Well, what is the one CD you've got that you'll never admit to owning? For me it's Blue Rodeo's Greatest Hits  Pretty bad for a guy who's musical tastes run towards Metallica, Opeth and Dream Theater eh? |

My most embarassing CD would be Jewel "Pieces of You". Her best CD IMO. Doesn't go very well with my techno and hard rock either. I think I might also have a CD by The Donnas somewhere.

LOL. still have my old celine and madonna cd's though and every once in awhile, i'll feel the need to be female again and have to listen to the sappy crap.  |

I might have to say Color Me Badd... but I admit that it's fun to listen to every once in a while. |

Don't ever be ashamed of enjoying classical music. I played in band in JH and HS so I developed a liking to a lot of that type of music, it shows that you have a little class.
I do like Hope's style in music, my respect for you grows each passing day.

Hey I like classical too! In fact, most Heavy Metal has its roots in classical. Go play Beethoven on your guitar with some distortion and crank it....you'll suprised how much it sounds like Metallica or some euro-metal bands.

This is an interesting topic as I initially thought I knew of embarassing CDs in my collection and figured I would be joining JC's Color Me Badd admission. I just went through my binders and realized - I don't have any embarassing CD's anymore! A couple of years ago I went through every CD I owned and encoded the songs I liked onto MP3. Then, if I had only chosen 1 or 2 songs from the CD to encode - off it went to the used CD store. As JC knows, I'm a total anti-clutter gal, so this is part of my whole anal-retentive personality complex.  The rest were obviously good enough as works in and of themselves to keep, so I did. I estimate I have about 200 CD's left in my collection now, all stored in 3 3" binders. Thanks to the advent of file-sharing, it's not going to grow all that quickly. I don't have to risk buying CDs that are crappy because when I hear a song I like on the radio, in a club or store, or on recommendation from a friend, I download it first and listen to it a few times. If I'm still in love, I'll search for other songs off the same album. If there's nothing but stinkers amongst the rest, I save my hard-earned money and wait until the artist releases a respectable piece of work. CD's that I've bought recently from this system: Sarah McLachlan's Afterglow, Nelly Furtado's Folklore, Franz Ferdinand, Madvillain's Madvillany. Some artists I'll just buy without giving an album preview because they're in my "Deserted Island List" - you know, the list of 5-10 artists that if you could only take 5-10 artist's work to a deserted island where you would be deserted for the rest of your life, that's who you'd take (I hear a thread idea coming on) - like the Beastie Boys or Mary J. Blige. Worked out great on To the 5 Boroughs - not so well on Love & Life (what a stinker that CD is!). So the lesson I've learned is, you never know what's going to happen with your faves as their careers get crushed under the pressure screws of 7-album recording contracts. So, after all that, I guess I'd have to say that the CD I'm most embarassed about - but not all that much - in my collection is Madonna's Ray of Light. What's embarassing is not that it isn't a great album - which it is, especially as a whole body of work - but that it's such an anomaly in a career full of some pretty crappy music. There's my $2 worth (hey, I put a lot of effort into this post, so it's definitely worth more than $.02). |
