worst cd/vinyl you payed money for?

[Humiliation]

I'm pretty good with my cds but my dad has some shockers. Jaques Lossier. Some guy playing piano. Wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a drummer completely out of place. JUST SHOOT THE BASTARD.

[abcdefz]

Hmmmm.... I'd say the worst record I ever paid cash for was ELO's Secret Messages. Hoo boy, that was bad.

Most shocking is that Jeff Lynne actually wanted it to be a two-record set, and the record company whittled it down to one.


Second place would probably be Big Country's Steeltown. It wasn't as awful, but it was so poor, so disappointing. That's back when Steve Lillywhite was ruining everybody's sophomore efforts (Big Country, U2, Marshall Crenshaw).

Simple Kid. i saw the video, and then i saw it for less than ten bucks at a checkstand. talk about impulse buy...it's a coaster now.

[Parkey]

The first Alanis Morrisette album. What the fuck was I thinking?!!!

[muddfoot]

That starship album with "we built this city on rock and roll" on it. Worst dollar I've ever spent (n) what was I thinking.

I think it would have to be a Black Grape record...which I picked up due to a Ronald and Nancy Reagan anti-drug dub mixed to be pro dope....damn thats a bad one... ;)

Knee Deep in the Hoopla. Oh, wow.

You win.

[Betty_808]

CD: some dance mix crap...eeeeek

Vinyl: some shitty ass drum and bass i picked up out of the used bin...one track sounded ok when i previewed it at the store but the rest was CRAP :p

That's bizarre because the day I bought that Alanis album (with gift vouchers when I was 14 or something) it was between that and the Black Grape album. I always regretted my choice...

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

'be here now' by oasis. but i am kinda glad that it was pants. opened up my eyes to a whole new, quite beautiful, world of musics. :)

[MC Moot]

I always regretted my choice...

yep,as bad as the B.Grape wuz,I think you made the wrong choice! Unless you were on a mission to support Can Con laws! :)

[RT400z]

The worst cd I probably have is TSOL'S Dissapear. I was expecting a WHOLE lot better. I guess older is almost always going to be better.

[b-grrrlie]

I think the worst I got was OST fo Three Johns. I really liked the movie, couldn't remember anything about the music tho', found it on a sale for $3 or sumtin. Not worth every penny :(

[HellofaSandwich]

I'm still kicking myself for picking up that Mooney Suzuki album last year. Complete lapse of judgment.

Also tons of stuff from the Moon Ska record label.

[Documad]

Probably the Bonnie Tyler vinyl that had Total Eclipse of the Heart. :o But I have a lot of embarrassing vinyl. I tell everyone that I paid a dollar used, but it's not always true.

Also the first Sting solo album. I listened to it once or twice. Man, I loved the Police, so that was so sad.

[sheesh]

Mase--Harlem Nation. What a bunch of contrived crap.

[Sandinista!]

U2- War

Garbage; I should've bought a Bunnymen album instead.

[abcdefz]

U2- War




...they were smart to get that Red Rock EP out there as quickly as they did; the sound of War was too thin, and the songs that were good would've been forgotten pretty fast.

[CiaoBellaXO]

the Fu Schnickens....WASTE

[MC Moot]

the Fu Schnickens....WASTE


Fuck yeah,they should be imprisoned for what they did to "ring the alarm" ;)

[muddfoot]

the Fu Schnickens....WASTE
I kinda like those guys

[Rock]

The House Martins - London 0 Hull 4.

I guess the $3.99 price tag on it should have told me.

[Freedom Toast]

Years ago, I was drunk record shopping on ebay. I did a search for "Money Mark". I saw a 12" I didn't have...and never heard of before. I scored it for less than a dollar. When the record arrived, it was fucking "I Need Money" by Marky Mark. Fuck.

[cubsfirstplace]

i bought a shaquille o'neal cd a while ago for $4.
i only listened to it once.

[laserx54]

Adam Sandler "Stan and Judy's Kid" - $15.99

just might be the worst comedy cd in creation


Static X "Wisconsin Death Trip" - $17.99

this cd was way overpriced considering how shit it was. this band will only be known for one good song and trying to be different by making horrible industrial/techno music

[madchild]

i know i am going to get shit for this one but,

beastie boys-to the 5 boroughs
and don't try to tell me that i'm not a fan i skipped work the and went to the virgin megastore at midnight to be one of the first people to get a copy, then i listened to it a while and was disgusted.

[the been]

The first Alanis Morrisette album. What the fuck was I thinking?!!!

do you mean the FIRST first album where she's all cheese and hairspray?

Granted, it was sub-par and monotonous at time, but it wasn't the "worst." It had its share of gold in between the excessive bass and repetitive beats.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Snoop Dogg - Da game is to be sold not told :(

I "discovered" rap when I was in like year 7/8, and this was the second Snoop album I bought, I was expecting to get more of the quality shown on "Doggystyle" but all I got was some contrived bullshit and its only got worse for Snoop. And he attempted to cover NWA's gangsta gangsta (n)

[minorthreat]

staind's break the cycle album. i listened to it a couple of times and then used it as a coffee mat...pretty efficient as a mat, but the music ain't that good...

You sure it's not just the disappointment factor?

The first time I played it, the disappointment factor was high; then I listened to it quite a few times over the next weeks, giving it a chance.

I think it's okay. About a B- in my book. But I knew I wasn't going to listen to it much, so I traded it in toward something else. I think it settles into place between LTI (my least favorite) and IC (my third least favorite, now).

If I were rabid about the Beastie Boys, it would probably have a special place, because it's definitely got its own charm; but, to me, their three masterpieces are the ones worth having.

Tt5B is to the Beastie Boys as Islands is to the Band, I think.

[Sandinista!]

"Tt5B" is to the Beasties as "Presence" is to Zeppelin.

i liked break the cycle. 14 shades of gray was bullshit though

this thread offends me :(

[jabumbo]

for unlawful carnal knowledge


fuck me with the $3 i paid for it. when i went to sell it back to the store, i noticed they had 3 or 4 copies already in stock, so i ended up getting like 50 cents in trade
