Count Down: 100 albums you must *not* own...

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

(sort of inspired by an old record collector 100 punk albums you *must* own, net thrown wider. )

As serious or as spurious as you like. An album that is bad, poor, offensive, offensibly poor, that you feel implicates anyone who owns it. Or because the quality of the album is terrible. Or it gets on your nerves.

Rule 1: You must now the album reasonably well, although you do not have to actually own it at the moment
Rule 2: No-one to argue against a previous entry, (except for maybe a couple of ??'s) (this is always good fun)
Rule 3: I was going to have some exclusions on the basis of 'no-one would disagree' i.e. nazi/fascist etc, but decided agains it, as these might actually be interesting reading)

OK,

100. piano magic "writers without homes". pretentious dreck. only two good songs, one of which is less than a minute in length. not improved in any way by the presence of the otherwise glorious vashti bunyan. without a doubt the worst record in glen johnson's sizeable catalogue.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

99. shelleydevoto "buzzkunst". one good song with fairly awful sounds, the rest is awful songs with very awful sounds. too unbearable to be truly dull. a hideous blight on their otherwise reasonably good names.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

99. Extra hot sauce : Taco of Death...

Wandering around amsterdam, into a pretty cool record shop (its on a corner of 60 degrees angle, you know the one), heared the funniest cover ever, of "Freebird", I had to have one. The rest turned out to be the most offensive rubbish about aids and homophobia ever heared in the guise of comedy. The cover of paranoid was ok though.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

oops 98 that one.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Buzzkunst isn't THAT bad. i agree that it can be dull, but i kinda like the sound of it. i usually put it on whenever i've been playing Suicide's American Supreme to death.

― tod (tod), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

rule 2...:)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:33 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry, mark.

― tod (tod), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

97 - Dido - No Angel (Mercifully I don't own this, but my downstairs neighbour likes to crank this piece of aural drizzle at 9pm prompt every night, so I am extremely familiar with it in a muffled form. I would prefer never to own this album, and for the ritualistic playing of it to end, post-haste).

― M Carty (mj_c), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

96 - Beautiful South 'Cary on up the charts'. Thou shalt not play it on a Sunday morning while washing the car / preparing lunch

buy a fucking radio

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

94. Hood - Cold House

All the signs were good, Anticon guest spots, Bark Psychosis style surges and all that, but the singing!!!!!! So utterly bedroom it made me feel like I was listening to someone's awful 4-track demos, so I sold that sucker pronto.

― mzui, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm, let's think about this a second... an Anticon fan is complaining about Hood's vocals? ;o)

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

93. Jet - Get Born. If you are as uninspired, earless and imagination-free as its creators, by all means own this album and play it with the windows open in the front room of your fucking student hovel. Perhaps you could even beg your local record shop for a giant promotional poster of the album to use as a backdrop, and glance out the window every minute or so in case someone looks in and thinks, "Goodness! That boy sure knows how to bring the rock to the local community."

Otherwise, buy pretty much any other rock album ever made instead of this whack of cynical cockcheese.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and 94 - the permitted ??

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

NickB, so true, so true, just goes to show the macro divisions in what one can and can't take.

― mzui, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

92. Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap.

Well it could be any of theirs possibly, but this is the only one I've heard all the way through. Excruciating uber-schmindie.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:43 (twenty-two years ago)

C'mon you guys.. Let's have a really xxxxx album that's actually offensive to own!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

91. Random Hold - The View From Here

The miserable sound that a bunch of posh guys with *credentials* (Matching Mole, Gong, Quiet Sun) make when they discover *new wave*. Unintentially funny for all of 2.76 seconds, then just plain embarrassing. They're so determined to be paranoid and 'cold-war' that they make Ultravox sound like something you might throw on to get everyone in a party mood.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

90. Lil Jon & The East Side Boys - Kings of Crunk
It improves once it gets to the 'slow jamz' section in the middle - well. this bit made me laugh anyway - but those first eight tracks... dear oh dear. just appallingly bad.

(note: rule 1 not strictly followed, but I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna play this all the way through again)

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

89. Spin Doctors - Turn It Upside Town
First album I ever bought. Lacked the hits of the Doctors' debut. Contained lots of awful 'wacky' 'funky' posturing. It is an album that nobody should own.

― Sym (shmuel), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 10:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh that was the first CD I ever bought as well :(

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

How old are you?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

88. Adeva- Adeva

Jonathan Davies' step-brother's band. Have a guess how it sounds.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

87. Dr Bombay - Rice And Curry

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00002429D.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Second-division Europop album whose gimmick is that the singer 'browns up' and does his vocals in comedy Indian voice. Staggeringly awful and doubtless highly offensive.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

what no mention of Ocean Colour Scheme yet .. amazing. my own addition .. the new album from Drew .. 4 stars in new issue of Q ! fuck all in my house - tres boring.

― mark e (mark e), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom, I thought you of all people would've dug Dr. Bombay. "A Tiger Ate My Family" is hilarious.

