First record you couldn't stand....
"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!
and Louisiana Lou was an embarrassment
Thanks. Louisiana Lou has been playing in my brain all weekend.
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.
