What's the most embarrassing CD in your collecion?

[IanDork107]

I saw this in the Symphony X board, figured it would be good for a laugh. The most embarrassing for me is all the Nu Metal shit I listened to when i was like 13 or so. The most embarrassing thing that I still like is prolly some cheesy ass Power Metal like Lost Horizon or Rhapsody.

You call that embarrassing?? Here's some of my "embarrassing" CD's:

- A-HA - Hunting High And Low (the first CD I ever bought)
- SLIPKNOT - Slipknot
- All KORN CD's (except the new one)
- GARBAGE - Garbage (pretty good disc!)
- PET SHOP BOYS - Please
- PET SHOP BOYS - Disco
- PET SHOP BOYS - Introspective (some youth sentiment)
- Some CD-R with some 2001 disco/pop/club hits.

I also own 3 Madonna LP's, a Kim Wilde LP and a A-ha LP.

Please explain how Lost Horizon are cheesy, without making it obvious that you've completely missed the point with that band?

Don't take it the wrong way, I like em a lot, and i get that they're going for that "Metal Warrior" image. I just think its like a childs fantasy, to pretent to be a warrior. I think it's quite cheesy for a grown man to sing operatically while dressed as a "warrior," especially because this is the year 2002 and there really arent any warriors anymore. I guess IMO, fantasy is cheesy, and thats why I consider almost all power metal cheesy. But it's not bad, I'm not putting it down, but I can't ever bring myself to take it seriously.

Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish blah blah
Powerman 5000 - Tonight The Stars Revolt!
Tool - Lateralus

LB: When I was into nu-metal crap.
Powerman: Same thing I guess, although I listen to that album sometimes.
Tool: Bought it, listened to it for about a week.

 

[Kovenant84]

I'll raise you Oasis, Smashmouth, Third Eye Blind, 3 Bend Folds Five cds, and President of the United States of America. (I don't know if this counts though, be cause technically I gave all but the Ben Folds stuff to my sis).

Rhapsody - Dawn of victory
Metallica - Load/Reload

I think i saw Lost Horizon on the 2000 decibel festival...yeah those 40 seconds whilst waiting for the car to arrive. Talked to them on the autograph thingy though, nice guys, but i didn't know who they were at the time

I also saw some of the Dream Evil set...they crack me up.

 

[InMyKingdomCold]

Well theres the Korn self titled hidden deep within my drawer <cringes>...its from the nu metal days <cringes again>.

 

[Akerfeldt]

Slipknot - s/t
I have a Manson CD too....I dont remember which one

I don't own anything I'm embarrased about. I usually sell anything I don't listen to.

 

[Alex78]

Marylin Manson- Antichrist Superstar!!!

 

[SecretFace]

....Vince Neil - Carved In Stone

 

[Scytheman]

I have a bunch of pop cd's but I get the ones that would will make you all here laugh the most are Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory and Slipknot - Iowa

 

[huevo]

My most embarassing would be Brian Austin Green's "One Stop Carnival" .. he was the white rapper dude from Beverly Hills 90210.. I bought it as a gag gift for someone else, but somehow it ended up in my collection. It's truly hilarious, and bad.

 

[Scytheman]

Btw, A-HA rules! "Hunting High and Low" is an amazing album! Ain't I metal to the bone!?

 

[SentencedToBurn]

yea whats wrong with a-ha?.... A-HA RULES!!!!!!!

i have a bunch of cds that i guess im embarased to own. like a bunch of 2 unlimited cds (2 unlimited forever!) and presidents of the united states of america cd. i cant think of any else right now but i know i have more.

 

[Greenwater_Pond]

I think I've got most of that beaten.

Anyone here remember a british band called Take That?
When I was about 10 or 11, I bought all their CD's, and it was pretty much all I listened too, but basically it's your typical boy band.....as soon as I discovered metal about a year later, I pretty much wanted to rid my memory of that stuff.

embarassing metal CD's would probably be

Theatre of tragedy - Musique
Sepultura - Against
Testament - The very best of (not very good choices for your best fellas)

 

[mindflesh]

Why should I be embarassed about CDs in my collection? If you mean CDs of which I "grew out": A Blink182 album, Offspring's Americana (though I think if I ever feel the strange urge to listen to punkpop, this will be the right album), and a cd by the Bloodhoundgang. I also have 3 Marilyn Manson albums, but on rare occasions (well, VERY rare occasions ) I still pull them out for a listen.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot Halford's Resurrection, I don't know what had come over me when I bought that one

1- Lost Horizon's songs are not about fantasy and the band is not a 'fantasy' band.

2- While I think the outfits and pseudonyms are awful, there is a point and reason for them that ties in with the concept of the album. There's a difference to me between cheese and simply a bad idea.
