What's the most embarrassing music in your collection?

[youthere]

Mine? Rockapella and Menudo.

[jpgray]

1. Klaatu and Chic

[mikeytherat]

2. Steve Perry, "Street Talk." Yes, the one with, "Oh, Sherry."

I honestly have NO idea how it ended up in my collection, but I suspect a former roommate (the one with many of my Hoodo Guru discs).

[BrotherBuzz]

3. Arthur Godfrey's Greatest Hits

[Burma Jones]

4. Bobby Goldsboro and Neil Diamond

[Sanity Claws]

15. We have a winner

When was the last time that you played either one?

[Burma Jones]

16. Only when I want to discipline the children......

so - yesterday.....

My 6 year old Daughter mocks Neil Diamond's hyper melodramatic delivery with great skill.....

[mvd]

54. Neil's actually quite talented

:hi:

[Phillycat]

5. Shakira and Slaughter.

I love both. :D

[youthere]

26. I like Shakira!

[mvd]

48. No shame in Shakira IMO

That "Hips Don't Lie" song is a bit of a guilty pleasure, though. A little cheesy, but good fun.

[taterguy]

6. A couple Flat Duo Jets CDs

[underpants]

7. LOVE the Flat Duo Jets

But I can't say that I have a CD. Thanks for the reminder-going to iTunes now.

[Phentex]

21. WHAT?

Whachu talkin' bout? We had their version of "You Belong to Me" played at our wedding reception. :)

[taterguy]

37. Sorry, I thought today was opposite day

Although the Flat Duo Jets CDs are slightly embarrassing since they were much better live than in the studio

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Probably Fall Out Boy.

Only downloaded though, never would I spend my money on such things.

[jpgray]

27. Change that to "certainly Fall Out Boy"

:P

But you're frogiven due to your general coolness.

[ghostsofgiants]

31. Hahaha, fair enough.

They're my ultimate guilty pleasure, what can I say?

[mainegreen]

9. One Ace of Base CD. Given to me.

Sadly, I kinda like it.

[OllieLotte]

20. Don't give me that "given to me" line.

[mainegreen]

22. I swear it's true! No one ever believes it though!

I admit I like it! Isn't that enough?!

:rofl:

[Radical Activist]

10. Soundtrack to The Last Days of Disco.

[redqueen]

11. Celine Dion's CD with that Titanic song on it.

:blush:

[mvd]

51. Not a Celine fan, but..

in small doses she is ok, and the Titanic soundtrack is relaxing.

[TimeChaser]

12. *Cough* Creed

[AlCzervik]

13. soundtrack from "shrek" i wanted one song only but it was only available

on that soundtrack.

[youthere]

28. I have that CD! I also have soundtracks for Chicken Little and Shaggy Dog!

[chknltl]

14. Pat Boone's in a Metal Mood

It has proven to be an embarrasment to Pat Boone but I treasure it nonetheless. The songs are wonderful and the cd is a great fun to play for those who hear it first time. Song selections include: Smoke on the Water; No More Mr. Nice Guy; Enter Sandman; Holy Diver; Paradise City; Crazy Train; You've Got Another Thing Comin'; It's a Long Way to The Top, (If You want to Rock and Roll); Love Hurts; The Wind Cries Mary; and Stairway To Heaven. Hearing these songs rewritten in Pat Boone's style, sung by himself and backed up by a very good orchestra is just pure fun!

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. The HeeHaw Gospel Quartet.

It's MrG's fault. He's not allowed to hold the remote anymore. :hi:

[sakabatou]

18. Vanessa Carlton

[mvd]

50. Me too

But feel no shame.

[azmouse]

19. Jimmy Buffett CD

[youthere]

30. I am an occasional parrothead myself.

[mvd]

55. I don't know if I can call myself a Parrothead, since I don't have..

enough of his work yet, but I think he's great.

[LynneSin]

23. I have an album by former Texas Governor candidate Kinky Friedman

I had purchased a package of albums and it happened to be in there. Not sure what to do with it

[fudge stripe cookays]

39. Burn it.

The fucker helped Rick Perry keep our governor's mansion. He's a big jerk.

[LaraMN]

24. Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, et al.

On cassette tape, of course. I still kinda' dig my old Cyndi Lauper tapes now and then, though.

[northzax]

36. I do have a great mp3 of Tiffany

the modern version, doing 'talk dirty to me.' good times.

