This topic is always good for a laugh, and I could sure use one...

I went looking through some of my collection while boxing up a bunch of my music to get ready for my move. I found a few turnips in there, here they are in reverse order (to purposely reveal the magnitude of their crappiness):

3) Godsmack - Awake - This is a pretty terrible follow up album to a rather mediocre but enjoyable debut that offered some promise...These guys have just gotten worse ever since. I can't believe I sold this on ebay for $9.25!!!

2) Metallica - Load - As I recall, when I bought this album, it was in the "Alternative" section of the music store...fitting, because I certainly wouldn't call this Heavy Metal. These guys never really rebounded from this bomb.

1) Creed - My Own Prison - I actually bought this...yup....paid real money for it...bought it off a friend's advice who told me these guys were the biggest baddest underground rock band in America that year (1997?)...he told me in a few years these guys would have tons of immitators and start "the next big sound" in music. (well, I guess he was right, but...) I haven't spoken to this guy since 1999. So c'mon, if I can fess up to this, you can fess up to your "coasters"!!!

I've got quite a few other lemons, these are just ones that I passed on the sale rack at the CD store across the street this morning!
