Everyone has them: CDs you bought that embarass you when you look back on them.
I'll go first: I have two Linkin Park CDs. In my defense, I was 14 and was having emotional problems. I just haven't gotten around to getting rid of them in 3 years.
-
I didn't purchase it, but I am embarrassed for liking Evanescence. (I probably would have bought it if I, you know, had money)
-
My very first CD purchase was "Americana" by The Offspring when I was fourteen (A very common exuse) and well, how was I suppose to know there were better things? My younger self would surely have hated Birchville Cat Motel or Skullflower anyway. I also had a huge collection of Greenday CDs which I sold a long time ago. I've kept the Offspring disk simply because it was my first. What's there to be embarrassed about? I don't see any point in guilt for my musical past.
-
I'm not really embarrassed by any of my musical purchases. I liked them when I bought them, and then my tastes changed, so now I don't have them anymore. Is that so bad?
And I say that having owned Insane Clown Posse's "Amazing Jeckel Brothers" back in 1999.
I mean, my music is only embarrassing when I still own it and it contradicts a musical image I have for myself. Like, say, the Yellowcard album I have that doesn't exactly match all the indie stuff I have. But I figure, if I can't deal with the fact that not all my music is "cool," then why bother listening at all?
-
What the hell guys? You're all way behind the times.
I got that kind of crap when I was twelve. By the time I was 14 I was listening to Dead Kennedys, Rancid, Sex Pistols and NOFX. Some might argue that's just as bad but they don't know how much fun NOFX is.
I'm 18 now by the way so I suspect we're about the same age.
Current embarrasing CDs? NONE! We have a record store in Auckland that buys second hand CDs for a decent price so the bad ones are all long gone. Yussssssssssssss.
-
i bought a Judas Priest album in 1983.
i still haven't lived that down.
-
I had a Good Charlotte and a Linkin Park album in 2001/2, in my defense I was 11/12 and very confused. I still feel the shame.
-
I bought Avril Lavigne's debut CD. I think I was 13 or 14 at the time. She was just so COOL and PUNK RAWK.
Nearly 5 years later I still have it just because it's such a nice little addition to my CD collection. I love the looks on people's faces when they browse. Kind of like a booby-trap.
"At The Drive-In, The Arcade Fire... AVRIL?!"
@Rizzo: Man, I was a single child whose dad was obcessed with the Beatles and ONLY the Beatles and my mom listened to.. Enya, and Shania Twain, and I think that's it. I did not have cool parents or friends who could introduce me to good music at an early age, I had to discover that stuff on my own.
And it was TOUGH.
-
"At The Drive-In, The Arcade Fire... AVRIL?!"
Glad to see I'm not the only one who puts my C.D.s in alphabetical order!
Fortunately, all my cringingly awful musical taste occurred when I was a young 'un, and buying cassettes instead of C.D.s was a viable option. Hence, the Phil Collins stuff is sitting in a drawer somewhere at my parents' house, far far away from my precious (and awesome) C.D. collection.
. . . Damn, that reminds me - next time I'm back home I really need to find my tape of the K.L.F.'s White Room. That is one seriously cool album.
-
Steps I bought Steps enough said.
-
"At The Drive-In, The Arcade Fire... AVRIL?!"
Glad to see I'm not the only one who puts my C.D.s in alphabetical order!
But I hope you DO put ARcade fire before AT the drive in...well, i hope you have neither but just in case..
Anyway, my embarassements. Bon jovi's slippery when wet when i was 12, haven't played that one in years obviously. The lost prophets cd last year, i liked burn burn a lot so i bought it. It now is in Austria with a friend who does like em. The cd was utter crap though. And i have spice world by the spice girls. Bought that this year because the spice girls were fun! I don't really regret buying that one...And from what i read above I guess i'd see Offspring - Smash as a mistake too but even though the lyrics annoy the hell out of me i can still enjoy that one and I don't give a fuck that they're sell-outs, that cd was good :).
-
