The only CD I'm ashamed to admit I own (somewhere) is the Rembrandts' LP. What a waste of money.

I have a variety of pop music that other people have listed here; I am not afraid to admit that I enjoy pop music (such as that produced by the Spice Girls, Take That!, and Boyzone, amongst others). Sometimes you just need to bounce a little.

really? you really think so?

i think they kick some ass, i've seen them a few times since they started playing at the warped tour years and years ago, when the warped tour was cool. reminds me of old skool pogues, before shane mcgowan got a colostomy bag. and they are pretty cool folks, very friendly and down to earth when i met them at the warped tour. (how many more times can i get the words "warped tour" in this?)

I've got some stuff that even I think is crap (and I like some crappy music) but nothing that I find embarrassing.

It's kinda nice not to see any Hootie and the Blowfish.

Dude, you made my day. I just went and bought the track on iTunes and it's going straight on the iPhone! Major 90s flashback.

There is nothing that I am "ashamed" of, and my collection covers Prince, Glenn Miller/Benny Goodman, Sinatra, Spice Girls, J. Giels (bought the LP for the "covergirl" song), some odd music from King Crimson with an truly awesome cover art (chose that for the art alone), Celtic music, Boy George, Sons of the Pioneers, Etc. Etc.
Everything from a recording of Nickeledeons from the 1890's (1960's LP) that a no doubt deceased gentleman back east restored, to classical, to current pop drek. Some songs get very little if any playing time but you never know what mood will strike.
edit: the most annoying CD in the house (no LPS come to mind) is that freaking annoying Crazy Frog cd that my 7 year old likes so much - I would rather hear an endless loop of 60's country than that CD.

I love Sons of the Pioneers. They were awesome.

Ahh...a staple on many a singing cowboy movie from the 40's and 50's. Just the mention of them put Cool Water and Tumblin' Tumbleweeds in my head.

Someone once gave me a Will Smith album because they heard I liked rap.
Other than that...Oh, right I did have that No doubt album, but I'm not embarrassed by that, just have caught shit for it. That song "ex-girlfriend" was really catchy, and Gwen Stefani was hot.
Oh, right, and what I hear is the worse Metallica album, Re-Load. It wouldn't be sad if it weren't the only Metallica album I had.
Fuck, I just remembered I had a Korn phase. Jesus fucking christ.

I'm the proud owner of John Mayer's Where the Light Is, Coldplay's Viva la Vida,
Radiohead's Amnesiac (which is actually sort of hypnotically good.)

but the only album I'm ashamed to own is the horribly recorded mass product copy of the Free Tibet concert series. Junk, it wasn't worth half of the 2 dollars I paid for it.

I used to get no end of grief from friends who discovered Carpenters records in my album collection.

As a teenager, I fell in love with Karen's voice, especially when she gets down toward the bottom of her range. Her voice is just so smooth and effortless and down right sexy.



She remains one of my all-time favorite women singers!

ZombieSquirrel

Ace of Base is THE worst band .... ever. You can ask Cinna about my deep deep hatred of them....

That being said, I may or may not have a Hanson CD...and it's not even the one with Mmm Bop on it.

i can't even download it, it's so top secret. but i have a couple streaming playlists of "Owl City" which is verbatim Deathcab For Cutie with slightly better beats and lyrics. I love the bleeps and bloops, but I intermittently want to beat myself up and take my own lunch money when i hear it.

Yeah, don't sing "The Sign" to her, or she'll stop speaking to you for the rest of the evening. (or at least until she forgets that she's not speaking to you.)


I recently remembered that I bought Britney's first cd. It sucked, and I ended up giving it away... but I bought it after hearing "Baby, One More Time." To my credit (c'mon, I get SOME credit, right?) the cashier had no idea who she was. "Britney Spears? What kind of music is that?" Me: "Um...kinda poppy?"

It's true! I have a Swiss Cheese brain and forget things.




I have the one with Womanizer on it. I'm not ashamed...it makes me dance. Also, we all know she's crazy so it's ok and kind of funny now.

Yeah, Tom Cochrane & Red Rider... but still some vintage straight ahead Canuck Rock. I wouldn't relegate them to the dustbin just yet.


Stevie Winwood? What's wrong with him? I still like Spencer Davis Group:

than to see her in a sweater
and a tight skirt
that don't fit...

Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft... Remember her with that tune? But still, every time I hear a Carpenters song on the muzak system in the grocery, everybody is humming or whistling along...

I just recalled that I received a huge amount of grief from my friends when they discovered my Boney M 8-track in the car. They played it through once, especially rocking on to Brown Girl In The Ring before they chucked it out the window. For those of you who know Toronto, this happened on Yonge St at Carleton. A few blocks north, there was a tap on the window, and a cop on a horse was holding it and said that I had unfortunately lost something and would I like it back. I still have that 8-track, but no player.

I don't have much, in fact I have almost none, of the CDs, I prefer digital format. And talking about my mp3 collection, there is much crap (about 150Gb) that filled my HD which don't listen. That's mostly because I work in radio so I need to have all sorts of music. I maybe would be ashamed of my country's folk music that's disgusting, but my friends know I don't listen that.
