I think most of my embarassing ones are on LP or cassette!

Natalie Imbruglia-Left of the Middle.:o

Tom Dunne

Supertramp's Greatest Hits, with my personal favourite - a song about one night stands, Goodbye Stranger.

Nightwish

Nothing I own embarrasses me. All the music I own represents a part of my life and reminds me of certain times and places, no matter how awful I may find the music now.

I strongly agree with you there.I have to laugh at my first ever CD i bought though 2Unlimited.....techno techno techno techno.Still makes me wince.

My first tape was Now 12 or Micheal Jackson BAD.

You're brave, especially with that collection of Daniel O' Donnell cds.;)

Nightwish

For me my first album was a Kylie Minogue tape bought for me in 1987. I dont like it but I'm not ashamed of it.

BlitzKrieg

I've only bought two cds in my entire life...so i have no embarresing cds.

But there is one embarresment...

The computer I own use to be shared among my family, but because i paid for it i got to take it with me to college, now i use it as an alarm clock (among other things) and i have it setup that it chooses a random song from all the music in my computer to play in the morning to get me up.

one morning a couple of months into term 'bye bye bye' by Nsync comes on, blasting at full volume. I jump out of bed quickly to turn it off, but the damage was done. When i went out into the hall all the other doors were open and everyone was staring at me. Turns out my sister (despite having her own laptop) had left some of her music on the computer while it was at home, this included some Nsync...which i have since hunted down and deleted from my harddrive.

Mrs. MacGyver

I bought BoyZones first single after i saw them on the Late late Show. I wince now at the thought of it, but i still hum along to the song when its on the radio (larry gogans golden hour)

carbonkid

Most embasrassing CD i bought has to be the kylie minogue greatest hits when she was doin her indie stuff...in my defense it was like 5e and only got it for the duet she did with nick cave!

AnitaMcCluskey

I have Dolly Parton................ oh and I did get the crazy frog ringtone.

Wish I'd gone unregistered for that........

Are you for real Nightwish? No offence love but thats a load of poo.

Thats like Pighead saying:

"Back in 92 I woke up, left the house whilst completely forgetting to put on my trousers, I was wearing my Barbie loves Ken Y-Fronts and worst of all the product of my Wet Dream involving Debbie Gibson and Richard Marx were trickling down my leg.

I wasn't embarrased though as all the stupid things I've done represent a part of my life and reminds me of certain times and places."

Come on Nightwish embarrasment is cool. Embrace it.

Plug

I got an iron amiden cd, t'was good.

Nightwish

The crap I own are Scooter albums from 1995, Kylie Minogue from 1987, and Linkin Park and Offspring from late 90's. I aint ashamed of them. I just dont like them.

LadyJ

So what if you were dancing in Fibbers and the coolest most hansdsomest man in the place started dancing with you and chose you to be his love conquest for that particular night.

Are you saying that when you took him home you would not be embarrassed to see him picking up your scooter album with a look of astonishment on his face. ? Of course you would. You'd quickly pretend you're younger brother owned it and say something like "I don't even know what scooter is babes, honest"

I am going out with the coolest most handsomest guy in the world and he has seen the full extent of my cd collection. He cannot say anything as his is worse. He owns 700+ LP's and some of those are really really dodgy.

ONLY A RECORD???? What the hells wrong with you kids. Have you lost the ability to get embarrassed? Have you become so cool and apathetic that you don't even bother going red or feeling stupid nowadays? My God the pranksters in schools around the country must be pulling their hair out.

Jimmy: Alright Johnny whats the crack, why the long face?

Johnny: Ah Jimmy I'm fcuking pissed off, today when class was just about to start I got Padi89 in a headlock and stapled a pair of my sisters used frilly knickers to his head and proceeded to play a video I recorded which showed him masturbating furiously to a picture of this chick called Beruthial he knows from some message board. What did he do? He fcuking shrugged his head and said, "They're only frilly knickers,and thats only a video" I'm retiring from this pranking business. Its just too fcuking hard.

Right - what is wrong with the Bee Gees? And why are you embarassed??:D
I have everything from the Rolling Stones to Sinatra,Barry Manilow AND Celine Dion, JJ CAle and RHCP.Donna Summer and Eric Clapton.
Never ever justify your taste in music - it is such a personal thing.
I remember loving Abba from when they won Eurovision,(yes I am old) and got a lot of stick from people over the years when I played their music LOUD when it hadn't yet become cool to like them again.
Sod it, I like what I like!!!

BlitzKrieg

i saw them live when i was little kid...was disapointed when they brought boyzone on with them... (well the lead singer guy who's name i have forgotten)

Tar.Aldarion

limited edition spice girls thing for some reason, called step to me...
EDIT: i didn't see the buy part, I just own it!
oh and the liking it bit, I didn't, damn I didn't read this thread at all. :P

Faith

Speaking of, mine are Steps' first 2 albums. Oh the shame. Mind you, they did a good version of "Tragedy"...

emeraldstar

on CD: i bought the Big Brother theme...yikes!!
Also the Titanic soundtrack. I also got Five's first album, which was ok at the time but now........

Lust4Life

LOL! CSG, I must agree with that one! I didn't expect to like that one either, but I really do!

Also, James Brown's Greatest hits. Picked it up on a long trip for something different to listen to and laughed all the way! Then it got stuck in my head...
"Papa Don't take No Mess!"
It grows on you!!

JC 2K3

Nickelback - Silver Side Up

*shudder

In fairness I didn't actually buy it, I "aquired" it. Back in the olden days we had to borrow our friend's CDs and rip them, no broadband or bittorrent to download whole albums with. And I had to encode the mp3s at a shocking 64KB/s to save space on my 128MB flash player.

Man, we had it hard back then!

What's wrong with James Brown? No shame in liking the Godfather of Soul... One of the most influential artists ever....

Kung Pow. A DVD and not CD. It was made intentionally to be the utimate in cheesy, bad taste, and profane. But I just love the fight between The Chosen One and the Jersey cow!:D

susanna

I have loads of embarassing CDs.. Boyzone, Take That, Spice Girls, Five, thankfully my taste has improved a bit since then

dbnavan

I have owned some dodgy music in the past......

1) Bros Album
2) Dublin Town, by Damien Dempsey
3) Bosco's greatest hit (Relax I was 5, was a record to!)

......ok maybe I will stop now.

Sleepy

I can only think of one embaressing CD in my collection that I genuinely like: Roxette's Greatest Hits. I know, I know, it's a crime against cool but I still like some of their ballads...

Erm, just remembered I also have the Dirty Dancing soundtrack and quite like a few of the songs on it too.

There are, of course, some seriously dodgy CD's in my collection that I never listen to and don't like any more but that's for another thread.

cupthehand

around 1993 I think it was called Jungle Massive, it was a classic all the big jungle tunes of the day *shudder*