Urgh, I've had my fair share of bad album purchasings. For instance, PJ and Duncan - Psyche! and even *shudder* 5ive. Not all pop malarchy though. Hoobastank's 'Crawling In The Dark' single and Limp Bizkit's 'Rollin'' singles were both dreadful purchases.
-
Metallica - Load
Korn - Korn
Deftones - Around The Fur
The Kovenant - Animatronic
Cradle of Filth - Damnation And A Day
-
When I was 9, 13 years ago, I bought a Vanilla Ice LIVE CD.
-
ha! Vengaboys album! no explanation is able, no excuse available and no apology sufficient.
-
I've never actually bought a CD that I'm embarrassed about. I didn't have money when I listened to crappy music.
-
I have both Linkin Park studio albums, Reanimation and Live In Texas.
Embarassing? Yes. But I don't give a carp, they're great pop records.
-
The Kovenant - Animatronic
Cradle of Filth - Damnation And A Day
god damn you, lex icon.
-
But I hope you DO put ARcade fire before AT the drive in...well, i hope you have neither but just in case..
Whoa hey what is wrong with my taste in music, I happen to think it is pretty swell.
-
well... i bought "americana" too back in the day and i even bought "conspiracy of one", but i'm more ashamed to admit that i bought "crush" by bon jovi when it came out ....
... and yes, i bought other cds by the offspring too, but their first albums ARE good. :P
-
But I hope you DO put ARcade fire before AT the drive in...well, i hope you have neither but just in case..
Whoa hey what is wrong with my taste in music, I happen to think it is pretty swell.
Nothing wrong with it. But one day a guy on a forum was telling me how superb the arcade fire was and that their album soon will be named a classic like nevermind or ok computer while I find the arcade fire a bit..ehm..unspecial. After all the Franz Ferdinands and Killers and Kaiser Chiefs I want something more 'raw'. So even though I don't really dislike the arcade fire I keep on slagging them. (heh, by chance i went to some site where they had music by a band called 'the vacation' writing that they were Billy Idolish and that live the singer acted like an Iggy Stooge/Mick Jagger amalgam. so i wrote to that guy who loved the arcade fire that I was looking for something more like that if only they didn't have that billy idol influence. I downloaded their tracks anyway and I love them to bits now..)
And while you think at the drive in would be my music it somehow annoys me anyway.
And Avril..well..you're right to put her in this topic. But all in all i have no real problems with your taste in music.
-
Korn: Issues
Creed: My Own Prison (or whatever album had that song... album was bought /for/ that song)
Yeah... not proud of those two.
I do, however, own the first Audioslave album, and I'm certain my roommate would insist that I be ashamed of owning it, but it is actually one of my favourite CDs... and I fully intend to buy their most recent album too. Chris Cornell + Rage Against The Machine = The Win.
-
When I was 9, 13 years ago, I bought a Vanilla Ice LIVE CD.
That's golden. But I think we can forgive you since your sexy avatar makes up for it. Mmmm, Hellsing.
Yah, I own several Sum 41 album, Blink 182's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and O-Town's cd. I don't know where that last one went. Oh, how it rocked being 14....well, not musically, but I think you all know what I mean.
-
After all the Franz Ferdinands and Killers and Kaiser Chiefs I want something more 'raw'. So even though I don't really dislike the arcade fire I keep on slagging them.
The Arcade Fire are not really anything like Franz Ferdiand or Killers or Kaiser Chiefs, but lets not start with this argument.
On topic: I'm not embarrassed by anything in my collection, because even though I may not listen to some stuff in there much any more, it was all still a part of my musical growth and experience. If I enjoyed an album once, I'll hold onto it. The only CDs I ever sell are the ones I never listened to enough to get attached to.
Having said that, MC Hammer and Ace of Base are a couple of early music endeavours that are pretty amusing to me now.
-
when i was 15 i bought some Eurythmics record that had just come out at the time
-
transplants - s/t
to this day, i do not know why.
-

