What's the lamest record you ever bought?

Posted almost 5 years ago
First, full disclosure: I have wholly ripped off the idea for this post from the esteemed soulrocket groove, who in a post earlier today owned up that, as an impressionable young missile, he had purchased Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Tarkus." We all need to salute his bravery in confessing this transgression to the community. More than that, I would suggest that we all need to share in the same sort of catharsis, by revealing publicly the lamest album we've ever purchased. Not necessarily the worst: I once laid out cash money for Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas' "Little Children" LP, but as I was only 10 at the time, it can fairly be said that I didn't know any better. The lamest album is, by definition, the one you should have been smart and wise and tasteful and hip enough never to have gotten within a bargepole's distance of. It is almost always bought on impulse. In my case, I slapped my money on the counter willing to bet that this album was going to be good, based on one song I heard in a club in (as they say in England) an advanced state of refreshment. This ghastly mistake was (gulp) the Thompson Twins' "Quick Step and Side Kick."There, I've said it. Waves of shame are sweeping over me like Milli Vanilli's extensions. Of course I realized after the first listen that it was an utterly appalling slab of vinyl. Nonetheless, it remained filed right next to Richard Thompson for several years, until I was able to summon up the energy to bring it to St. Marks Sounds as a trade-in. I was amazed they took it. Even revealing it to the oh-so-hip guys behind the counter was unbearably humiliating.So there it is, my peers and friends. I have put before you one of the most shameful moments of my life. I make no apologies. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I could easily blame it on bad drugs, but that's no excuse. Now, in MOG's true spirit of mutuality, it's time for a communal purge. What is the lamest record you ever bought? Maybe you did it because you wanted to be one of the cool kids. Or because you were off your face while browsing in your local record store. The reason for your rash purchase is immaterial - what matters is that you came to be (rightfully) humiliated for ever having forked out the dough for it, and remain so to this day. (Extra points if you actually loved it for a time.) Let us have no secrets from each other, fellow MOGgers. Trust me, you'll feel much better if you unburden yourselves. Let the healing begin.

    deedee says Don McLean, probably. First and second LPs. In the throes of an oh-so-sensitive adolescence, wherein I collected wimpy balladeers. And he did a show at my high school and I went. (P.S.: A few years ago, my mate and I were driving some young relatives around, and "American Pie" was on the oldies station, and a woeful little voice in the back seat said, "This is longest song ever." Would anyone care to challenge that?)

    carmensandiego says Oh, boy. You've asked for it :) Here goes nothing. I bought the Hanson CD several years ago because I heard a few songs, not just MmmBop, and they were so freakin' catchy I couldn't get them out of my head. I was in my late teens at the time, and at the beginning, I think, of really expanding my musical horizons. I was just getting into the good stuff like Wilco, Whiskeytown and that whole lot, as well as shunning all the things I heard on the radio like Creed. (I think that alone shows my tastes were above average.) Somehow, though, that Hanson CD slipped in under the door. To this day, my only defense is that the songs were, as I said, FREAKIN CATCHY, MAN!!! Think that would hold up in court?

    kristiana says vinyl in particular? lamest? Ya know, I was gonna say a toss up between "the best of Manos Hazikadas" (don't miss classics such as "I'm and eagle without wings" or "THE virgin of my neighborhood").... or Bryan Adams' Reckless. But damn it, I woulda been 9 or 10 when I bought Reckless, and ya know, there were some great riffs on that album. And Summer of 69? My 10 year old self was convinced by the nostalgia for the band (more so than the girl on her mama's porch) - I took it to heart, come to think of it. Oh god lord. I'm stopping now. If you're not talking vinyl, I can probably come up with something worse. Maybe.

    ivylander says Doesn't have to be vinyl. And hey, Hadjidakis isn't that bad. I used to have a record of his called something like "Lilacs In A Dead Sea" that a girlfriend appropriated after we split up. Sometimes I wish I still had it....

    funkybarb says If by lamest you mean no redeeming musical value then I would have to say All Saints "Saints And Sinners". And yes, that wasn't even all that long ago, so I can't blame teenage hormones. The best excuse I can think of is that I was living in London at the time and had not yet copped on to the fact that the British musical press are the most shameless hucksters. I believed the hype. I have left it in my collection as a reminder to never do that again.

