OK so while I was off work last week I took a trip to my parents shed & dug out all my old vinyl that was kept in there.
A lot of it i`d forgotten I had and a most of it was totally cringeworthy.
I also started off sorting out my CD collection and have dug out a load of horrors from that too.
So here is a list of the most embaressing albums in my collection so that you can all have a good laugh at me.I`ll also include a vote so you can vote for the most embaressing album out of the lot. Please take into account I was about 12 years old when I got some of this stuff. Shame I can`t use that as an excuse for all of them
Anyway . without further ado , the cornucopia of crap i`ve uncovered from the Urban vaults ......
Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony
Wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank wank .
Craig Goldie - Hidden In Plain Sight
Now i`ve no idea why I would want a solo album from someone who was the guitarist in Dio for less than 5 minutes , but when I was in my early teens it seemed like the most obvious thing in the world to go out & get this power metal cheesefest.
Poison - Look What The Cat Dragged In
Lets be honest , nothing I say here is going to make any difference.This is undefendable.
Pretty Boy Floyd - Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz
Like Poison wasn`t bad enough.Maybe it was the steller artwork that wowed me into buying this....
Maybe not then.
U2 - Achtung Baby
It was a gift , i`m convinced of it.
Robbie Williams - I`ve Been Expecting You
It was an ex girlfriends , i`m convinced of it.
Kid Rock - Devil Without A Cause
F*ck ! , I`ve got nobody to blame for this one other than myself,I`m pretty sure it`s unplayed coz I can`t remember a single song off it.
Green Day - Kerplunk
In my defence this was pre MTV (I mean the band wern`t on it yet , not MTV not existing) , it was also pre internet. Once every couple of months in the early 90s i`d treat myself to an album by mail order from a shop in London called Shades who specialised in imported American rock music. Sometimes I came across good stuff (Sonic Youth , Husker Du , The Nymphs) sometimes bad (Pretty Boy Floyd , and GREEN DAY).Based on a good reveiw I bought this ****, and actually liked it ....for about 2 months.
I Only Wrote This Song For You, A Tribute To Johnny Thunders
Featuring such well known artists as David Johannsen , Micheal Monroe from Hanoi Rocks and .....................umm
I`ve never heard of anyone else on it to be honest.
The Spaghetti Incident - Guns N Roses
Hear Axl Rose pissing his ego over some of your favourite songs and pay for the privilage.
Yngwie Malmsteen - Odyssey
Call me stupid , but for some reason the same teenage me who thought that a Craig Goldie solo album was worth buying also thought that Yngwie Malmsteen having ex Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner in his band might make him listenable......NAHHH.
Tigertailz - Young & Crazy
The British answer to Pretty Boy Floyd...... From Cardiff
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Ok you`ve released some of the most pinoeering music of the 80s , albums like To Mega Therion & Into The Pandemonium are basically a blueprint of what was to lay the foundations for black & death metal of the 90s.
So how do you follow up these early pioneering albums?

You backcomb your hair & make a glam metal album ......oops
Celtic Frost never regained their credibility after this.
The Vines - Highly Evolved
Proof I still make mistakes even now. This was the last album EVER i`ve bought due to magazine/record company hype.
It ain`t ever happening again.
Let`s All Laugh At Urban
*stares at Urban In disbelief*