there is no argument. I agree that it's quite different, but just like all those Brits (yeah, killers are american, i know) they're all quite 'safe'. Not coldplayesque, but lacking chaos anyway. And I mean you can write 'some say you're a troubled boy, just because you like to destroy all the things that bring the idiots you, but what's wrong with a little destruction?' but make it sound that way too please..
Sideways: Audioslave is cool..though the second album only has man or animal as killer. And despite the appearance of Like a Stone the first album isn't as good as superunknown (in my opinion) and perhaps not even as good as the self titled by rage..
Dara: What's wrong with the Eurythmics? (okay, I admit, everything ambiquous (apart from boy george) gets my thumbs up but still, I don't see what's so wrong with them)
-
I would say that you don't really get any safer than Audioslave.
I disagree entirely with your appraisal of the Arcade Fire, but as I say, I don't want to argue about it. Too many people have preconceived ideas about them and it will just spark a stupid flame war.
-
Jesus I must like EVERYTHING EVER, because I own a bunch of the stuff mentioned in this thread and still like some of it. The only two records I have that I've segregated from my collection for fear of contamination are Significant Other by Limp Bizkit and Human Clay by Creed.
I've also owned the soundtrack from Cocktail no less than three times, as well as the first MC Hammer album.
And I've got some Dexy's Midnight Runners, some Gordon Lightfoot, and a couple pop-emo CDs like the Used and Thursday and the Coheeds, but I actually like all that and don't really care if people are upset by that. And if you don't like Dexy's you're just inhuman.
-
That's golden. But I think we can forgive you since your sexy avatar makes up for it. Mmmm, Hellsing.
I should use my old Hellsing gif avatar with the internet speak
"OLOL U DIE!"
"WTF!?"
"OLOL I SI IMMORTAL N00B"
etc.
Anyway, I own a Funeral For a Friend CD ( I think it's 'Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation'. It was bought for me by a friend, politely accepted and never listened to) Korn-Korn which I bought about 4 years ago because I'd heard and liked 'Blind', and listened to once, because all the other songs were like shitter clones of it, and Nirvana-Nevermind, which I bought about a year and a half ago because it was hyped as great and on a ridiculously low-priced special offer, and because I'd never actually heard any Nirvana except for Lithium being covered by a local band and the snatch of Smells Like Teen Spirit on the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge! (Not knowing what it was). Haven't been able to sit through the whole thing ever. So. Fucking. Boring.
Everything else I'm not sorry about. My shit music phase was pretty mild, and I've never really bought that many CD's.
-
A friend convinced me to buy "Dookie". I already have "American Idiot" and like it.
-
Possibly.... the best of Sting. and the Best of Phil Collins.
I got it purely for "You can't huirry love", honest guv'nor!
-
Lesse...
Creed album with "My Sacrifice" (the album was bought for the other single)
Britney Spears' early records.
Backstreet Boys, the first two.
Should I be ashamed of Matchbox 20? The seocnd album just isn't good, but the first was decent.
I think that's all I'm actually ashamed of. Well, maybe the Enya a little bit, but I like her.
-
Back when I was 10/11 I bought an N*SYNC album, and some current pop compilations. I've regretted the decision to do that so much ever since I discovered decent music.
-
All the obvious choices. Creed, Limp Bizkit, you name it.
When I was 9, 13 years ago, I bought a Vanilla Ice LIVE CD.
If it features the song he did for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack ("Ninja Rap"), then you have no reason to be ashamed.
Actually, there would be just such an overabundance of irony connected with owning that CD that you really should feel no shame whatsoever as long as people don't realise you bought it when it came out.
-
I have Limp Bizkit - Significant Other, Blink 182 - Enema of the State, and Evanescence - Fallen. Beyond that, I'm not really perturbed by my CD collection - which reflects my musical tastes before I discovered p2p in 2000 or so. Plus I think they're balanced by CDs like Down On The Upside, L.A. Woman, and The Presidents Of The United States Of America. :)
-
@Rizzo: Man, I was a single child whose dad was obcessed with the Beatles and ONLY the Beatles and my mom listened to.. Enya, and Shania Twain, and I think that's it. I did not have cool parents or friends who could introduce me to good music at an early age, I had to discover that stuff on my own.
And it was TOUGH.
That's no excuse, I'm exactly the same!
I discovered most of my favourites myself.

