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

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

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.

they were crap

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

What? Bowie, Dylan, Springsteen, John are of no interest? Maybe Abba, but even that is questionable. The first four have been some of THE most influential musicians over the last fifty years. You may as well chuck in The Beatles, the Stones, and Zeppelin, and just ignore everyone.
