Most Embarassing Albums to Own

Post Reply New Topic

There are so many lists of albums that're all time best or worst, but I got to think about what albums would cause you literal and physical embarassment if someone discovered them in your record collection. Albums where merely owning them is simply in-defensible and you immediately have to just apologize for paying money for it.

It can be one you own or one you discovered a friend owned and you just thought "what is wrong with you???"

A few examples:

Spice Girls "Forever"
Limp Bizkit "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water"
Mariah Carey "Glitter"
Vanilla Ice "Hard to Swallow"
Creed "Weathered"

Abba: Gold
anything by John Tesh

^yeah, my mom owns ABBA: Gold. it's not all too bad except every other song sounds alike.

A Little Bit of Mambo by Lou Bega. we have the cd in a dusty corner somewhere around here. the lyrics sound like they were written by a 12 year old.

Souljatellem.com by Soulja Boy...yeah...

anything by Yanni

Dexy's Midnight Runners-Too-Rye-Aye

George Harrison-Somewhere In England

Goes to show how stupid I was in my late teens.

Anything by Michael Bolton, Liberace, Esteban, or The Captain & Tenille (Toenail).

Peter Frampton: Live. I couldn't give that one away at used record stores...I tried...

ooh, we always used to say Hell had muzak piped in with only one song "Muskrat Love".

Merle

Aerosmith, Done With Mirrors. That's the one that when Steven Tyler and Joe Perry finally listened to it sober, they were driven to go to rehab so they wouldn't get stoned enough to do another album like that again.

Emerson Lake & Palmer, Love Beach. Now ordinarily I'm ELP's b***h, and side 2 of the album does have the rather nice suite "An Officer and a Gentleman", but side one was full of some of the worst crap those three ever pumped out. My only excuse was that I was twelve, and wanted a complete collection of their albums. Besides, I got it cheap, from the remaindered table...

I insist, this:

And turn up your volume, LOUD!

Now GERARDO puts ABBA, ELP, Michael Bolton, Liberace, Esteban, Captain & Tenille, and all above TO SHAME! In the utmost shameful way.

Just feel sexy watching it, yes? That isn't the right abjective but I'm guessing here.

Did you see the sombreros? Just too much Please don't reveal but I have this bookmarked in Favorites, just when I'm in the mood.
Ummm, here in Fairbanks (summertime) I heard and saw a top-down convertible (this is even rare in summer) playing LOUD Gordon Lightfoot.
Alaska is sooo behind and just oblivious.

Anyway, any takers for GERARDO?

you think THAT'S bad? check THIS out.

first time I saw this I laughed myself into seizures. I like to look at it as one long metaphor for coming out of the closet. and I'm not saying that to be a jerk, it's unavoidable.

my favorite part is during the chorus when he rips his super gay shirt in a fit of dancing (and it is a fit) and then proceeds to put on an EVEN GAYER SHIRT.

also watch out for him molesting the fugly drummer at the end.

Anything by Nickleback, or Styx, sorry Killroy,

Watched the video...poor, poor Billy. I think Gerardo is WAY too tough for Billy.

Thinking we could start a donation can (like a coffe can with photos of Billy & Gerardo) to collect spare change for the therapy costs incurred, yes?

Yeah, the limp biskit album. Abba Gold. Really I have no shame, Christina Aguilera-stripped, Judy Garland collection. Luckily all these are mixed in with heavy metal and rock I kinda want to buy Elton John's greatest hits, but would like someone to go in the shop for me.

Culture Club - if you like Boy George, you got some problems
Michael Jackson - if you are still listening to "Beat It" after the whole sex scandle, you probably also listen to Culture Club

Thought of a few more

Milli Vanilli (with a name like that, surly a winner)
Yoko Ono
Richard Simmons, if you sing along to Richards album "Reach" then you probably also listen to,
The Village People
Hanson (dangit, now I got "MMM Bop" in my head)