    Lyla says on vinyl, probably sgt. pepper's as covered by earth wind and fire, the beegees, and more. on cd, well, i was really into the backstreet boys. i bought some hanson. i once actually paid for a coal chamber album. i had creed, but that was a GIFT. all of which means that i was once a very, very sad person, but i have recovered fully, or so i like to think. ...a few months ago i downloaded some savage garden, but only other people would think that was lame. certainly not me.

    Jonh Ingham says It fills me with shame to admit it, but I used to believe what they said in Rolling Stone. I bought King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King. I even liked it for a couple of weeks before common sense took hold again. It gets worse. I bought the second Yes album. The one with 'Roundabout'. There, I said it. I tried bravely to like that weedy little voice, those superior musicianly riffs. I failed and in a few days it was in Aron Record's used bin.

    Mike the Knife says Damn, Jonh! Have you heard "Yours Is No Disgrace" or "Siberian Khatru" lately? I'm no Yes apologist, and a lot of their stuff is long-winded mega-pretentioso bunk, but those two tracks...filled with "Wow!" moments. (Incidentally, Charlotte Hatherley name-checks "Siberian Khatru" in the lyrics to "Siberia," the end track on her recent album. Not that C.H. the magnificent would have any influence my opinion of Yes. Nuh-uh.) And I've never regretted a single recording that I purchased. My taste is THAT flawless. Or it hasn't wavered over time. What attracted me then still appeals to me now.

    dermahrk says Where do I begin? So MUCH shame to draw from. 1964. The start of a career full of dreck for the Bobster. Geez, and I think I bought at least one more record by this guy. I think most of these bad choices come from the inexperience of youth. Or something. Carmansandiego - catchy, indeed. I actually bought my first Hanson CD in Ireland recently when I saw one on sale (on sale, at Euro prices, means about $13 - what a deal - NOT!) Anyway, there is one Hanson brother with talent - not the drummer, and not the tall geeky guy. But he is weighed down to the point of drowning in brotherly mediocrity. So - my first and last Hanson CD.

    emscee says This one is tough. But I see here among my records something called "Having Fun With Elvis On Stage," which announces on the front and back cover that it's "A Talking Album Only." It came out in '74, and I must have purchased it, but who on earth would want to listen to 37 minutes of Elvis's mutterings between songs?

    ivylander says So far, I think mousetrap has shown the greatest bravery. Marie Osmond's gonna be a tough one to top. I mean, at least Bobby Goldsboro did "Little Things," which had that great 12-string line. That's worth something, although it doesn't come close to atoning for "Honey" or "Little Green Apples."

    SamTheButcher says I know the feeling you're talking about, ivy, so I know that there is one, I just can't think of it right now. There have been albums that I've bought that I've grown to appreciate, but didn't quite have the musical depth of taste to grok at the time. I, too, have the Hanson CD, but I still really like the tunes. I'm sure my "lamest" is probably something that I bought upon recommendation from a music magazine. Also, I'm not counting free CDs that I got as promos while working at a radio station/fanzine. That list would be way too long.... :)

    kristiana says I just want to be clear - since my above comment was cut up - that Reckless is NOT a lame album. It's always at the back of my collection, but in fact there are some great riffs on there. And summer of 69? My ten year old self responded to the nostalgia for the band (and not the girl on her mama's porch) big time. Come to think of it, I really took it to heart. Good lord. That's enough about my relationship with Bryan. As listed on my page, Prince was the first music I bought with my own money, but Reckless was the first record I bought. Not bad for a 9/10 year old. Especially when you contemplate the alternatives. And Jonh - I'm totally on board with ya, let's throw in Rush while we're at it, maybe? Yeeeah, I thought Manos would be good, ya know, while cooking Greek food or something. But it wasn't. Maybe I need to imbibe some Ouzo while I'm at it.

