A fitting tribute... :)

Ok so worst album? ummmmm....I find myself scrabbling through the collection...

Kingmaker - Eat Yourself Whole.

Just found Doubt, by Jesus Jones too...LMAO

I don't think they're that bad, just remind me of a time when I didn't know any better.

Peace Out

I am dating myself here, but I have two Partridge Family albums and an Osmonds album. Seriously. I saved them from when I was like 6 or something.

Other than that.... I can't think of anything because I'm not at home right now. I know that I have a lot of crap on vinyl though.

Hmmm... sounds like the name of a band... "Crap On Vinyl".

I wish I could go through my albums, they are in another town at my other home. :-(

But, speaking of dating ourselves, I have the original Disney Bambi soundtrack on Vinyl with the Storybook.

Have a great day!
Karen

LOL!! I just read the first paragraph Billy... Thank you for making me laugh today!

Yes, I have a bad habit of starting at the bottom of things and reading upwards. Which that is a good thing to do if you are proof reading things, because you catch more spelling mistakes. Just a little trivia info for the day. ;-)

I have a CD single of Naughty by Natures'..."OPP".

I know you guys are laughing with me, not at me, right? Right???

What in the name of John Lydon was I thinking....

Okay, I have several shameful albums, but I love them...so here goes:
The Best of ABBA--great songs on there.
Savatage--Hall of the Mountain King--okay, I don't LOVE this one, but it's not bad as far as hair metal goes.
The Best of Poison--who doesn't love CC Deville?
Neil Diamond--Two best of albums--LOVE Neil Diamond, I think he's fantastic.
Gwar--I think I have all of the albums--can't help it, they are too funny.
And...I hate to admit that I like the Queen song "One Year of Love"--it's so sappy...

hi Billy, yo.... 'supp?

Well.... dont have any shameful cd's at the moment....I have been 'flushing' my collection for the last bunch of years, and just have the 'keepers'. ( I will go and have a rake through my vinly from days of yore and will be sure to come back and embarass the hell outta myself ) ....but i did want to say , because of Julia's mention about Neil Diamond: back in my art school days in Vancouver, I had a friend Dan Dittrich, who had a punk covers band, but they didn't do punk covers, they only covered Neil Diamond songs- punk style!! really good!

sidetrack
Julia...ever heard 'Julia Dream' by Pink Floyd? lovely song

Skot, never heard that song, but of course, I've heard John Lennon's "Julia" a million times and of course, people have sung it to me which prompts a quick eye-roll response from me :)

ok, I was going to blow off today's question and answer that I don't have any embarrassing music, because I'm not a pack rat or a collector, so if there's something I'm not using or listening to regularly, it gets tossed pretty fast. Plus, I like lots of different music, so what embarrasses you may be something I love. But just for the hell of it, I took a look, and found.....
Styx - Pieces of Eight. LMAO! Where the hell did that come from?

The Models belong toThe Ministry of Silly Walks.

I do know the answer to that model walk. It's odd in a way, because it's based on tradition: that of the "mannequins" moving like ballerinas to display the clothes. Blame it on the French. There's something else too, the clothes aren't designed for "real women". They are mostly designed by men with an ideal in their minds, and the fashions shows are designed along those same lines. (think Elton John here) Those clothes they have to wear are very uncomfortable at times, and they are all pinned up in them, trying to hide the pins. :P

Okay, I haven't looked at my record collection even, off the top of my head I'd say a "Pinky and Perky" album. But I had that since I was a toddler; so I'll go look at my records too, and see what's hiding in there. I've done the same as Scott though. Sold the never played CDs and LPs when I moved back to UK.

Lisa!
Pinky and Perky
ohlee chit! thaaat takes me back in time a long way as well
too funny..

well I have flushed my vinyl as well so i'm outta this game..
can i buy a vowel?

models, they have no hips, thats what the body looks like when the bones are rattlin' back and forth , one foot in front of the other.....that's my evaluation
:p

Here's a petition to have a stage at Glastonbury named after John Peel: http://www.petitiononline.com/johnpeel/petition.html

Not embarrassing, but certainly questionable - Aleister Crowley on cd - recorded from wax cylinder circa 1910 or something like that. Mwahahaha. Who am I kidding, I've only played it once or twice & it scared the crap outa me. lol. Embarrassing? Best of Cinderella, probably.

Rock & Republic, huh? I'm jealous! They make the best stretchy jeans.

Skot, have you heard Richard Cheese? He does rock music lounge style... quite funny.

