Default Music you're embarrassed by

Records you bought when you were young but the idea that you did so is now embarrassing.

Paul McCartney - Mary had a little lamb. This was slightly forgivable as I was at school, didn't have any money and I wanted something else to play. I swapped it for something I had done to death but I'm not 100% sure what. It may have been The Tremeloes - Call me number one.

Yes - Tales of Topographic Oceans. Hey, at least I never bought an Asia album.
Dylan and the Dead - a complete travesty. I don't know what I was thinking. It has Bob Dylan in it, it can't be too bad...the Grateful Dead (a band I despise) can't ruin it too much
Trio - Da Da Da
Duran Duran - Rio
Beatles - Rock and Roll Music (a woman was involved...that early Beatles era is something I despise now...post Revolver is what I really only like now).

Pulaski, they were awful! At the time I thought I had quite good taste (Santana, Can, Amon Duul, Pink Floyd, Cream, Atomic Rooster, Blodwyn Pig, King Crimson, Pink Fairies, Led Zeppelin, etc) & then I had a rush of blood to the head & bought GFR!

PS: Founder of Can died today, aged 79.

Another idea for a thread would be guilty pleasures.

Land of Make Believe and One of Us (ABBA) would be my 2 suggestions...cringeworthy dirge but for some reason I am a fan (could be the people involved).

I'd rate GFR above about half of your "good taste".

I once bought an Osmonds single, but that was okay.

It was Crazy Horses and almost heavy.
