll be loads of ropey late 80's / early 90's c*ck rock there too...The Electric Boys,

There's nothing ropey about Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride. Well, other than the name.

[img] [/img]

I love Lou Reed/VU and I love Metallica but not this...

There's nothing ropey about Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride. Well, other than the name.

The worst bit about it is that Lips 'n Hips was on Planet Rock the other day and I enjoyed hearding it again....

Brooess - I'm a massive Metallica fan but just didn't bother with that. I thought after the horror of Some Kind of Monster they were getting back on track but after that and their set at Glasto Lars and co are still on their own little planet.

That Spin Doctors album is a classic - and if you don't agree well then "Yo Mamma"!

Now this is woeful:

I have Robbie Williams Life through a lens.

And I really do try to hate him, honest I really do, I made a voodoo doll and stuck pins into it and everything, BUT (and that's a big but for those of less observance), I still think it is a pretty good entertaining album.

I have to fess up to owning that T'Pau album. Also Madonna's [i]Ray Of Light;[/i] listened to once. I ought to get shot of it sometime.
Sadly, I also own several Phil Collins albums. I know, I know... (Hangs head, blushes with the shame). 😳

I have to fess up to owning that T'Pau album.

I have all the albums.

And all the CD singles.

Signed.

And most of the 12" singles, and a couple of 7" ones.

Erm.

I'll shut up now.

'Twas a gift, and the person who bought it for me immediately borrowed it for 6 months .

One of the first albums I ever bought, based entirely on the cover. As a thrash metaller of a 13yr old looking for something to go with my Reign in Blood and Master of Puppets c90 copied tapes, this album cover promised so much, and delivered only confused disappointment.

[img] [/img]

although the earlier MDMA gothy stuff was fun and they were nice chaps

Seriously... someone really fancies CAROL DECKER?? Takes all sorts to make a world eh?

I have this... I liked the fretless bass... at the time. The only plus side is I seem to recall persuading my mum to pay for it...
[img] [/img]

Hey stumpy, can I have your Misteeq one? 😀

Bridge of Spies is a great album!

Have to confess I have quite a few of the ones mentioned. And I had a cull of the crap ones a while ago. Or at least, I thought I had. I've just found a copy of Janet Jacksons "Control" I didn't know I had.

Anyone else got Berlins "Count Three and Pray"?

Anyone else got Berlins "Count Three and Pray"?

[i] there are some great songs on there[/i]

No, there really isn't! Nothing that stands the test of time anyway! (I mean, look who its next to in the rack: Neil.)

I have this... I liked the fretless bass... at the time

I had the misfortune to see Paul Young live a few years ago. His voice is shot to ribbons. Shame.

Being a rocker it was odd that I bought this but the gym I went to played this sort of thing and I heard the single Break ya neck and decided to buy the album - the single is pretty cool though.

Trippy Psychedelic hippy excrement.

I'm sure I have a copy of a Craig David album somewhere.........

Good lord, Dog Eat Dog! I remember seeing them on Noisy Mothers (Who's the King?, I think it was) and thinking they were bollocks. 😆

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! 😀

[img] [/img]

And no, i have no idea why i brought it either. Caught up in the moment maybe??

(and PS i quite like that^^^^ Crash Test Dummies Album..... IGMC)

Bridge of Spies is a cracking album. That's bizarre.

I sincerely can;t think of an album I regret.... oh yes.

I bought a Jean Michele Jarre album, possibly Oxygen. In my teenage drug, fight and beer addled mind It sounded kind of sexy. I liked it anyway.

One weekend my dad was out of the house so I spent a good couple of weeks ensuring I would have a young lady staying the night. I made her a meal, we watched a film but now it was time for the good stuff. With precision moves I encouraged her up the stairs, manoeuvred her to the bed and hit the play button (on the stereo), The haunting music of a crazy french bloke played out through the speakers as I worked my magic. Kiss this bit, stroke that bit, kiss that bit again, stroke this bit.

Suddenly she jumps up and starts putting her Donny Osmond T-shirt back on.
"It's not you", she says, "it's that ****ing music"

To my eternal shame, this is the first album i ever bought:

[img] [/img]

…i was eleven at the time though.

[img] [/img]

On vinyl!

Can't find a fault with Carol Deckeror T'pau for that matter.

Then there's this. I received it for Xmas when I was sixteen.[img] [/img]

On the plus side, there's Public Image, INXS, Talk Talk, Bass-O-Matic and The Cure.

But there's Timmy Mallett, Betty Boo, Sting and MC Hammer.

[i]But there's Timmy Mallett, Betty Boo, Sting and MC Hammer,[/i] 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. 😐

[img] [/img]

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.

Always on a roof, for some reason.

[i]And I bloody hate it.[/i]

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:
[img] [/img]
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

[i]He reckoned it was the worst album he'd ever heard.

Just checked them on Youtube

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.

[img] [/img]

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...

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....

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.

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.