[mvd]

49. I still have some Debbie CDs

She was one of my first big celeb crushes. I think Electric Youth has stood up as a good dance album, but the others I keep for nostalgia.

I remain a big Cyndi fan to this day, and think Tiffany had a nice comeback with The Color of Silence.

[underpants]

25. Material Issue

but I have to say it is the most POPPISH thing I have ever heard.

Someone gave me the Hootie CD "Cracked Rear Window"

[youthere]

29. Don't be dissin'Hootie!

[mvd]

56. I think I'm the only one who bought that CD and STILL likes

it a lot. LOL.

[underpants]

58. Great now I have "Valerie loves me" in my head

[Connonym]

32. I trump you all -- Milli Vanilli n/t

[youthere]

33. I had a friend who loved them...

She had a cassette of them that went EVERYWHERE with her and she just listened to it over and over.

[northzax]

34. you people are pathetic

I still own, although hidden in the back of a closet...a real, live, Led Zepplin Album!

[Taverner]

35. Monkee's "Head" Soundtrack

[fudge stripe cookays]

38. Ambrosia.

To be fair, I'm incredibly nostalgic, and it reminds me of when my dad was alive.

Everything else is farking cool. I swear it.

[itsmesgd]

40. please don't flame me, but I like Mandy Moore to mellow out occasionally

[mvd]

52. No flames at all

By her own admission, she started out poorly, but she has gotten much better. Am interested in her upcoming CD.

[PVnRT]

41. None, I don't really give a shit what the indie kids think

n/t

[AllegroRondo]

42. Yanni, Live at the Acropolis

and the soundtrack to "Toys"

[kwassa]

43. Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Mariah Carey's first album

[RubyDuby in GA]

44. Ace of Base

Oh yeah...you know that you sing along when/if it ever comes on the radio!

[mvd]

53. "The Sign" is irresistible

It played at my senior prom, which is another neat thing.

[mcscajun]

45. Michael Bolton and Kenny G -- One CD of each -- bought around the same

time. I spent a summer working in Southeast Florida and was a captive audience for 97.3 FM "South Florida's COAST", and I've always been a sucker for a good musical 'hook'. These guys had earworms: Michael had "Love is a Wonderful Thing" and I like soprano saxophone -- so sue me. :)

Oh yeah, and Rick Astley's "Whenever You Need Somebody" album: "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Together Forever" and "It Would Take a Strong, Strong Man" got me hooked, too.

They are true aberrations in my eclectic music collection that is mostly comprised of classic rock (including Led Zeppelin, Clapton, The Moody Blues, and The Doors) jam bands a la the Grateful Dead, jazz, blues, bluegrass/New grass, Cajun/Zydeco, Celtic, Folk, and Broadway/Hollywood soundtracks.

To my credit, that was also the year and the reason I bought George Harrison's "Cloud Nine". "Got My Mind Set On You" was my favorite from that album.

[Mike Daniels]

46. The Firm and GTR

Two supergroups that weren't...

I can't remember the publication anymore but one music magazine's review for GTR's album was quite possibly the shortest review for any album ever.

The review? SHT

[Omphaloskepsis]

47. Panic! At the Disco and Cute is What we Aim For..

[mvd]

57. Mine

Embarrassing in a good way - The Click Five, Cheyenne Kimball

Embarrassing in a bad way - still own a Nickelback CD. Want my money back.

BTW, I own a lot of pop like Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Hope 7, The Veronicas, Brie Larson, etc. - but am not embarrassed at all.

[Throd]

59. I have a WHAM! picture disc!

It is a 12" record with a photo of George on one side and Andrew on the other.

[idgiehkt]

60. I finally found one

I might should probably be embarassed about. It's Brandy "Sittin' up in my room". I really like that song though.

[carly denise pt deux]

61. The Osmonds, greatest hits

Carly

[jobycom]

62. If I like it, I ain't gonna feel ashamed because some snot-nosed snob doesn't.

I've got everything ranging from Jimmy Buffet to Gregorian Chant to Coolio to Great White. If I get tired of listening to it, I get rid of it. If I enjoy listening to it, no damn music snob will convince me otherwise. A music snob is simply a person who misunderstands the purpose of music in the first place.

[Lyric]

63. I downloaded the song "My Humps" on iTunes

I was trying to make a "dance mix" CD for a friend who owns a lesbian bar and club, and that song happened to be pretty popular in clubs at the time.