(http://www.users.on.net/~barkerfamily/ronjeremy.jpg)
... Sorry, couldn't resist.
-
...like Thursday and the Coheeds, but I actually like all that and don't really care if people are upset by that.
MARRY ME.
-
Urgh, I've had my fair share of bad album purchasings. For instance, PJ and Duncan - Psyche!
I wish I owned that, preferably on vinyl so I could DJ with it. Nothing gets a party going like PJ and Duncan.
-
I have two Beach Boys CD's... And a New kids on the block cd...
/me ducks from the thrown records/
-
Blink 182 - Enema of the State
Great record.
-
I have two Beach Boys CD's...
Is this some sort of sick joke?
I'm embarrased by the fact I used to not like them.
-

I'm embarassed on his behalf because he's embarassed by that...
-
I defend him.
Good man for your embarrasment. Fuck, I hate 'Good Vibrations'.
-
Yes, but you don't like fun unless it involves fiddles or pillaging.
Edit: Or both.
-
I like california girls... I am going to diae today I know it...
-
Weezer....'nuff said
-
Yes, but you don't like fun unless it involves fiddles or pillaging.
Edit: Or both.
Yeah Khar, I mean, you can dislike them (hell, I hate the them too) or Nirvana but that doesn't mean that people'd be embarrased because they have em because both are quite accepted by people who like alternative music..
EDIT: I didn't read the opening post. Thought it was music about which you 'should' be embarrased instead of which you ARE embarrased about.
-
Willem, did you know that Iggy Pop did a song with At the Drive-in?
-
Weezer....'nuff said
Effyew! Weezer are great.
-
I have everyone beat. Kenny G, I listened to Kenny G. Even saw him in concert. Jesus I was lame.
-
He even did songs with sum 41 actually. That doesn't make them any better. Trent reznor did a song with bowie, that doesn't mean nin is suddenly good (from my perspective anyway. I dislike nin) Dave Grohl wants to work with Joss Stone..her music's still shit...
-
I have two Beach Boys CD's... And a New kids on the block cd.../
my friend and i found new kids videos... hanging tough, live.
"los angeles, i don't think you're tough enough"
... we learned all the dances. this was like, a month ago. i am not ashamed.
and when i was really young i liked boy bands and everything, but i don't even count that. those were out of my cd collection a long time ago.
and yeah, i do own a thursday cd, maybe that's my most embarrassing. but i seem to be more embarrassed by my classic rock phase. don't worry, i never liked the stones. i was just a bit too in love with jimmy page and bob dylan.
-
I still have Creed, N sync, and B witched...
-
POD - Satellite
'Nuff said.
-
Hey, hey.
I am amenable to ravaging and tin whistles.
-
I have everyone beat. Kenny G, I listened to Kenny G. Even saw him in concert. Jesus I was lame.
Oh yeah, speaking of Jesus: my first concert was Audio Adrenaline. The Christian rock band. Not even kidding, I was in my born-again Christian phase and they were almost a rock band. To this day I tell people my second concert was my first (Mighty Mighty Bosstones, probably lose indie cred points for that as well but I <3 ska).
I mean, Kenny G still beats that, but AA is pretty awful.
-
Ever listen to Newsboys? I have a greatest hits album by them that I actually still listen to once in a while. I think they're much better than Audio Adrenaline, if you're considering the field of christian rock.
-
Thanks Luke, but I tried most of the mid-90s Christian rock scene already. I liked AA a little better than Newsboys, if I remember right, but ultimately I ended up at the Tooth & Nail catalog and that ended up leading me out of Christian music for the most part. Living Sacrifice and Zao somehow got me listening to Slayer and Amon Amarth.
-
That Limp Bizkit CD....
Plus that new Beastie Boys CD..... Liscense to Ill was a lot more fun...
-
Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head are where it's at.
Also, @ anyone who ever bought Creed or Limp Bizkit: haha you sux0rz!
-
Some purchases that I'm ashamed of?
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dreams. Seriously.
Mindless Self Indulgence, but I only bought one of those because a friend said it was amazing. He is not really nearly as good of a friend.
But aside from that, I'm really not ashamed of my music at all. I somehow skipped the whole "Shitty teenage music" phase of my life, bought a Primus album, and then proceeded to move towards music that didn't suck.
-
Funny Ron Jeremy pic
... Sorry, couldn't resist.
Of course my indie penis is bigger!!! It's huge! :P
-
If it features the song he did for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack ("Ninja Rap"), then you have no reason to be ashamed.
Actually, there would be just such an overabundance of irony connected with owning that CD that you really should feel no shame whatsoever as long as people don't realise you bought it when it came out.
Hehe... yeah the Ninja Rap song was pretty sweet. Go ninja go ninja go!
-
Trent reznor did a song with bowie, that doesn't mean nin is suddenly good (from my perspective anyway. I dislike nin) Dave Grohl wants to work with Joss Stone..her music's still shit...
But Trent has worked with Bowie, Dave Grohl, and Dr. Dre. Doesn't that do anything to build him up in your mind?
-
lets see....
When I was about 10 I owned
N*sync - no strings attached
The first Britney Spears and Christian Agulara c.ds
in my defense they were christmas gifts from my grandmother but, that still doesn't excuse me from listening to them constantly and knowing all the words to every song on those cds. XD
most recent embaressment was 3 years ago when i was fourteen and I bought Korn-issues for $7 at a second hand store *shudder*
-
when i was very young, BAHA MEN.
THERE. WHAT NOW.
-

