Nowt wrong wi Pet Shop Boys or Erasure!

However there is something seriously wrong with Mariah Carey

Do I win anything for that confession?

Mariah Carey is actually one of Martin's codenames.

I think Melz has now taken over the lead with those Ace of Base records, not one but FOUR! WOOHOO!

Love and Peace

i suppose i'm pretty embarrassed about being a donny osmond fan back in '74, though i only bought one album and never saw the band live


i think the first record i bought was called 'look around and you'll find me there' by vince hill, very smooth...and cringeworthy!

Yes, that Ace of Base collection of mine is a bit cringe-worthy. Three albums-worth of that synth'ed up straight-to-radio pop that you either love or hate, and one masterpiece album that took the formula just a little step further. (But of course, that didn't sell so they reverted to their old style. You know how it is in the music biz. Wink )

I'm bringing the good old thread back to life...
A couple of months ago I bought The Best of Frankie Goes To Hollywood... I thought that they were a good band, I had only heard good things about them, but... The whole bloody album is pure shite! Embarassed
Okay, I didn't pay too much for it, but still, it's one of the records I wish I had never bought!

Yesterday I saw one of their old music videos on TV. I had a good laugh at those silly Pet Shop Boys wannabes! Rolling Eyes

More embarrassing records later...

I was going to start a thread like this the other day, but never got round to it, still...

The most disturbing thing I have festering away in a cupboard is:

STRYPER.
Why Question Question Question

They are in good company, being flanked by Dokken, Magnum, Giuffria and White Lion. My mid teens were a descent into soft ponce rock hell ( I even liked a Then Jericho song for fucks sake!!!!). I nearly grew BIG HAIR and sucked in my cheeks like I'd just bitten a wasp!! (check out David Coverdale circa 1987 & you'll see what I mean!)
Fortunately I came through this incident relatively unscathed.

I am also a fan of Marillion! Shocked

I'll get my coat....... Rolling Eyes

'staring at the sun' by level 42, which, on top of being a level 42 album, was a really shit level 42 album, and has been deleted from my life in an act of stalinist revisionism.

my mate mat was right, i should have bought 'new jersey' by bon jovi.

OK, we've been talking about our favourite/worst gigs lately, now it's time for the most embarrassing records you've bought. Again. Wink

I've already mentioned "Deep Down & Dirty" by Stereo MC's and "The Best of Frankie Goes To Hollywood"... Here are some others:

- 3 albums by The Wings ("At The Speed of Sound" was one of the first CDs I ever bought)
- 3 albums by Duran Duran (OK, 'Ordinary World' is a top song)
- 5 Deep Purple albums (they aren't that bad actually but I think someone mocked them earlier in this thread. Rolling Eyes )
- "Permission To Land" by The Darkness ... and yes, I like it.

AND...

- 2 albums by Simply Red !!! Embarassed OK, I have no idea what I was thinking of when I bought them, I don't think I ever liked them (haha, honestly) but I listen to them every now and then - they always make me laugh. (come on, 'Something Got Me Started' is seriously funny)

[Seriously funny? How's that possible?]
