Embarressing LPs

Everyone has one! It's the one album that you bought despite it being incredibly uncool to even admit knowing that you're aware of the artist!

There is one LP in my collection that I almost daren't admit to. At the time you have to understand that I was a goth/new romantic - I was keeping Rimmel afloat with the amount of eyeliner I wore and everything in my wardrobe matched because it was all black. So what is that one embarressing LP that no one would possibly imagine that I could have owned and listened too often at that time?

I'm not going to tell you - until at least 10 people have admitted theirs! Then we can share our embarressment and face the world together.
 
I recently bought one of those record players which plugs into your computer so you can record them in MP3 format. The most embarrassing albums I found in the loft would most probably be Bros & Brother Beyond! I'm just going through my old singles now to record them and found a few Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy & Deeply Dippy, my teenager has been rolling his eyes and saying 'sad' quite a lot!
 
I have all David Cassidy's albums, quite a few of The Partridge Family as well, a few - dare I say it - Bay City Rollers ones but my most embarrassing is probably The Muppet Show Album :)
 
I actually had the very first Nolan Family LP, before the sisters became famous.

As I have now given away my lp's do I out the ones who have it now :rofl38:
 
I don’t care what people think about my musical taste and not one single record or CD that I own is an embarrassment to me. My musical collection ranges from the 1920’s to about 20 years ago from big band to traditional jazz to pops to classics. Chuck in some folk music by the Wurzels and Houghton Weavers for instance, some good old skiffle from the fifties and a selection of recordings by Stan Freeberg that make me laugh.

Even the Stan Freeberg recording of John & Marsha isn’t embarrassing - for all its sexual suggestiveness.

In a nutshell if I like a recording, I like it and that is that and I don’t care if the rest of the world thinks that it is naff. Although in the last 20 years or so there hasn’t been anything that grabs my attention. It is just background noise to me.
 
my childer both say all my music collection is an embarresment
cohen..doors..van morrison..nick cave...stones..who...
endless and timeless but embarrasing i think not :cool::cool:
 
must agree, i have loads of stuff that may be called CRAP but to me it was/still is great so i`m not embarrassed by anything......so what if i have the first Kylie album, i liked it once of a day.....lol:D
 
I have very wide tastes in music and my LP/CD collection goes from Classical to Rock'n'Roll, Big Bands to Folk, Film Musicals to Pipe Bands. No, nothing I've got is an embarrassment but my daughter keeps threatening to buy me a Foster and Allen CD for Xmas. :eek:

I`d guess it would be the Slik album, as you were quite proud to have the Marilyn album if I remember rightly :D:D:D:D
 
I’ve just remembered I like Jimmy Shand and his band too. Foster and Allen are great also – in small doses.

Exceptional avatar West Ender. Two of the funniest screen comics the world has ever seen.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Off the top of my head it must be the Nolan Sisters, but i have probably a load more when/if i have a look.

There is no such thing as Embarrasing music, it all depends on who you listen to it with.

Gayle, the chance is up to you! (All you need to do is let me know how embarrasing you need it to be!).