GOOD CHARLOTTE
I definitely win.. er, lose. But I was twelve. I make up for this discovering the Violent Femmes at age 14.
-
Careful, don't speak their name! You'll revive them from their explosive deaths, and we'll have to call Johnny C back in to kill them again!
-
Daft Club.
Whoops.
-

But Trent has worked with Bowie, Dave Grohl, and Dr. Dre. Doesn't that do anything to build him up in your mind?
no (especially not dr dre actually. screw everything he did after nwa (as far as i've heard it anyway)
Good artists (in my opinion) don't lose credit by working with bad artists (e.g. Dave Grohl, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, John Cale)
Bad artsists (in my opinion) don't gain credit by working with good artists (e.g. sum 41, dr. dre, pharell, Trent Reznor)
-
Trent *did* work with Luke Vibert. Which has to be worth something, in some existential cosmic sort of way. The creators of "Pretty Head Machine" and "I Love Acid" combine to form...something really evil that will expand uncontrollably and eventually turn the enitrety of the earth into a single throbbing superorganism.
And that'll be hella cool when it happens.
-
My friend gave me an Evanesence CD, which I listen to when I need a laugh. It has a really bad acoustic Heart Shaped Box cover...
-
Daft Club.
Whoops.
Daft Club?
-
I still have a Hoobastank CD. The one with "Running Away" and "Crawling in the Dark" on it. Yeah. That'un.
And all other entries are child's play compared to the following. I had MORE THAN ONE N'Sync CD at the age of 13. So I win.
-
What the hell guys? You're all way behind the times.
I got that kind of crap when I was twelve. By the time I was 14 I was listening to Dead Kennedys, Rancid, Sex Pistols and NOFX. Some might argue that's just as bad but they don't know how much fun NOFX is.
I'm 18 now by the way so I suspect we're about the same age.
Current embarrasing CDs? NONE! We have a record store in Auckland that buys second hand CDs for a decent price so the bad ones are all long gone. Yussssssssssssss.
I don't care how "bad" NOFX is... 'She's Nubs' is an incredibly fun song.
-
On NOFX: anybody who writes a song that makes fun of stupid 12-year-old kids who are all like OMG LOLOLZ ANARCHY ("Murder the Government") can't be that bad. 'Cause I mean, if you're willing to give up that big a percentage of America's record buyers just to make fun of them, you're pretty cool in my book.
-
I think I can top you all.
Spice girls, and Backstreet Boys. Two Backstreet Boys albums.
In my defence I was seven.
Although I don''t remember it I'm told I cryed when my spice girls tape melted.
I sitll get payed out to this day.
I had a troubled (younger) youth.
-
I'm ashamed of everything I bought prior to march this year. Apart from the Bodyjar album when I was 12 I think.
-
My Aunt gave me the Sabrina The Teenaged Witch Soundtrack and one of those CDs with the various crappy pop songs (like NOW and such) when I was eleven.
I listened to one song on the Sabrina one over and over, but that's the only one I listened to at all. I only scanned the song list on the other CD.
I can't remember what song it was, but it was bad.
-
I think I can top you all.
Spice girls, and Backstreet Boys. Two Backstreet Boys albums.
Oh, I had Backstreet Boys too. And Ricky Martin. And the Dixie Chicks. GOD they suck.
-
No one should really feel ashamed for listening to "uncool" stuff when they were younger. I mean, how active were you in finding music? I wasn't active at all and just listened to the radio when I was in grade school (<3 MC Hammer, C&C Music Factory, Metallica, GnR, and MJ before the black or white single)
All this music made you who you are now and if you like who you are, the music you use to listen to shouldn't get you down or make you feel bad. heh, maybe I'm overthinking this topic.
oh yeah, you guys make me feel old lol
-
All this music made you who you are now and if you like who you are, the music you use to listen to shouldn't get you down or make you feel bad.
*round of applause*
-
As insightful as lofin's post was, it doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't be caught dead listening to that stuff anymore.
But my very first CD was Smashmouth's "AstroLounge," and I still have/love it to this day. I am not embarrassed about that CD in the least. Same deal with my second CD, the Offspring's "Americana."
-

