I think I'll "win" this thread if we go by most embarrassing song/album.


I might have that beat...

Great White's 1989 Twice Shy album for Once Bitten, Twice Shy

That song was the shite back then! I was 10 years old and rode my bike to KMart. I stood there in the music section for like an hour because I couldn't decide between Great White or Motley Crue's Dr Feelgood album.

Once Bitten Twice Shy - For old times sake

The Car's 'You Might Think' - vinyl (Heartbeat City)
The Police's 'King Of Pain' - cassette (Synchronicity)

For the life of me, I can't remember the first CD I bought.

My mother bought me Pink Floyd's The Wall at TG&Y. Got it for "Another Brick in the Wall."

My first CD was the first volume of now. I think sex and candy was the main song that caused me to buy that. I still remember the commercial.

As far as a singular artist, "stunt" by the barenaked ladies. "One week" was the song of course, but I think I expected some other song on there that I thought was a barenaked ladies song but was actually by matchbox 20. I bought another couple barenaked ladies albums looking for songs by matchbox 20. I don't regret Rock Spectacle though... shite was tight.

I became a metalhead a year later. Oh I'm sorry, there was a discussion on most embarrassing first albums?

Guitarzan - Ray Stevens in 1969. My brothers and I split it 3 ways. In our defense I was in 5th grade and my brothers were younger.

After I heard "30 Days in the Hole" Humble Pie's "Smokin" became my first album ever.

I ripped off Columbia House for all kinds of Kiss and similar albums when I was a kid.

The first album I remember buying with my own money that I earned, after getting paid at my store job and riding my bike to the record store, was Van Halen Women and Children First.

I got the 8 track from the wall of tapes behind plexiglass with holes for your hand. I remember an older guy was looking at a small display of "cassettes". I wondered why in hell he would buy that.