As for models... yeah, I think they look like skeletons. I think women look much better with some meat on them.

Well now I'm also not a packrat and have no vinyl left but in the vinyl days can anyone say Bay City Rollers. rofl come on now, I was a 13 year old and who else would I worship.

But as far as now, my musical tastes are varied, everything from rock to swing to opera to classical, etc. But I went through and here are a few that even I question now:

Mariah Carey (eek)
Celine Dion (eek again)
Sheena Easton (another eek)
Amy Grant (eh)

Anyhoo, that's about it from me! Have fun at whatever you all are doing. ;)

tommy james and the shondells, the entire partridge family catalogue, the association, the bay city rollers, the ventures, the three musketeers soundtrack, take that. . .yeah, i've got some bad music. ;)

i guess the thing with the model walk is that it's larger than life and completely overexaggerated, just like the rest of the fashion industry. not that there's anything wrong with that. . .

Yeah, I have to echo Linda and Tina above and say that though some may cringe at what I have in the way of vinyl (still sitting pretty on their shelves collecting dust), there's probably a reason I bought some of these more questionable albums...perhaps for one certain song that was never released as a 45 (dating myself much?).

But that 'Coconut Telegraph' Jimmy Buffet album over there? I have absolutely. no. idea. why I have that. Apologies to the Parrot Heads of the world, but Jimmy Buffet? Eeeep!

hey zanabee

Q: now why wouldn't Richard Cheese have called himself Dick......
A: because 9 out 10 of marketing stratesgist's chose Richard as their #1 choice, haha wink wink

btw- havent heard of him, but now i will hunt him down and hear him somehow, somewhere

I'm actually tempted to get Richard Cheese's "Lounge Against The Machine" album after hearing his rendition og "Guerilla Radio" ... hilarious, but the novelty would likely ware off quickly.

I can't remember the name of it now, but I did pick up a Japanese minimalist-stroke-avantegarde album, which is pretty unlistenable. A plumb floating in a perfume filled bowler hat type of album. Or something. Beatniks would love it.

Billy~Thanks so much for using the logo I did on your post yesterday. I was well chuffed. :D

Speaking of the skeleton body. I used to have that myself, and it was just naturally like that. I'd eat tons, and still stay like a skeleton, and I didn't have an eating disorder either.
In the UK my nickname was "Lanky Legs" :D

I was on the soccer team in high school, and at the end of season dinner once the coach gave me one of those big paper Halloween skeletons, and said, "This is what every model wants to look like" :S I think I was supposed to laugh.

Now I'm older it's completely changed though, and feels odd to me. Anyway, I think I am making a point, but where is it? :P

Tina~EEK is right. :D Lmao.
I still adore you though!

But wondering, and this is a real question. How can anyone listen to Celine Dion's voice? It's so shrill. It's unbearable to me.
She may be technically a good singer, but I just can't take her voice. It's physically painful to me. Wonder if that is just me?

Alchemy~I have added my name to your petition.
RIP John Peel.

hey lisa, the only 2 celine cd's i have are two of her first, before she became as famous as she is now. She was a bit more bearable then. ;)

I have to say this before I go to sleep...but Acacia- there is NOTHING wrong with Tommy James and the Shondells! I think they are great! Also--I think that models walk that way to see if they can trip themselves...welp, off to sleep (I hope...if I don't sneeze too much..)

Lisa~Thanks for explaining that. Love Lisa xxxx :D

Okay, I'm going to say it straight out. The clothes are mostly designed by gay men. Now take that a step further....

lol, julia, i love tommy james and the shondells. i personally don't think there's anything wrong with them, but other people seem to think differently. and for the record, i love most of those embarrassing albums i rattled off. ;)

The Bay City Rollers now that's old skool S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y Night, believe it or not that's the only line from that song I can remember...
Okay here goes I'm not embarressed to say that I own around fourty or so "Hootie and The Blowfish" cds. (that's just about every single and bootleg that I could find)

Oh, I have some REALLY embarrassing ones in my collection. I went through this phase when I was about 18 or 19 where I was really into the club music. What was I thinking? I went from listening to Crue to listening to Salt n Pepa...LMAO! It didn't last long. Of course with my pack-rat tendencies, I still have them. Anyone looking for a copy of Dance Mix '94?

My hubby likes to tease me over the fact that I listened to all those 80's hair bands. But come on, who didn't LOVE Poison in 1987? (or maybe even still now...lol) I still have their cd's somewhere too...

