The bad + good of your music collection

**ifk101** · 05/04/2007, 8:17 AM

So what's the bad and good of your music collection?

The bad for me is;

1. Evanescence's Fallen (The only positive with the album is that I didn't actually buy it)
2. Lamb's Best Kept Secrets (Utter drivel that would have best been kept secret)
3. Green Day's Doolittle (Fun at the time, a bad headache now)

The good;

1. David Bowie's Hunky Dory (Timeless classic)
2. The Soundtrack to Ocean Twelve (Big fan of soundtracks esp. David Holmes soundtracks and this is fabulous colllection of tunes)
3. Death in Vegas' The Contino Sessions (Grand stuff)

The Bad:
Ja Rule: The Last Temptation: The only decent song was a remix of an old Pac song. The rest of the songs are absolutely terrible. The guy's a joke.
Sash!: It's My Life: I liked it at the time but listening back to it now is a horrible experience.
Limp Bizkit: Choclate Starfish: Can't believe I ever liked them in the first place. They are terrible.

The Good (In my case albums I didn't expect to be so good)
The Arcade Fire: Funeral: I was sceptical of buying it but it is truly a brilliant album.
Prince: Purple Rain: Amazing album. Not much else to say about it.
Royksopp: Melody AM: Really great album. Nice and relaxing.

Mazzy Star - She Hangs Brightly (can't recommend enough)

**DmanDmythDledge** · 05/04/2007, 12:06 PM

The bad;

1. Scissor Sisters- Scissor Sister; absolute shíte.
2. Franz Ferdinand- You Could Have It So Much Better; expected it to be somewhat decent after their earlier success
3. Dizzie Rascal- Showtime; jaysus

The good;

1. Oasis- Stop The Clocks; pure quality.
2. Arctic Mokeys- Whatever People Say I Am I'm Not; great debut album. Nice variety of songs too.

**Pauro 76** · 05/04/2007, 12:31 PM

The bad:

Lost Prophets - Liberation Transmission:
I quite liked Start Something, but this was just pure annoying ****e.
Red Hot Chilis - Stadium Arcadium
Stupid title, some abominable tracks amongst the good ones, cant believe 'Hump de Bump' as a new single, career suicide that is. Not how to do a double album.
Audioslave - Revelations Just a sh!t album.
Korn - Life is Peachy - cringey and just shockingly bad...

The good:

Radiohead - The Bends, Still a belter and better with age
Strokes - Is This It a great debut album
Rage against the Machine-RATM - Still makes me want to smash something.
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream - Timeless and still a classic

What?
B.R.M.C is a quality album, and the band are great. You should get Howl is completely different from the first album more of a blues vibe to it. And if ya don't like that there is no hope for ya.

I second that emotion, and if Kowalski pops onto this thread anytime soon Leixlip Red will be running scared. Only took BRMC out of the closet the other day for the first time in ages. Brilliant album can't think of a bad track.

**Kingdom** · 07/04/2007, 9:58 AM

Good:
Kasabian (self titled): Great album, could listen forever.
The Chemical Brothers Dig your own hole. My fav album from my favourite music people.
The Stone Roses (self titled). This album got me into music. Can't pick a bad song off this album.

BAd:
Tortoise- Standards. They didn't have any, twas an ironic titled album. It was also shyte.

The Clash Combat Rock. desperate, Rock the Casbah isn't enough to save this.

**LeixlipRed** · 07/04/2007, 1:03 PM

That BRMC album is rubbish. Don't know about any of their other stuff. I generally don't purchase another album from a band were first album I bought was crap. But if one of you guys want to buy it for me feel free to do so

Armand Van Helden - Killing Puritans, what was I thinking ?

The Good

Ten - Pearl Jam, still great
Ritual De Lo Habitual - Janes Addiction, released in 1991, way before its time, pure rock at its best. Three Days is the best song ever.
