exactly that is it. the nostalgia, even if its crappy there was a time where youve got a reason to buy it, if not you wouldnt have it. so keep it

I used to freaking love TMBG when I was younger, but right now I kind of cant' even stand the sound of them. But who knows how I'll feel in a week, month, year, years?

Hhaha oh man. The Distillers are one of the worst bnads ever. I dated a girl once who was in LOVE with them.

Yes, I was foolish for ever buying an Arab Strap CD. Remind me to never trust Matador.

I match your Arab Strap and raise you a Nightwish album. Century's Child. What the fuck?

HECKLER SPRAY 08.21.2008 12:30 PM

The Pixies - Bossanova
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (I was probably drunk)
The last Trumans Water, disappointing....

Samesies.

atsonicpark 08.21.2008 12:38 PM

the second song on that bloc party album is alright.

HECKLER SPRAY 08.21.2008 12:43 PM

Yeah, but it's just a remix of an old song.

HECKLER SPRAY 08.21.2008 12:43 PM

Like 1/4 of this album.

Word up. "Hate" was okay.

I still haven't bought her latest shit fest. Which is tough for me because I'm a huge completist. I'm still buying Beck's albums for fucks sake..

noisereductions 08.21.2008 01:03 PM

I like JUKEBOX a lot more than THE GREATEST.

Most of it ? I don't have it but from the song list if 1/3 may indeed suck the other 2/3 are great (in my taste at least).

Torn Curtain 08.21.2008 01:18 PM

Regarding Siouxsie & The Banshees I regretted having bought Join hands (it's the only one of their albums I find very weak though - apart from 2 ou 3 songs).

Torn Curtain 08.21.2008 01:24 PM

Weirdly there are a few albums that I utterly stopped enjoying, and after a new listen a long time later I really loved them again. I don't know it that happen to you too.

Glice 08.21.2008 01:49 PM

I've got some pretty rank CDs that I've picked up along the way, but mostly they get re-distributed to a more appreciative owner. Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes, which I thought was rubbish, was given to someone who now really enjoys it. So it all works out well.

I've bought records twice, thinking I'd meant to buy it before (I had 3 of the same Patsy Cline record at one point) when in fact I recognised it from my own shelves.

The one that gets me is that I quite like Pavement a million years ago, and I have at one point owned all of their albums, long after I realised I couldn't stand them.

Trompe le Monde is probably my most listened to Pixies records.

I'm not sure if I'd include things like the non-essential Pulp albums in this though - does it count as regretful if it's completism?

Torn Curtain 08.21.2008 02:10 PM

Jeff Buckley - Songs to no one (very bad selection of songs with Gary Lucas, they haven't even included The masterpiece No one must find you here).
Jim Hendrix - First rays of the new rising sun
The Pretenders - S/T
Lou Reed - Transformer (I much prefer Berlin)

gmku 08.21.2008 02:17 PM

Funny, I see a lot of albums listed here that I absolutely love. Guess just proves that one man's trash and all that.