Damn right.
I still listen to NOFX. I like the fact that they're willing to make fun of most of their fans too. Yay.
-
Limp Bizkit - Significant Other, Chocolate Starfish (although I lent the former to a friend like 4 years ago and haven't seen in since. Not that I want it back, but it the better of the 2 albums)
Len - You Can't Stop the Bum Rush
Joe - My Name Is Joe
Ja Rule - Rule 3:36
Sugar Ray - 14:59
Creed - Human Clay
American Pie 2 Soundtrack
some other stuff
-
He even did songs with sum 41 actually. That doesn't make them any better. Trent reznor did a song with bowie, that doesn't mean nin is suddenly good (from my perspective anyway. I dislike nin) Dave Grohl wants to work with Joss Stone..her music's still shit...
You don't have to get all defensive. I was just asking you if you knew. Sheesh.
-
Fall Out Boy
-
now THAT is embarrassing.
-
My taste in music is widely diverse and superb compared to anyone I know... I forgave myself eventually.
-
I didn't purchase it, but I am embarrassed for liking Evanescence. (I probably would have bought it if I, you know, had money)
Same except I did buy it. Although I bought Origin off eBay before they hit big, and not Fallen. I also have:
Disturbed - The Sickness
Disturbed - Believe
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
Godsmack - Godsmack
Godsmack - Awake
Godsmack - Faceless
Godsmack - The Other Side
KoRn - KoRn
KoRn - Untouchables
Orgy - Candyass
Orgy - Vapour Transmission
Although I'm not ashamed, because I fucking love those discs to death, so really, I shouldn't be posting it in this thread. Rapless nu-metal for teh win!
-
Once I got made fun of by random strangers for walking around with a Godsmack record, but I wasn't really bothered because it was actually a Sunny Day Real Estate record.
Also, embarrassing for different reasons: I bought the first Beck 7" and tape on eBay and paid exorbitantly because I was young and stupid and didn't have anything else to spend my money on. The tape ran me $250 and the 7" was $115. To add insult to injury, I bought the record from James Bertram (of 764-HERO) and only recognized him as a bass player on One Foot In the Grave. I suppose I can never show my face on the Internet in Washington again.
-
Spinless, I did the same thing. $20 for ISH instead of like $12 for Dookie and Warning.
Then again, at least I'm not the Green Day 'diehard fan' I met one day who said, with absolutely NO SHAME in his voice, that there were no such Green Day albums as Dookie and Warning.
He got yelled at when he was checking out, apparently he told the clerk that "some crazy guy was talking about these Green Day albums that don't exist" and the clerk was like, "RIGHT, I AM NOT SELLING YOU THIS NOR AM I SELLING YOU AMERICAN IDIOT."
-
Daft Club.
Whoops.
Daft Club?
Whoops????
That has some awesome Discovery remixes on it, I seen no need for shame
-
Fall Out Boy
That's nothing to be ashamed of; solid band.
-
I'm not embarrased by a single album I've bought.
Now, I do happen to own Amerie's Touch. But I won it, so that's fair.
-
I trump you all. I bought N*Sync's "Celebrity".
...when I was 18.
...which would be 3 months ago.
I was so embarrassed taking it up to the clerk at Sunrise that I buried it underneath Mogwai, Al Green, and the Decemberists. On the bright side, I got 3 kickass records and one guilty pleasure!
-
N*Sync... Backstreet Boys... Britney Spears... Christina Agulera... Spice Girls...
I owned 'em all. :(
-
Man, Celebrity has some solid, non-anonymous songs on them. Being catchy and individual is the most we can ask from a boy-band.
-
But my very first CD was Smashmouth's "AstroLounge," and I still have/love it to this day.
That was my first cd too, but I started hating "all star" after hearing it everywhere, so I decided no more Smashmouth.
-
N*Sync... Backstreet Boys... Britney Spears... Christina Agulera... Spice Girls...
I owned 'em all. :(
Good news - it's hip to listen to pop music now for some reason. Don't ask me why.
-
I still do not listen to "AllStar". I listen to "Waste" like a stoner stuck-in-the-70s rocker listens to "Stairway" though.
-
My Dad bought The Killlers' album. Does that count?
-
If that counts, well, most of my dad's music collection has me red-faced. Like his Mary McCaslin collection. *seppuku* Her cover of the Beatles' "Help!" makes the baby Jesus cry.

