What is the worst record you have ever bought?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

In the pub on Friday night we had a - really quite long - discussion about this album, which I paid good money for at age 14 (on audiocassette). I think it is probably the worst record I've ever bought, though I admit I haven't listened to it in almost 20 years.

What's yours?

haha my then flatmate bought that Roger Waters LP when it first came out. We were both big fans of late Pink Floyd. Even back then it was rather obvious that it was a mis-step, to put it mildly. Little did I know Waters would never record anything good ever again.

As part of my 365 Days Project a couple of years ago I had to buy and listen to some right stinkers (along with many fantastic records). Perhaps best not name names... oh alright then Built To Spill, Ludovico Einaudi, Boo Radleys and Loren Mazzacane Connors + Christina Carter all spring to mind as in the stinker category.

But I should really give you an example of something I bought of my own volition and was expecting to be good (or at least interesting) but wasn't. I will ponder and get back to you.

despite listening to the wall, final cut and YES even Radio Kaos quite a lot, back in the day, i have never heard any of Pros and Cons.
