Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - Fess up thread!

This morning on Triple J, it was revealed that on this weekend in 1992, the number one record in this country was Achy-Breaky Heart -- and it was there for another seven weeks! :eek: Evidently, this means that at least somebody out there must have bought a copy (or maybe a lot of copies if it was just somebody). It also means that popularity does not necessarily equate to quality, but I digress.

In the past on this forum, I have confessed to at one point listening to both Bros, and MC Hammer. What I want to know is, what really crappy music have you owned over the years? It doesn't have to be something that you still own or listen to, but it has to be something that you once thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The more out of fashion and embarrassing the better.

Oh yeah, the first tape I bought (this was before CD's) was Slim Dusty, when I was about five years old.

My first CD was Rod Stuart, first tape was the "every rose has its thorn" single.

My first CD's came from Columbia House, 10 for a penny(or something like that). I can't remember which one's I got. My first record I ever bought was Boston's first album. The first tape, 8 track, I bought, was something by Charlie Daniel's.

Bon Jovie - Slippery When Wet

George Michael - Faith.

Van Halen's - F.or U.nlawful C.arnal K.nowledge

My girlfriend in college bought me a Madonna CD as I joke and I still own it!

L8R

The first new record I bought was Bowie: Ziggy Stardust...in 1977?
Wrong record, I was looking for Space Oddity,..but it looked so coool.

A bad\ good record I might like\ not to still have would be Kiss: Destroyer.
A record that used to grace the walls, never the turntable: $ex Pistol$: Never mind the bollocks.
Nice colors.

i own Crazytown's first major release, and POD's first major release.... given the chance, i wouldn't ever have picked either of these up... but i don't throw anything away... so i'm stuck now....

First tape I ever bought as a kid...... Miami Sound Machine - Eyes of Innocence

The truly embarrassing one? I've got everybody beat - not even Barry Manilow - Greatest hits beats this:











































The one I got for free with my Pizza Hut pizza Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Out of Our Shells
(Could be worse this guy's hosting the songs on mp3 http://www.mikeystmnt.com/media/sounds/songs/coots/ ) I gave that one to my sister after a month or two but I did own it.

First CD- Metalica- Master of Puppets.

First Tape- Weird Al.

He's looking for most embarrassing more than firsts Kona. Fess up boy!

First cd I ever got was "greetings from asbury park" by Bruce Springsteen. My dad bought it for me because he was tired of me listening to "all that crap on the radio" WORST cd i ve ever paid money for? Easily has to be The Beautiful Letdown by Switchfoot. I really liked "we were ment to live" THEN i listened to the rest of the cd talk about a night and day difference and NOT for the good! Absolute garbage IMHO. After all these years i realize dad was right, the radio IS crap.

First embarrassing cd was Spin Doctors Turn it Upside down

I dont know how it happened, but I ended up with a "Baha man" CD in my collection, I don't remember buying it, but none of my friends will claim it.

I have tried to give it away a few dozen times, leaving it in friends cars, under there bed... eh, right now its the last CD in my case.

The Nermal of CD's eh? Have you tried mailing it to Abu Dhabi?

First 45 (yes those black vinyl things with the big hole) was
Gary Lewis and the Playboys This Diamond Ring
First LP (Black vinyl, small hole) The Turtles Happy Together (and I still like that song).
Shortly after this all hell broke loose and I was buying Blue Cheer Vincibus Eruptum
First CDs Hendrix Are You Experienced? and
Derick and the Dominoes the Layla Sessions

Worst I ever owned? I kind of liked Bread.
Joe, I still listen to Rod Stewart. Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story
are still great CDs

Marty

I still like Rafeys Bananna Phone song And I dont care what any one says.:lol:

KC & The Sunshine Band :roflmao: Hell, I even took my girlfriend(now my wife of 25 years) to a concert back in about '77 or '78 when they were in town. Disco!! Yeah Baby!! :o

I bought three of Heaven 17's cassettes after seeing them on the USA network overnight video show back in the early 80s. I can't remember the name of that show, but it was great.