I think being embarrassed by your parents music is an entirely different topic. I mean, half of your musical taste as a teenager is accounted for by hating what your parents listen to.
Although my mom likes Sigur Rós, so she's probably indier than I am.
-
Wow your mom has such good taste. My parents mostly listen to crappy music. I grew up having to endure Celin Dion, Shania Twain, Silly "inspirational" christain artists, and the same Beach Boys Best Of album over and over again.
-
My mom has a Carpenters CD with a cover of Ticket to Ride on it. It's the song with every ounce of fun taken out of it. It makes me cry on the inside.
-
I've got some from some pretty terrible pop-"punk" (the quotes make it ironic) bands I liked when I was 15-16...like Fenix TX or New Found Glory.
I also have some mortifying /screamo discs, like Finch and AFI.
Oh goodness.
-
My Dad bought The Killlers' album. Does that count?
Shit, my friend's sister bought that album and I'm ashamed.

Poor you... except that AFI is good... and not screamo. Maybe you think they're not good but it still ain't embarrassing.
How about Slipknot? I only just managed to sell that shit.

Hoobastank. Enough said.
-
Matchbox Twentry's "More Than You Think You Are".
I got "Mad Season" as a gift, and there were enough songs I really liked to justify the purchase. I cans till listen to Mad Season. Not so much MTYTYA.
-
Sad to say... I do have that first Simple Plan CD stored away somewhere. And I do have the From Autumn to AShes CD "Fiction We Live." Haha...yes. It seems like yesterday when I rocked out hard to those.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory. Enough said.

A fantastic pop album. Enough said.

Sometihng I still bash my face into the wall over. Enough said.

We could carry on like this for hours. Enough said.

Enough said. Enough said. Before one of the mods freezes this thread.
There's Joe Diffie in this house for some reason.

Am I the only person who can't tell the difference between Fallout Boy, New Found Glory and (the relatively brand new) Son of Dork?
Son of Dork? Aren't they the new Busted?

SoD feature a member of Busted. But Busted are still like the Beatles compared to how shite SoD are.

I've never had the misfortune to actually hear a SoD song. I saw an interview with them on Popworld, though, they seemed lacking in intelligence.

Although I can't say I am embarassed about any CD's I own (and I own the Anastasia cartoon soundtrack) but I do own Cannibal Corpses Gallery of Suicide and I hate it. I despise them.
i still am not sure why I own it.
-
The amusingly gory cover art?
I could never get over the sheer fucking BLANDNESS of Cannibal Corpse. And don't start me on fucking Six Feet Under.
-
I remember buying it, getting home, opening it, putting it in the stereo and going.
Oh yeah, I fucking hate these guys.
And yet, because I refuse to NOT play any album I own, I will spin it once a year to remind me why I hate them, and then it will go back in its case and not come out for another year.
Ah well.
Unlike my friend I don't own a Nickelback cd though.
-
I bought System of a Down's "Toxicity" album like 2 days ago. It's supposed to be a really embarrassing album to buy, but after listening to it, it's really not that terrible. I hadn't heard any of the stuff on it until I got it, I actually really like it.
-
i don't feel embarassed by purchasing system of a down cds.
i will admit that i bought the killers though. *hangs head in shame*
-
You poor thing. *pets head*
-
I think I can top you all.
Spice girls, and Backstreet Boys. Two Backstreet Boys albums.
In my defence I was seven.
Although I don''t remember it I'm told I cryed when my spice girls tape melted.
I sitll get payed out to this day.
I had a troubled (younger) youth.
I have no shame for the Spice Girls. I still own and listen to my Spice Girls cassette tape.
On that same note I own and am slightly ashamed to say I still listen to, my very first CD, N*SYNC - s/t. I was ten when I got it. I don't admit it to people who don't know me well but I can admit it.
Of course you should feel all shame for the Backstreet Boys because N*SYNC was horrendously superior.
-
I'll second that.
...yes I do still have a penis, I just checked.
