That you may not be a huge fan is one thing, but honestly? This is the worst album you own?

i love psychocandy.

demonrail666 01.04.2009 12:33 PM

Me too. But that's not to say everyone should. I just can't believe someone would realistically say it's the worst album they own.

viewtiful_alan 01.04.2009 12:44 PM

Oh god...
Fuck this one is easy: The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani.. it was given to me by my cousin who was a dj at the local pop station at the time.

That and Mother Love Bone

Eh it really is, but if you listen to it for what it is, the songs are good. I mean I love cry for love, the title track, and little ms. emperor. But for the most part they are all at least decent.

Honestly, yes. I don't like it one bit.

Was it Adam and Eve or something? I've got that album somewhere... bought it on recommendation thinking ah, that I'd probably like it but it is shit.

I can sympathise. I have quite a few Pavement records, which I episodically trawl through. Every time I wish I hadn't given them the time of day, because they annoy me so very, very much. And yet I keep them, because so many decent, reasonable people seem to like them, and I think "Oh, maybe I'll like it in a year or so".

Otherwise, I have some crap records, but none that particularly irk me. I have serious concerns for anyone who doesn't have time in their life for some good old-fashioned genuinely crap records (Cradle of Filth, anyone?).

atsonicpark 01.06.2009 10:22 PM

There are a few catherine wheel songs I don't mind... but I wouldn't own an album.

Kosako 01.07.2009 07:08 AM

Some cumbia i got for my wife, or Arjona, or Sanz, or... probably I should divorce from her

ihateyouth 01.07.2009 07:09 AM

the Natalie Imbruglia.

Toilet & Bowels 01.07.2009 07:42 AM

This is a difficult question to answer, i've got about 2000 CDs, tapes, and records, the ones I've bought that I really didn't like are ones that I forget about.

blunderbuss 01.07.2009 07:48 AM

There's a few of Thurston's noise things that I wonder why I bought them, but I can't say I hate them because I just don't bother to listen to them. I have plenty of shit hot stuff to play, why waste my time worrying about stuff that I'm just not that bothered about?

In Light of Blunderbuss's statement I have revised my opinion, the record I own that I hate the most is:
Thurston Moore - Please Just Leave Me My Paul Desmond

greedrex 01.07.2009 08:48 AM

i've never heard that one; but everybody hates it with passion; is it really that bad?? I thought it was more or less kind of "sensitive/lethal" sort of stuff-sounding, no?
is it even worse than TV SHIT?

right, so that's recorded farts, i guess.:p cuz imo TV SHIT is really huh shitty.

lechaoscestmoi 01.07.2009 09:32 AM

from her to eternity. i bought it solely based on the cover and cuz someone told me it's his best album, and i love the boatman's call. but this is really not my thing, can't get into it.

Phlegmscope 01.07.2009 11:07 AM

Now that someone brought up that particular thurston moore fuck up (please leave me my... that is), it's my answer too.

In my book, just by being lame isn't enough to get an album a hate status. Thus, there's not many albums in my collection I honestly loathe. This gang of four album might be one though, I have to listen to it again to make a judgement.

no, farts are at least funny.

joe11121 01.23.2009 09:16 PM

The Earl Of Slander 01.24.2009 03:09 PM

I have a whole load of albums I call the "regretful pile", which are remenants of my godawful taste from my early teen years, and that are so shitty and removed from what I listen to now that I don't think they really 'count'. Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Sum 41 and so on. Nothing original. Out of those however, one particular monstrosity always stands out, like a turd floating to the surface, and that is:

OPM - Forthemasses


 



The English language is simply insufficient to convey how brain rapingly awful this album is, but a sample section of the lyrics from the first single, 'Horny', may go some way to giving you an idea:

I keep on lookin' at her like I got game
"What's your sign girl what's your name?"
"Are you lookin' at me like I'm lookin' at you?"
Later on baby doll we'll be cookin' for two

Cuz girl's come and girls yes they go
I wish these girls would just let me know
Can I take you home to night
Is my future with you looking bright

All this conversating it's so frustrating
All this in-between waiting that comes along with dating
Masturbating would be just fine
We're just wasting time with these pick up lines

So this is what we're gonna do
You make it easy for me I'll make it easy for you
Just clap your hands just clap your hands
Just clap your hands if you're horny

If you're horny and you know it clap your hands
If you're horny and you know it clap your hands
If you're horny and you know it and you really want to show it
Well get on my lap and do a dance


Aside from that, in my 'proper' record collection, I'd probably have to say the one I actually have the closest to genuine hatred for would be John Martyn's 'Piece by Piece', as it represents to me a concentrated distillation of everything that was wrong with popular music in the 80s. Why in God's name would you want to put synths all over a John Martyn record? If I actually owned it, an even better example of the same principle would be Miles Davis' 'Aura'.
