Unless you filed it next to your "Nickelback" CD's

Now you're just being ridiculous!

At one point I was low on money and switching my music collection from cassette to CD anyway, so I decided to take all my cassette tapes in to a used record store for a quick few dollars. Only problem is, I sold back some tapes which, as far as I know, have never been re-issued on CD.

The worst among those were a John Wetton (of King Crimson and Asia) solo album called Caught In the Crossfire, a John Wetton/Phil Manzanera album, and Patrick Moraz and Bill Bruford's Music For Piano and Drums. There was also a Geoff Downes solo tape which I think was also released on CD, but is now incredibly rare in any format. And there were other goodies as well which I can't recall specifically now as this all happened over 20 years ago.

Out of all that stuff I pissed away, I've only found the Moraz/Bruford on bittorrent in years of searching.

The one with "Brand New Key." Sold it a few months later.

I deserved to have been required to listen to a Yoko Ono album or Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" for that purchase, but the statute of limitations lapsed a long time ago.

From the number of views on several of them, I'm starting to feel like DU just sort of does a collective face palm. Thursday's post could be epic!

Even the stuff I don't listen to anymore I liked enough to buy at the time.
And I'm one of those people who enjoys keeping some bad music around to torture his friends with.

But there was this one night in 1989 when I got really wasted watching the Headbangers Ball....

Hey,
Thanks for sharing the video, I love the guitarist going from the top to the bottom of the strings, funny stuff, let along the hair, hahaha.

Peace

I used to keep my Boy George cassett (and yes...I bought a CD as well) hidden in a drawer...

but I still confess to liking his music....

... but at age 14 I bought a Bobby Sherman 45. Bag over head in 3....2....1.....

I had a Bobby Sherman record. don't remember it or how I came to own it, must have been a gift

I didn't realize until years later that Bobby Sherman was one of the stars of a TV show I liked at the time, "Here Come the Brides".

...and listening to Bobby Sherman was inexcusable.

I still don't know the names of any songs of his

I wish I had that album! Even if the music would turn out to be awful, the cover picture alone would be worth the price. lol

But it was a present for my niece who was about 8 at the time.

Back when I was a kid. They might still be in a box somewhere in my house. Yikes!

I've blocked it out.

...check Wikipedia:

original album.

That's pretty bad.

I bought it and have even listened to it when my kids are not in the car.

I was young and stupid.

*That's true, not a Fun Fact #2.

Or none of the above?

It was the Moving Pictures Tour. Does that mean anything?

Ace of Base. No, I don't know, either.

my sister and i listen to it with some regularity

Hey, I was a kid and everybody was listening to them.

But I learned quickly. A year later I had some Bowie and Clash.

We played a lot of Styx in hs.

I knew a girl named Lorelei.

And come on, Light Up and Suite Madame Blue were good songs.


In fact, my buds and I began many a smoking session with Light Up.

I thought they were sooooo cute!

Aqua - Barbie Girl as well. As a goof of course.

I have no fucking idea what was going on in my head at the time.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

was the bass player - one Nick Beggs

who would later play the Chapman Stick for John Paul Jones on his solo albums Zooma and Thunderthief.


Fantastic albums.

...in a basketball arena. it was awful but i wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Dating a Thompson Twins fan

Horrible show, wonderful after party tho -

I really do - I have their greatest hits album!

With My Sharona. Everyone has to get a Mulligan right? At the same time I owned Elvis Costello, the Clash, The Stranglers, The Jam... Anyway, one Brain fart allowed, I say!

I wrote my report about the Knack and predicted them to be the next greatest superband like Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin.

Not kidding!

Or "Biff Rose, Half Live at the Bitter End"

I was 15 and a late bloomer to being a fan of album oriented rock; My music world up to that time being whatever the top-40 garbage on AM or FM radio. First heard this album played and I thought it was great. It was my very first album and compared to cheesy top 40 stuff, it was almost esoteric. Though KISS could do really good rock when they wanted too ( especially their earlier stuff ) hindsight proved this this to not be a very solid album ( to my ears ) and one of the first signs they were selling out. Meanwhile at that time I was totally unaware of all the other hard rock bands that were there, but many of my peers were already listening, and they gave me hell for having KISS Destroyer.

I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Of course, that was before all of their songs started sounding alike.

WHAT was I thinking???

the one that made hims shiver, even when she treated him like chopped liver....

:shame:

the soundtrack to Rocky Horror Picture Show

Good-bye, papa. It's time to die when all the birds are singing in the sky.

Bleh.

Listening to it RIGHT NOW!

I was 12 and dumb...
