What's the most cringeworthy or downright awful single you've bought (so far)?
Mines is either Cliff Richard and the Young Ones Living Doll which i bought because i liked the Young Ones (but not Cliff Richard).
I also bought Kylie Minogue 'The Locomotion' when i was 14, luckily i no longer have that single!:smile:

    I got Orville's I Wish I Could Fly on 7" when I was 6.

    Thankfully I have no idea where it is now :D
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
    I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

    Some Peter Gabriel era Genesis albums. I would never leave them visible around the house even though I do actually like them a bit.

    :-o

    My parents bought me a Smurfs album when I was a kid, 6-7 maybe.

    The Wombles album though, with birthday money... I don't remember the exact date (or name of the album) but Remember You're A Womble and Wombling Merry Xmas were on the album.

    Makes current chart music sound like annoying repetitive chav rubbish...

    ...oh wait

    I would have said it was Modern Talking's 2nd album, back in about 1985 or 1986. Trouble is, I didn't buy that.

    I nicked it :cool:

    Space Invaded.

    Awful renditions of Sci-Fi films, some with vocal introductions, such as a Tommy Cooper sound-a-like saying, "ET PHONE HOME!"

    Tragic.

    I had that Smurf album. Infact, I have it on my iPod (along with my Mr Men tape) :-D

    I bought that Zig and Zag single AND I was old enough to have known better :-(

    Haha! My ma used to be involved with a lot of animal charities which used to have Summer fayres, fairs, faytes, jumble sales, fundraisers, and the like. When the big boxes of vinyls came through my house weeks leading up to the events waddya reckon happened ? :lol:

    I've gained several cheesy disco records and the like from boxes of crap people didn't want, my most prized vinyl turd being "All Together Now with Rolf Harris" I think it's from 1969? :lol:

    Best vinyl I own :D

    Problem is... we never considered those songs to be cheesy at the time lmao. Don't make 'em like they used to - good or bad? LOL.

    I also had *cough*, tweets - birdy song.

    And some others:

    Matchstick Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs - Brian and Michael
    Jesus Christ Superstar (the album)
    Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me
    Dennis Waterman - I Could Be So Good For You
    Thompson Twins - Doctor Doctor
    Technotronic - Pump up the Jam

    Probably was a few others but my memory ain't as good as it used to be.

    Admittedly, I liked Pet Shop Boys early stuff.... :)

    Not embarrasing at the time as I was only about 6.

    Singles-wise, probably Bruce Dickinson & 'Taste' ft. Mr.Bean - Elected. But it was for charidee mate, so that's a let off...

    Albums-wise, probably Daphne & Celeste - We Didn't Say That! . Got a very weird look off the cashier in the record shop buying that one, aged about 25. Think I was probably going through a bad patch :-(

    first song I ever owned, got given to me though so not my fault :)

    Agreed, pump up the jam is not really embarrassing, far worse early techno pop type tunes

    You certainly were!

    I remember seeing them at the Phoenix festival and the moshpit was throwing bottles of piss at them. Slipknot were on after and were worried by the hostile crowd apparently, but they were just putting on a special performance for D&C.