    Groon says First, let me say I'm dissappointed in the decidedly anti-prog bent this post has taken . . . :-) Some of those albums you guys mentioned are among my faves, but that's what makes MOG so great! For me, the worst "what the hell was I thinking?" purchase was Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic. I still shudder to think about it, and Aerosmith now is one of the bands that grace my Top 5 Bands That I Wish Never Formed list.

    Lizziegreeneyes says 1st off ... carmensandiego ... I have Hanson's This Time Around - and I have to say - in my opinion it's quite catchy has some great harmonies - and I can't help but be impressed with three brothers who are involved in almost every aspect of their music (think how young they were when they first started out) - I can't say I ever listened to their album with MMMBop. But "This Time Around" - I can put that on play and enjoy it for its pop infused tuneage. It's certainly not my favorite by any stretch - nor is it brilliant - but it IS enjoyable (in my opinion). My Third greatest shame would be for the album ... Bobby Brown - Don't Be Cruel. Second place goes to Debbie Gibson - Out of the Blue - think I listened to both of them a total of twice ... then they were placed on the shelf and never heard from again - though I will admit - one of my college buddies and I would sing Deb's songs while in line for our daily meals - these bursts of song were usually a direct result of being hungover or lacking major REM sleep. And the #1 all time worst album I've ever owned ... and it KILLS me to say this ... and I must preface the listing with "I got it so I could learn the song for a lip sync competition and thought it would be a crack up" ... Britney Spears - In the Zone. I still say the song Toxic is quite catchy - but I listened to that song a few times and decided I'd much rather go with Beastie Boys - Paul Revere !!! Ahhhhh, I feel so much better now ... ;-)

Here's one - haven't listened to it in ages - but I played these tapes like it was going outta style: Richard Marx - his self-titled AND Repeat Offender (in this context - the perfect second album title, no ??) I think I may have to see if I can scrounge around and get my hands on both to place on my iPod - nostalgia for those good old days !!!

    fistula spume says It's been a long time since I got something that I was all WTF!? over. I can't remember as I typically purge these albums the instant I get them. I will impart an album I got that was the worst thing in the history of ever. I called into a radio station when I was 16 and won a cd from their "prize stash". It was the most god awful album I've ever heard. It's by this (not even "awesomely" horrific) glam rock band called Roxy Blue. I was sickened when I heard it. I had to just throw it in the trash. This group was 10 years off the mark to put out such ugliness. You can tell how bad it is just by the cover. I still get sick to think of it to this day.

And Aermosmith is just . . . offers nothing new to the music scene, IMO, it's all the worst sort of annoying cliche-laden "testosterone" rock with annoying lyrics, annoying sneers, and annoying fans. (And, of course, it's not technicallly supeior enough!)

Both these albums were steaming turds that needed the controversy to sell them. I'm never in favor of censorship, but I would always offer the advice "Just because you can, should you?"

    El Monko and Son says All I bought when I was a kid was Kiss albums, so obviously no lame purchases there. Actually, the only album I ever recall buying (gifts obviously don't count) and returning was Van Morrison's Avalon Sunset. I am a pretty big Van fan, but compared to virtually every other album of his I had sampled (even the mediocre Beautiful Vision), I just thought it was excrement. Especially the sing-songy "Whenever God Shines His Holy Light." All that was missing was fake hand claps.

    mousetrap says ivylander said: "So far, I think mousetrap has shown the greatest bravery. Marie Osmond’s gonna be a tough one to top." Thank you, ivy. Your generous praise for my abysmal taste helps to temper my self-loathing....somewhat. The sad truth is that Marie's chart dominance here could probably be challenged by other items from within my own collection. From Kiki Dee to Toto to the 45 rpm single of "So You Are A Star" by the Hudson Brothers (remember their summer replacement show? Anybody? Bill Hudson? Father [with Goldie Hawn] of Kate Hudson?)....there's just a very dark, taste-impaired chapter of my life that I can't defend. However, I will say that the hands-down winner of The Lamest Record I Ever Bought would without question be: ...IF I hadn't been buying it for my sister, and with her money, because she was too embarrassed to make the purchase herself. Mortifying.

