Albums you wish you never bought.

[zefarelly]

for me its Wake UP- ,Boo radleys

was fooled into buying it for the title song and one other, the rest of the albums shit!

Now thats some Admission Popkins . . . .I'll follow suit . . ..when I first heard You Autta know by Alanis Morissetee I thought . . .catchy riff, good bass . . . I foolishly went right out and bought the Album . . . .what a dreadful dreadful mistake, it makes nme whince just thinking about it and it was nine years ago

Easy 10, Illusion was a class tune mate, nice bit of eighties soul. Love that record. Me got the album too, mad cover!

I'm personally ashamed to own The Power Of Classic Rock by the London Symphony Orchestra, awful violin versions of The Power Of Love et al. Dire. So bad I even bought the sequel. Was only about 10 at the time, mind

 

[Hungry Joe.]

Album Of The Year by Faith No More - absolute pony save for the single release (who's name escapes me now). Best ironic album title ever though.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits - need I say anymore, I'm ashamed.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Waking Up the Neighbors by Bryan Adams.

What was I thinking?

 

[Skaville]

Would have to go along with the Seahorses, just for the sheer disappointment of it. Two good tracks. Be Here Now for the same reason.

I bought the new Morrissey album for my girlfriend and she just will not stop bloody playing it. It's okay, but three times a bloody day? What is it with laydeez and music? One CD a year seems to do the job (apologies to any muso ladies out there!)

 

[Gwylan]

for me its Wake UP- ,Boo radleys

I fell that for that too, Mr P. Title track is a good pop song, the rest is bollocks.

Tried to give it away to a charity shop - even they weren't having it.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Dido - 1st Album. Bought it because of all the hype. Really not my kind of thing.

Recently - The Stands, just can't get in to it at all.

 

[Dave the OAP]

The ABBA album with them sitting in a helicopter on the front cover...absolute shite.

Tusk was pretty crap by Fleetwood Mack too

 

[Cian]

Groove Armada cos I liked the track 'I see you baby' ...turns out on the album it's a different version than the chart single

Thats because the single version is by Fatboy and the album version and the rest of the album isn't.


For me, it was that last Coldplay album. Music to kill yourself to, so damn depressing.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

The Verve album that was big a few years back. Kinda liked the singles and a friend raved about it, but a whole album of the stuff - bloody awful.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Dizzee Rascal Boy in da corner, loads of hype and good reviews in guardian and nme but mostly crap

that is quite bad, but i got it for free of suprnova.org

 

[Oval Gull]

Album Of The Year by Faith No More - absolute pony save for the single release (who's name escapes me now). Best ironic album title ever though.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits - need I say anymore, I'm ashamed.

Brothers In Arms for me as well...although I must also admit to buying Elton John's "Sleeping with the past", although that was something like 16 years ago now, thank god.

That album really is a bag of shite.

 

[Mr Popkins]

Recently - The Stands, just can't get in to it at all.

same here, my Mrs bought it and took it back they are a poor mans Cast along with The Coral.

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Blimey - a poor man's Cast - I just can't imagine how shit that would be.

(btw - I quite like Wake Up)

 

[rool]

I wish I hadn't bought The Beautiful South's last one, Gaze.

 

[Sorrel]

White Ladder by David Gray. Awful, awful. IMO, of course.

 

[El Presidente]

The Don Henley Album that starts with the classic "Boys Of Summer" but the rest takes shite to a new dimension. I would rather be wanked off by Ian Paisley than have to listen to that dirge ever again.

I think it is called "Building the perfect beast"

Oh and 'Spartacus' by The Farm is f***ing awful too.

 

[Mick Beard BHA]

I would rather be wanked off by Ian Paisley than have to listen to that dirge ever again.

Funniest thing i've read in ages El P!

You're SURELY not talking about 'Jagged Little Pill'? CLASSIC album, a case study in the whole Britpop era (even though she's Canadian).

Quite frankly, I'm appalled.

 

[Pevenseagull]

a quick glance at the mighty pile of cd's in pevenseagull heights I am reminded that

1) "Again" by Colder is absolutely F***ing dire
2) Sigur Rios albums could do with being a lot shorter

and

3) Ben Harper's career has been bit patchy
