Most embarrassing CD

“Quebequois”, even - and that might be wrong, too !

Try Québécois, dude. ::sigh::

Awwwww DAMN !

It is the one single word in French / Québécois I keep f***ing up not matter how many times Moosie tells me :wink:

Coldfire


“You know how complex women are”

  • Neil Peart, Rush (1993)

How is this for embarrassing, the early '90s prior to all this MP3 stuff and massive 80’s compilation CD’s my best friend and I spent hours trying to track down the LP’s with Mexican Radio and Turning Japanese on them. We always said that it would be killer to have a CD with them both, and a few years later when I saw a Best of the 80’s that had both songs, I nearly popped a rivet.

Most embarrassing CD - Billboards Rock Hits 1972 - I have this odd obsession with Brandy (You’re a fine girl).

(Feeling instant connection with neurrrro trash girl)

My Spin Doctors Story:

Many years ago, lived with boyfriend who inexplicalby owned this disc. He couldn’t even explain why he bought it. Anyway, we break up, for reasons unrelated to S.D’s C.D. (though that would have been a good reason, I think). He moves out all his stuff, EXCEPT this CD. (Maybe he was bitter with me).

So, as you would expect, I toss it.

Next day, the CD is under my apartment door. Some neighbour saw me throw out the trash & thought I accidentally threw it out. Hmmmmm.

Anyways, I try unsuccessfully to get rid of the bloody thing for years. It always manages to find its way back, and it creeps me out every time. Tres bizarre, non?

If anybody wants it I will send it to you by registered mail, just to ensure that this spawn of Satan disc it away from me once and for all. Any takers?

My embarassing CD’s…Rick Wakeman’s A Suite of the Gods which is ugh. Wakeman is an incredible keyboardest, but can’t compose at all…I also have a couple of Yanni’s earlier works, which aren’t to bad musically, but still generally don’t leave out and around…my friends who know my love of keyboard and electronic music know I have them, the others…don’t.

Going back a few posts:

MasPoet, it’s some sunny day, not a foggy day. I hate to nitpick, but come on, this is Floyd we’re talking about.


Still trying to think of something witty to say here

I think I’ve still got a 45 of “Saturday Night” by the Bay City Rollers around here somewhere. Wish I could find it; it’s a great song.

OK, it’s bugging the crap out of me. What is an “MP3?”

My most embarrasing CD? Well, I only own about 50, but my collection includes “Hero Songs,” by Walt Disney. It has some of the main tracks from Disney movies, like Aladdin, and Little Mermaid.

Adam, slinking away in shame.


“Life is hard…but God is good”

ARG220, MP3 is short for MPeg Level 3 Audio compression. It has kind of replaced the MOD as the default internet musical standard, as well as being a pretty popular way of sending and kind of audio. Several companies now make MP3 players that are like digital walkmans.

Wow… umm… I’m not sure I want to play, but what the hell:

Neil Diamond, The Jazz Singer
Every once in a while, when in a drunken and strange mood, my friend and I in college would blast Love On the Rocks through the dorm.


“I guess one person can make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.”

I have the Lion King soundtrack.


Find my shape by the moonlight, why my thoughts aren’t so clear.

All my embarassing CD’s have been thrown away years ago, including Amy Grant, who I had a major crush on in high school, a few Poison tapes, and various other tripe that was mentioned in this thread.

As for mp3’s I’m a little hesitant to say I downloaded (but secretly LOVE), how about :

Cat Stevens - Remember the Days of the Old Schoolyard (among a few other Cat Stevens songs. Is it me or does this guy have an unnatural obsession with songs about children? Kinda creepy, but they’re good tunes.)

Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting
Charlie Daniels Band - Uneasy Rider
Escape Club - I’ll be There (I actually have a 50mb mpeg of the video to this song. Stop laughing.)
Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edumund Fitzgerald (Scoffed at by many, but I consider it to be one of the best ballads ever made.)
Garth Brooks - The Thunder Rolls (one of only two good country songs ever made. The other is The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.)
Men at Work - Land Down Under
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
Toto - Africa
Night Ranger - Sister Christian
Sweet - Little Willy
Supertramp - Dreamer

Actually I wouldn’t say I’m ashamed to have any of these songs. Quite the opposite; I’m fiercely PROUD of these excellent tunes even though everyone else thinks I should be embarrassed of them.

Vera Lynn:

There’ll be bluebirds over,

the White Cliffs of Dover!

Nothing to be ashamed of there. She was great. Gave our boys something to fight for!

OOPS! I missed one:

Gary Glitter’s Greatest Hits

And yes, I paid for it.


You’re only as old as you look.

Gary Pucket and the Union Gap. Not only is an embarrassment now, but I was too embarrassed to buy it at the record store. I could not endure the inevitable sneering which I knew would accompany the purchase, so I made my much braver sister go to the register. She, of course, had to preface handing the CD over with, “this is NOT for me…the true connisseur is standing right over there…” as I slunk out the door.

For some strange reason, I still have every tape and CD I have ever owned. The tapes I liked broke years ago, these survive intact:

Jermaine(sp?) Jackson – “Dynamite.” Someone gave me this as a gift, I think they confused him with Michael. Great song title: “The great escape from the planet of the ant men.”

Men At Work – “Cargo.” This was their second (and last) tape. “Business as Usual” was a major hit, four or five singles from it were played incessantly during my bus ride to school. I thought those guys were going to be huge. Now I can’t believe the music ever stuck to the master tape.
