"The Hokey-Pokey". First grade: they'd make us do this insane dance ... to this very annoying "instructional" record. Beatle-mania had already broken. My sisters had Elvis records. I knew what real music was supposed to be. At recess, I snuck back into the classroom and broke that damned LP into so many vinyl shards! Being the teacher's pet - they never suspected me. I got away with it! Ha-ha-ha! HA-HA-HA!

Not sure of an exact record but it would have to be something Tom Jones or Englebert Humperdink which I was forced to listen to at every party my parents ever threw as a kid.

I was around 10 years old and a Zeppelin fan and I picked up The Firm's first CD and to this day I don't understand how Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers could birth something that sounds so dated in the mid-80's.

Dated, but good. Most of it anyway.

Aerosmith- Draw the line lp= a piece of crap
Bobby and the Midnights- I am a huge dead fan, but this never did it for me.
Neil Young- Reactor.........blah

Back in the day my rule was if it's played on am radio it sucked..so having enjoyed Journey's first 3 albums, I bought Infinity..listened to it 1 time(pop) and filed it to the garbage pile..never regretted it.

I had that AM rule also. LOL

I hear you on Journey too. I really like those first 3 albums too. I stuck around for one more album than you though. But once Rolie was gone, the only parts I like are the solos and not enough to get me listening. Too much Perry was........well too much.

Shame that more people have not heard the first three. I always called it a blend of Zeppelin and Santana.

Definitely had the same rule.
I think the 1st record I bought that I hated and threw out was T Rex.
Many years later, I kinda like Electric Warrior

Here is one to scratch your head on..When Dark Side of the Moon came out all I heard was Money so that ruled applied also. Finally bought the album a late 80's early 90's, Still can't stand Money. Except for the Wall I enjoy all their other albums, including the Final Cut.
