Albums you wish you had never bought and don't play

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Yes , Drama ........a complete pile of horse dung

White Stripes .......first album .......rubbish

The Strokes .......student nonsense

Suede ........see above

Pink Floyd ......Division Bell .......burnt out cobblers

Pig Destroyer ......Prowler In The Yard ...........I like my guitars but that was dreadful

Today Is The Day ......an hour of feedback , growling vocals and gut wrenching bass

Swans ......almost every one of their albums is unlistenable , I quite like avant garde stuff but this lot are barking mad

Kiss ......every album after Dynasty , a great pop glam rock band in their day but washed out by 1980

Black Sabbath ....13 .......riffing by numbers , only played it 3 times

[Eric the Half a Bee]

No mention of Gina G?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

No mention of Gina G?

Far too left field for me

[Tuerto]

No mention of Gina G?

He's not allowed too, as stipulated in the restraining order.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

The Darkness , second album , useless

Great live though

[valleys caveman]

Arctic Monkeys ‎– Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino.
Really like all their other albums, but the above is dreadful in my opinion.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Van Morrison too long in exile

Should have stayed there mate , hopeless nonsense

[tricks]

I’ve got Swans’ Holy Money Sludge. I play it when I want some me time. Mrs opens the door, says what’s that racket and leaves. Simples.

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

Albums were often a rip-off. Like one song? Here's 11 more you won't like. That'll be £13 please. No wonder sales dwindled. Trying to get rid of a stack now but even Music Magpie doesn't want half of them.

I think I listened to that Sabbath album once. I listened to the last MBV album once too. I just bought an album by Jane Weaver on the strength of one song (and previous albums) and I have to say it's a little disappointing. I can't say I really regret buying any of them though.

I didn't buy it, but about 20-25 years ago I received a present of Duran Duran's Greatest Hits.
Not sure where it is now, but I think it still has the cellophane on it.

my shelves are creaking

Its time for a cull

There’s not much music that I really dislike, but that’s how I feel about the Strokes and I’ve never really been sure why. Maybe it’s because of annoyance at me being taken in by the music press’ “next big thing” hype which persuaded me to buy their first album without having heard anything by them.

I will stamp on it for you

they were crap

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

whitesnake slide it in

Whitesnake were a superb rock band until coverdale decided to turn them into a poodle haired fake metal band , mixed in with dreadful power ballads

Love hunter, Come and get it , great albums

Anything after that , throw in the bin

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

motorhead , anything after ace of spades and the live album no sleep till Hammersmith don't even bother

[The Bloop]

A few years ago I bought the David Bowie Singles collection. Never really been a big fan but thought he was someone I should to listen to and appreciate.
I've tried, but after 1 or 2 tracks I'm just bored and switch it off. The odd song in isolation is fine, but a whole album, no thanks.

I am like that with Bowie, Dylan , Springsteen , Elton John , Abba

Even Rod Stewart I have a greatest hits collection of

Having a collection of these artists albums would not interest me

Same as Zappa

Far too self indulgent but strictly commercial is fine , all his accessible stuff on one cd

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

I bought Tilt by Scott Walker which is a loooong way from his crooning days. Experimental, squeaky gate music (as Ian McMillan calls it). I thought it might be worth sticking on ebay but many have had the same idea.

Rich kids helped along by daddy's modelling business. Attractive women at gigs = Record contract.

They were just a fairly standard Cars/Velvet Underground rip off, though their most recent album is pretty good. Most of those US post-punk revival acts are pretty over hyped imo, Interpol head and shoulders above the rest of them

Precisely.

The record companies and in particularly the publishers made a lot of money off people like me (and then unbelievably again from some people when CDs came around!!!) so their demise with the arrival of file sharing and now streaming was long over due and to be welcomed.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Tygers Of Pan Tang .....The Cage .......one good song , love potion number nine ......which they didn't even write ....the rest all garbage

Micheal Schenker Group .....Assault Attack .......drivel

Rush after Presto ........kept churning out the albums , the odd good moment but should have knocked it on the head

[Des Parrot]

I once bought a Russ Conway album. I’ll leave it there.
