    Confession time
    OK, if you are brave, or, stupid, what do you have in your music collection that you really don't want your buds to find out about?

    I'll reveal a little. In accepting free vinyl and buying cheap bunches, I've hung on to a couple secret, not sacred, pieces. Stuck somewhere between Def Leppard and the Doobies I have a couple Neil Diamond albums. I usually try to listen to an album before discarding it and I found the Diamond albums to have excellent sound quality and some of the music isn't bad. Also, in that area between Charlie Daniels and Def Leppard if you look hard you will see a Doris Day album. This is a mono album and again the sound was surprisingly good. I.... just kept it because I like... one of her movies, yeah! that's it.

    That's as far out on the limb as I'm going until you show me yours.

    I have a Partridge Family CD. As a little kid, my cousin and I used to watch The Partridge Family and I have such great memories of the two of us and that time in my life. Several years ago I saw this Partridge Family disk in a sales bin and I picked it up on a whim. I think that I listened to it once, threw up, and it's never been played again. But it is kind of neat to have around just as a reminder of being a kid.

    If its in my collection, its there for a reason. Nothing to confess or hide.

    Now where the hell did I put that Ktel Disco Explosion disk. Play that funky music and (shake, shake, shake) shake your booty! :ciappa:

    Ok, I admit to having a Yanni cd that I don't even remember where it came from. I had a couple INXS cds that I traded in. Apologies to any INXS fans but they were just not my thing. Oh, and I have an unopened 30 year old vinyl copy of Grand Funk's "All the Girls in the World Beware!!!" http://www.grandfunkrailroad.com/69to99.htm What was I thinking???

    Don't laugh...I have a Creed CD, "My Own Prison"...Gotta admit....there were 3 or 4 catchy riffs on the album, not to mention the occasional odd time signature.

    Got some Styx and Chicago in there as well. Actually, the Chicago stuff from their cocaine years isn't all bad, and it's all very well recorded.

    I see some Foreigner CD's in there too, but I swear they're not mine (honest).

    My wife's obsessive fixation with Sarah MacLaughlin and Ben Folds clutters my CD racks too.

    I have just spotted "REO Speedwagon - The Hits" in the rack, can't be? Can it? What Hits?

    It's not mine.

    I got worse. But it didn't work. I still won't say.

    That's actually her uncle, Barney Spears.

    Hey, why do you have "Frankenpenis" under your moniker?

    Does that mean it needs technology to rise from the dead?

    I think that would fall under the catergory of TMI (too much information)

    Guilty? Yes. A pleasure? No.
    I have Elvis Costello's North in my sprawling collection.

    When I saw it in the store for the first time I thought to myself, hey I like a lot of his songs and it's SACD. A no-brainer, right? Nope, this is one of those instances where I should have read some reviews on it first. I should probably give it to my grandmother.

    NP: Loose Fur - Born Again In The USA (which is very good, BTW)

    I think Dusty might end up being the weiner, I mean winner, if we can verify he actually owns Barney & Brittany. "I love you, you love me...."

    I also have a couple Yanni. I wonder if his female violinist has any solo albums. I have about 3 Creed CD's, there's no shame there, they rock.

    The Partridge Family is ranking up there pretty good too. Several of those TV/Pop groups usually have at least one decent song though. The Partridges, I Think I Love You; The Archies, Sugar Sugar. Well, I can't think of a Bay City Roller song, let alone one I like. I remember Sugar Sugar came on the back of a cereal box way back in the early 70's.

    I remember that. It was 1970. I couldn't get the damned thing to lay down flat.

    I told my grandpa it was my band. You know, like we couldn't get a wax deal or something.

    A neighbor kid told me Tommy James & the Shondell's was HIM. He said, "Oh yeah, I had a beard and long hair."

    BTW, 2 weeks ago I saw The Banana Splits on a bootleg trade list.

    Well, what the heck...
    ..I have Elton John's "Yellowbrick Road", and I don't know why, although I do like the song "Funeral for a Friend". Despite the dreadful schlock that has become his staple over the last couple decades, I always liked his very early stuff, especially 11-17-70, Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water. I know there are more sins in my cd cases, but I'd have to dig deep to find them.

    The Banana Splits, that takes me back. I saw that show a couple years ago on that cartoon channel called Kaboom. Our cable company don't carry it but Dishnet did. Kaboom is a cool channel, it's like TV Land for cartoons.

    Oh yeah, I have that too but mine's $1.00 thriftshop double vinyl, at least. Another mint thriftshop LP I have that pretty much sucks is Rod Stewart's POS Foot Loose & Fancy Free, but the 75 cents I paid for this is worth it for "I Was Only Joking" alone. Great song but stuck on a horrible album.