It literally hurts to contemplate it: The Backstreet Boys' self-titled 1997 album. I thought they were cute. Of course, they were, but since a CD is solely an aural medium, well, that doesn't help mitigate the pure, unleavened crap that is the sound coming from the speakers. Ugh. A close second? Roxette - Joyride. Except there were one or two OK songs on there. Still embarrassing.

Sorry, I'm projecting a little with this Seventies soft rock shite. Last weekend I went back to the town where I was an undergrad, 30 years ago, and was sitting in a pizza place on Saturday night listening to the exact same fucking music (see all bands listed in previous paragraph) that I heard when I was hanging out in pizza places after sixth period sociology. Not just the same genre of music. I mean the same bands, the same songs. And I hated them then, too. I can't tell you how depressing it was to feel that nothing had changed in all those decades. The same medocrities embracing the same mediocrity.... Hmmm....if I'm tipsy but not drunk, does what I'm doing right now qualify as togging?

    Torch says While a deep soul purging can be a highly effective means of healing, I need to take issue with one line of yours, Ivy: "...this transgression to the community..." The purchase of "bad" music can have a severely damaging effect upon the individual. Given the variety of tastes (and the apparenent room for differing ones), I don't think we need to thrust the guilt of embarassing the community upon anyone. As for me, it is a tough call. An obvious suggestion from the peanut gallery might be Vanilla Ice's To The Extreme. However, in that case, I feel no embarassment. I purchased that CD knowing exactly what I was getting, and felt it was well worth the $5 I slid across the counter at that quicky-mart. I can point out some albums with which I was disappointed: Nichole Nordeman's This Mystery or Geggy Tah's Sacred Cow. If you are going to paint me into the "embarassed" corner, I'm going to go with Usher's Confessions.

Now, I did remember a lame purchase that was recent: Gnarls Barkley. "Crazy" is such a powerhouse of a song that it dragged me into buying the whole thing. Not even the Femmes cover can save the album. There are some tracks that are okay, but man....mostly, I just don't like it. But I'll listen to "Crazy" until the day I die.

I didn't mean that owning "Tarkus" was a transgression to the community, but that he was courageous in admitting his personal transgression to us, the community. Does that make more sense? Because I have been humbled by the MOG-O-Sphere's collective candor, it seems only fair to admit that I once loved Su...(c'mon, Ivy, say it)...Sup.....(you've come too far already, you can't turn back)....Supertramp. I am a broken man.

    LyricalRevolution says As painful as this is for me to admit, here it goes. Eiffel 65 - Europop I made my dad buy it for me. It was for the song "Blue (Da ba dee)" - you know, the one about the blue dude who lived in a blue house with a blue corvette. Yeah.

  63. I am
    I am says Okay, Here's the list. Tubablooz Ish Human Sexual Response Thompson Twins (yes I paid for that mistake too) Whap a Dang Wang Chung (I have to admit to still liking the soundtrack for "To Live and Die in LA") Bananarama (What was I thinking?) Sigue Sigue Sputnik ( I got this one cause of Tony James and Blixa Bargeld, who knew it would be so intolerable) Eurogliders I could go on and on. Being a DJ I was on a lot of record label mailing lists. You can't imagine the crap I was asked to play on air. Sometimes I would get something good and most of the time I would get stuff that would make great targets at the pistol range. I am a sucker for slick packages and song titles. It usually ends in ruin.
