The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Acme

I have no idea what I was thinking. Complete whim, that one.

chris whitley - din of ecstasy

...and you will know us by the trail of dead "source tags and codes".

It's pretty good, but it's probably the worst CD I own and I don't really like them enough to own their CD's (it was only like $12 but still). It has to win some kind of award for some of the worst drumming I've ever heard. Anyway, I never listen to it, though the first two songs on it are pretty cool. Just a really meh band.

I used to have an Arab Strap CD, I got rid of that pretty damn quickly though!

I was 9yrs old when I bought it but that's no excuse.

Most Radiohead albums.

Word. I own the Bends and OK Computer and Kid A and Amnesiac. Love the last two, find the first two pretty boring. I guess I should get rid of them.

Looking through my cd's now, I have Afghan Whigs - Gentleman, Echo and the Bunnymen - Songs to Learn and Sing, Scrawl - Thank You, My Bloody Valentine - Loveless, The Smiths - The Queen is Dead, Ned's Atomic Dustbin - God Fodder. Those cd's are all okay but probably aren't worth keeping.

That one surprises me. It's all about differences in taste I know, but still, I can't imagine anyone thinking that's anything other than a very good album.:confused:

I large percentage of my CDs fall into that "why" category. Top of that pile right now is probably Anti-Flag's A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime album. Don't ask.

SuperCreep 08.21.2008 09:53 AM

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Even when I did like the Smashing Pumpkins, I never got the fuss about this one. I probably like five songs on the whole thing. It currently resides in a box full of my shameful CD's like Metallica, Kid Rock, Linkin Park, etc.

SuperCreep 08.21.2008 09:56 AM

Oh yeah, and some kid sold me an album by The Get Up Kids for $2 and he told me I'd love it. One of the most "bleh" CD's I've ever owned. I still hold onto it since I kinda like the artwork.

Nah, I said, it's alright, just not something I ever listen to. For the record, I love Louder than Bombs. Most Smiths cd's bore me though.

atsonicpark 08.21.2008 09:58 AM

Haha there's an anti-flag album I like, can't remember the name. It's a really cheesy album... it has this song called "Right On" on it...

"ANTI-FLAG? THAT DOESN'T MEAN 'ANTI THE AMERICAN FLAG DOES IT'? RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Haha.

pixies - trompe le monde
sex pistols - never mind the bollocks

atsonicpark 08.21.2008 10:03 AM

Aw, Trompe Le Monde rules. Best Pixies album.

blunderbuss 08.21.2008 10:08 AM

Quite a lot of Thurston's improv stuff. For the sake of choosing just one I'll say The Voloptulist.