Heaven 17 was like a glam dance band from the UK, not the type of music I would usually care to hear. Anyone care to guess how they got their name?

First 45: Michael Jackson - Thriller
First Cassette: Don't remember, but I know I had Poison
First CD: Bobby Brown

I once bought a Vitamin C release cause she looked cute on the cover. After hearinghte first 5 seconds on each track, as I couldn't make it any further without hitting next, I took the CD out and threw it across the room.

Lately I don't buy music at all for political reasons, so I listen to the tunes in my collection that have survived the test of time. Occassionaly the radio, but only to remind me how much better my selections are.

I know where the heaven 17 got their name: Clockwork Orange. But I don't remember much of their music.

My crappy music: A barry Manilow record I won in a radio contest, and the soundtrack for Saturday Night fever I got as a gift from clueless relatives. HOwever, as much as I hated disco those songs weren't too bad. "How deep is your love" isn't really a disco song, but a romantic ballad, and even "Disco Inferno" isn't bad as far as disco songs go.

Let's see... back in gradeschool I had a New Kids On the Block CD, before that it was Olivia Newton John.
















































I'm going to be banned from the forum now aren't I? :o

Although it technically belonged to my brother, I certainly enjoyed listening to Vanilla Ice.

A CD compilation of songs from the NPR broadcast series "Hearts of Space". Kind of sounds like Pink Floyd minus the lyrics and musical talent.

Dan

white zombie - electric head (they were glam metal then OMFGGGG :( )

Korn

Limp Bizkit

Britney Spears (yes, kill me now)

Tesh.

Why is that embarrassing to you?

i used to play star fox listening to "can't touch this"... i forget how i got that cd... at least this was when i was 11. :o

cause I thought they were at least punk. I bet if you heard it you would understandthey took glam and tried to make it hard...it failed miserably. Rob didnt even have his voice yet, he was just some screechy souding little brat.

Pay me to make you $$$$$$$. I know industry, cool. He should have dropped it to V'ice.
Bet Billy Idol would beat him stupid in the bathroom tho- total marketing copy a copy to the power of 10.

One werd, punk? CRASS. The band.

P.S. David Bowie Lodger cover is a re=creation of the time Lou Reed busted Bowie up in a bathroom.
Prob a lovers tiff or about dope. :rolleyes:

MORE,MORE,MORE, WITH A REBEL YELL!

First album purchased by myself: Pat Benetar's Get Nervous and I'm not embarrased in the least.

Luckily I have steered clearn of anything too embarrassing. However, I do own one Pet Shop Boys discography cassette which I purchased years after listening to their Being Boring cd when the record store manager put it on daily. No bad, really. That Neil Tennant has a pleasant voice.

1st 45 = My Shirona (4th grade, 1979).
First Album = The Doors s/t (5th Grade, 1980)
First CD = Misfits Collection (Frsh Yr @ Uni, 1987)
WORST music I ever owned -
The Fixx Saved by Zero

First song I remember liking: Bye, Bye Miss American Pie
First album I liked" Jonathan Winters, Stuff and Nonsense
First Album bought with own money: StarWars soundtrack
First tape bought: Richard Pryor, Was it Something I Said?
First CD I bought: Guns&Roses, Appetite for Destruction Had to look through the collection to find it, playing it now, during the final debate.

Just listened to Appetitie for Destruction.(To date myself, had to use my reading glasses to find it) It stands the test of time, every song a good one. Had it cranked up so loud I can't hear the tube now.

i think the first cd i ever had offspring's americana.

The sound track to the first Godfather movie

no apologies, no regrets - and darn it, I'm going to convince myself of that if it's the last thing I do on Earth

I'm going out on a limb here. The Village people. :eek: YMCA.

Oooo dangerous territory there! Probably the most cringe worthy cd I own is Hanson The middle of nowhere I think. Many a moon ago I bought it.

Some people at work were raving about the Dave Mathews Band. I went out on a limb and bought "Before These Crowded Streets"without listining to it. Listened to it one time. Really boring. I can't believe all the hype surrounding this group.