(Sorry for stretching rule number 2.)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

But yeah, I guess it is offensive. I bet it's different to listen to it in Finland than in the UK, though.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

you have to give it a number, mark, or iot doesn't count ;-)

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

its too boring to be allocated a number. but here goes ..
86 - Drew. nuff said.

err..maybe i should go on amazon and try and remember what the actual title was. and i DO own this, but only because somebody sent it me for review, and i can't find anyone else that wants it.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:13 (twenty-two years ago)

'i believe' that was it... well, i believe too, tim, just not in you.

four and a half stars on amazon. which says a lot about amazon reviews.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuomas - I'm 23. I stuck with taped for about a year before graduating to the digital age.

Dom - if you must *not* own the Dr. Bombay record, how come I've just resolved to purchase it on sight? Explain that away.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

although, really, just own what you want. if it makes you happy, and doesn't hurt anyone. hell, even if its daniel fucking bedingfield..

and if you want a copy of tim's album, you know where to come.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

DJ Mencap - I too purchased it on sight.

(I have no idea what number we're up to here)/ primal scream "give out but don't give up"

Some of the worst music in the world, combined w/some of the worst lyrics in the world, sung by the worst singer in the world. Thee apotheosis ov record collector rock (or something like that anyway)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

84. Primal Scream - Vanishing Point.

The foulest of stools dropped by this diseased arse of a group. After the utter misery that is 'Star' you think it couldn't get any worse. But it does. Yes, sir. We get the life-sapping dirge of 'Stuka'. Then...there's bad and there's the grotesque 'Medication', in which Bobby and our heroes (Throb, Innes - wankers all) redefine embarrassing as only drooling, junkie half-wits in thrall to all that is noxious about rock an roll can. Fucking terrible.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

ok that last one warrants an ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? from me

84. Moby '18'

stretching an already watery schtick way too far without changing anything at all

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

82. Primal Scream 'XTRMNTR' - "Pills". "Pills". "Pills". "Pills". "Pills". "Pills". "Pills". I think they did this record in an understandable fit of petulance re their previous two masterpieces being cruelly misunderstood and underrated.

― dave q, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

81. Sly Stone, Ain't But the One Way

I'm not sure a rock god ever fell so far as this. Apart from the erratic yet interesting "Ha Ha Hee Hee," *sad* is the only word to describe this burnt-out, phoned-in effort from one of the greatest.

― Joseph McCombs, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

???? to all of dr c. 's choices so far, i'm afraid. particularly the first. but then i clearly am one of those sad uber-schmindiests to which you refer.

if we're putting fallen-god albums on, then jimmy cliff's 'fantastic plastic people' deserves mention. excrutiating at times, including songs like 'jersualem' with the lyric 'palestinians don't like israelis, israelis don't like the palestinian'...
yes, jimmy, that's a fair appraisal of the situation.

maybe the fallen-god thing is a separate thread. its probably already been done, as well.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"Sonic Flower Groove" is the only one I'd have in the house, actually, and that only for jim beattie's awesome rickenbacker 12-string playing. Bravo, Dr C!!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

- Well yes, but exactly these comments are even more apposite when applied to the album Primal Scream (see also S/D: Guaranteed career-killing words in record titles to see how this also proves Siegbran's rule that self-titled albums that are not the debut will not tend to be awfully good.

Hey I'm not done yet. There are hundreds of clunkers to be dealt with yet - Bjork, Pearl Jam, Pavement.....

Can Tanya headon keep up with Dr C's hate?

Dr. C, you must not forget the Dandy Warhols!

Or Jeff Buckley

I have a few of these albums, but I don't care. I'm glad Nick Drake is in there though.

Good job I was here to fix it.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 18 March 2004 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

gee thanks, Captain Stewart

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 18 March 2004 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't ask for your thanks - the knowledge that the world shall sleep safer in it's bed tonight is thanks enough for me.

How come no-one nominated this http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005NY53.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg ?

Rule 1: You must now the album reasonably well, although you do not have to actually own it at the moment

who'd admit to knowing it?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 18 March 2004 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

My girlfriend bought the fuckin' thing - against all my advice, of course - and then insisted on playing it repeatedly for several weeks in the vain hope of finding some small redeeming feature so she wouldn't have to admit that she'd been wrong and I'd been right.

So, I know it alright, oh yes, I know the unspeakable horror...

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 18 March 2004 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, she still maintains that she likes the song "Too Bad".

Personally I think the title says it all.

On the plus side, since buying that one, whenever she picks up a CD in a shop that I'm sure is going to be cack, I only have to raise an eyebrow and say quizzically "Nickelback?" and she puts it straight back again.

Now I'm aware that this may sound a little heavy handed, but when it saves me from having to endure the likes of http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00008G9JD.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg then I think the ends justify the means.

Where's the U2 hate? Where's the Starsailor/Travis/etc hate? Where's the Durst/Nickelback hate? Where's the undie hate? Where's the fucking Mr Bungle hate?

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 18 March 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

You people got me, got me questioning...

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 18 March 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I was going to contribute, but there's like twenty really good albums on there, people, jeez...

Yeah, I wish there had been more obscure choices and less "hey, didya know that (insert highly revered piece of the canon here) actually sucks?", cuz frankly we've had enough threads based around *that* already.