Celine Dion though? Oh gawd!! She's the only real thorn in my Canadian side. SHE'S EMBARRASSING.

Oh GAWD!!! I've got some bad ones....some worse than others...anyone remember "Frente"??? lol! hmmm....what else....I have some others I guess, but not necessarily embarrased by them because i listen to them...(is that worse?? ...should I be embarrased??? ...probably!)

Oh crap..
I think at one time or another I have owned a bit of everything already mentioned. Minus the Celine Dion and club music stuff.
Linda..Pieces of Eight..lol.. yeah.. weren't all kids in the U.S issued that album in Junior High, I think it came with the required ownership of Frampton Comes Alive..
Bay City Rollers..what ever happened to them?.. oh shit.. there's the next episode of Bands Reunited :O

The worst cd i will admit to owning will be ICP Great Melinko... there was a phase in my life where i needed wierd acceptance and i found a few guys who were Jugallos and like me. I soon found out that this was retarded and went back to listening to good music and knowing i was ok by myself

Pony

...ok this just in...

*******ABBY WINS*******

...and the winner is....not one, not two, but THREE DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince!!!

Yes I'm serious....I thought I'd look to see if there was anything in there that was worse than others...oh yes, I have them! The fact that I was aproximately 9 yrs old (and 2 were gifts...which I obviously kept!)when I got them should give me at lteast a little leniency ......right???

There were 2 songs that I wanted, and they were on 2 different albums...so I ended up with 3....plus I was trying to impress a boy! LOL (it didn't work...)

Ummm..can I just clarify...I don't OWN any Celine Dion cd's, nor have I EVER owned any. LOL

She's only the thorn in my side cos I'm embarrassed for Canada...lol

I was in Vegas last year and these people were in front of me walking past Caesar's Palace. They started slagging Canada and I was about to slap them until I realised that it was because of Celine Dion. LOL All I could do was laugh in understanding.

I can honestly say, I've never owned ANYTHING by Celine D. Someone's protecting me from above. However, I am in the possession of a Marilyn LP (he was Boy Georges' friend a long time ago - a Trany who dressed up like...you guessed it...Marily Monroe. It was a PR gift...it's really, REALLY bad, but I can't part with it!!!

owner of all possible and impossible Beach boys albums and I think I still have Disneys the jungle book soundtrack hidden somewhere among others, can still sing along with all the songs in german and english, wanna hear?

...and the winner is....not one, not two, but THREE DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince!!! QUOTE

Abby!!!! Haha, you got me beat, all I have is the greatest hits, but I will say I have Will Smith's Willenium....and probably the cheesiest I own would be the soundtrack for Free to be...you and me....

Billy, first time poster here, long time lurker....I love your sense of humor!!

Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

Firts album i ever had - cut me some slack, i was like, 6 when i got it :P

Pony - OMG I totally forgot that I had ICP CD's. I don't just have the Great Milenko though, I also have Carnival of Carnage, Riddlebox and The Ringmaster. There was a time when I found them to be funny.

Actually, I still think some of it is funny, I do have a morbid sense of humor... but some of it is also a little too over the top.

OH OH OH I also just remembered that I have a Cheap Trick album, Live at Budokan.

OH OH OH AGAIN and Flamingheart, I think that I was the only person in the world in the 80's who hated hair bands. UGH. I HATED it.

Billy-Going way back the first record I ever listened too was Kiss Alive II. I was a little kid and I was completly scared of them! I still have the record! I have also a way old Police record-Long live Andy Summer's.

B

zannebee, there ain't nothing wrong with cheap trick's live at boudukan, which i also own. ofcourse, i am a pretty big cheap trick fan. . .

but i'm beginning to wonder if i still have that mariah carey album i got when i was 7-ish. i bet it's around here somewhere.

okay, well, i'm out of this one. checked my records, and none embarrassed me. not even a nanosecond of embarrassment.
some are damn cool original singles too~Georgie Fame, Billy Preston, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles (from the 60's), Elvis Presley (60s), The Rolling Stones (when they were still doing covers), The Shadows...

Yeah! The Rogue's Gallery is getting more rogues! Nice Lastwave, and Boheny! :D

BAYHENY! :D
sorry. :S
that's a great pic. btw.

great picture !!!

Billy, forgive me, but all this talk of embarrassing records, I've suddenly got that song in my head that goes.."Billy don't be a hero.."
HELP!!!!

Anyone else now have a silly song stuck in their head?
begone ye silly song!
