the worst cd you ever bought?

when i was 12, in 1997, i was heavily in to techno (read: hard house, eurodance, cheese trance, happy hardcore). the very same year i had bought a few thunderdome compilations at a chainstore called Εhlens in sweden. not exactly satisfied with what i had found, i decided to go for another kind of compilation. i picked this beauty up in the bargain bin:



my god what a travesty. here's the tracklisting:

1 Sax (3) – Encore Une Fois
2 BB Cue – Flash
3 Silverdust – I Have A Dream
4 Futuristic E – Why Don't You Dance With Me
5 She Can – Offshore
6 Red 5 – Da Beat Goes
7 Grooveyard – Mary Go Wild!
8 Ventura – Birds
9 BB Cue – Seven Days And One Week
10 Central Seven – The Opera
11 X-Man (6) – Satisfaction Guaranteed
12 Airscape – Cruising
13 DJ Philip – Reach Out
14 Vincent De Moor – Flowtation
15 B-Rave – Pure Emotion
16 Grooveyard – Beats Included V.1.2.
17 Sash! – It's My Life (Natural Born Grooves Remix)

instead of licensing the real tracks, the mecado label had people do terrible cover versions using aliases resembling the original artists.

yours?

I believe this to be one of my first cd's ever bought :x I think I was 11 when I got this one. On a brighter note, I remember buying this one around the same period. :)

Can't say I've ever bought anything truly embarrassing, like Barry Manilow or E-Rotic's Greatest Hits.

I do have a handful of mixcds/compilations, however. Worst of the lot is probably this or this. The former is more or less a disc full of simplistic and painfully formulaic epic trance that captures everything that was wrong with the genre around the turn of the millenium (I still like John Rees vs Helios - Beta Blocker, though). The latter has one disc of thoroughly bland, samey and uninspiring trance, and another disc of that god awful UK hard house-stuff that was so popular in Norway at the time.

back in my happy-hardcore phase, which lasted all of 2 months. but everything i purchased during that time was atrocious to today's standards.

probably this. i like todd edwards and i think his stuff used to be really good and to be honest, there are a couple of cracking tracks on that but almost every track on that record sounds the same.

on that note also there was this one record by this awful british band. i don't really count that as that was a bargain bin buy for less than a quid and fact of the matter is, it wasn't even worth that. i've threw that one away after the first listen and i don't even remember what the band was called. i believe one track was called "children children" or something.

Armin van Buuren – Imagine or Oceanlab - Sirens of the Sea :(

Though I bought them on iTunes. Physical-wise would be Armin van Buuren - State Of Trance 2007, I think it was 2007 at least.

I don't think I listened to any of those albums a second time :stongue:

For me it was A State of Trance 2005. Bought it blindly after loving the 2004 mix. I just remember it being an Ableton Live mix Armin did, and I didn't like hearing all those tracks spliced in together.

lol OP should upload that knock-off CD:tongue2
