I bought within the month of its release A Flock Of Seagulls' fourth album, Dream Come True; it was utter sts and remains to this day the only vinyl album I ever physically chucked in a bin.

What's your worst?

AFOS's first three albums remain in my collection; they are of merit smile

I only really liked the first AFOS album - 1 of my favourites from that era.

Worst...quite apt for a car forum's music section. The head of Lamborghini fancied himself as an electronic musician in the early/mid 80s and released an album on Lamborghini Records. I played it once and never again. I remember it being awful, like a bad Tangerine Dream, but maybe I should revisit it sometime. Just looked him up - Patrick Mimran. I used to buy a lot of things unheard with synths on back then. An album by The Berlin Blondes was another. Like a very bad English Kraftwerk.

I dispute that! I had that album! Their version of Wild Thing is great! hehe Didn't have Black Pudding Bertha on it but did have Nappy Love. Ahem. Rather unfortunate title...

While I agree with your first comment, I can't possibly condone the second! hehe

Hm. After having listened to the first five minutes of Roland Rat, I fear you may be right. hehe Ah well, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Not that I was expecting to gain much, admittedly.

I've just looked, I seem to have all the Goodies albums. There's only one on my AK though. I don't like them enough to go to the trouble of digitising them.

Back on topic. I'm not entirely sure what my worst album is - I quite like most of them, even the rubbish ones. I suppose it'd be some East German thing a friend of mine from the old DDR sent over as a pressie years ago - Wolfgang somebody, I think it was. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was so terrible. smile

Probably the Tubes double live album, I admit to buying it off the back of the hype and controversy without knowing what they sounded like, and I thought they sounded like garbage. A bit like Kiss, all image but the music is terrible.

hehe Next time the Polish lads rock up at 4am in the car park next door and blast out their forbidden from their wife's house can't techno-more Euro-pop, I'm going to give them a good dose of this in return. Truly dreadful, all of it hehe

ETA: Was that Nigel Owens' voice I heard?
