100 Albums You Should Remove from Your Collection

Yet another music thread. Came across this site from another forum, and was quite dismayed to find that I have 12 albums in my collection on the "get rid of it now" list. Why oh why do I have to discard my beloved Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos albums, why?

100 Albums You Should Remove from Your Collection Immediately

I have 2, and like half a dozen more.

I like a lot of these albums, but the author makes some great points, especially about Bob Marley. On Legend:

"Now it's my turn to get up and stand up for MY rights. If you don't remove this from your collection, I will."

I have 3 of them and I'm keeping them.

But the commentary is damn funny.

Celine Dion - Colour of My Love
This freakish French Canadian warbler is... oh fuck it. You already know this sucks.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
These "funksters" are a testament to the triumph of style over substance in modern music. Once you get past the tattoos, piercings, and tube socks on their cocks, the Chili Peppers were just another over-hyped L.A. band. Don't accept anything less than 50 cents when you sell this disc at your used record store. Give it away give it away give it away now.

Nirvana - Nevermind
Yeah, yeah - I realize that this is the one that broke grunge's doors wide open and made Seattle a place to be reckoned with. Are we sure that's good? At best, Nevermind is an overrated Pixies tribute album that was blasted from every goddamn dorm room I skulked past in college (instead of the Pixies). Not to mention the fact that alt-rawk stations have bled this album of any magic it might have had by overplaying it. Fair to middling at best, but not the Second Coming. And "Smells Like Teen Spirit" IS the "Stairway to Heaven" of our generation, folks. This is the record you will embarrass your children with.

Oasis - What's the Story, Morning Glory?
Let the wash of guitars subside for a minute and just listen to the lyrics of Britpop's object d' art. Lots of June-spoon-moon rhyming, eh? So you say. Let this be the day. To sell your copy on Ebay.

Heh..

I am a bit peeved that they didn't include any Metallica on here (chiefly their entire song collection).

U2 - The Joshua Tree
Oh, to be earnest, politically correct, Christian, and filthy rich. It's been 15 years since the birth of this critical and popular favorite, and U2-worship still hasn't been eradicated. When will it stop? When you do the right thing and retire this pompous collection of religious rock songs, that's when.

He's just jealous that U2 has lasted for over 20 years and is still selling millions.

He does have a point. I absolutely adore U2, but they can come off as being a bit pretentious and preachy, and this is Joshua Tree's only flaw. Achtung Baby, now there is a ass-kicking rock and roll album with none of the J. Tree's pretentiousness.

aphexmonster · Post by **aphexmonster** » 2003-04-18 11:37pm

Damn, there are hella good CDs on there xD ... thats messed up. Joshua Tree is like one of the best U2 CDz ever... they're great. I do agree with the celine dion however... ew =/

I don't need someone else telling me what they think I should listen to.

EDIT: I have six of the albums listed.

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2003-04-19 12:12am

I don't have any of them, course I also don't own a single album in the first place

What kind of list is that? There were a few good albums on it, perhaps they should have put actual crap artists like Britney Spears, N*SYNC, or Limp Bizkit. Hell, a good part of the rap acts nowadays stink, I'm sure you could fill up the list with just them.

Those are too easy. This guy is going after the less obvious stuff.

The Posies - Dear 23

We're so smart. WE didn't get married in college. WE didn't even go to college, so now we'll write songs making fun of everyone beneath us. (See King Missile's "Sensitive Artist" for details).

Download this song RIGHT NOW. This is the funniest thing I've heard in quite some time.

I'm "clean" but my sister's gonna be pissed when she find's Zep's Physical Graffiti on there. They actually said Kashmir sucked.

Fucking heathens...

That's one of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs.

Macy Gray - On How Life Is
They say this was a real tour de force. Nu-Soul, they call it. Right, and she sounds like Nina Simone and Sly Stone. Jesus people, you'd think There's a Riot Goin' On was out of print. This fluff will have the longevity of a fruit fly.

I hate Macy Gray. Especially because she tore attention away from female artists who didn't sound like Donald Duck after a pack-a-day cigarette habit over 20 years.

Sokar · Post by **Sokar** » 2003-04-19 01:15am

This guy's full of shit, this list is full of great albums, although I will admit we could do without Fugazi, preachy cockmongers....... I own, lets see, 30 of the listed albums.

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2003-04-19 01:31am

Nirvana - Nevermind

The Beatles - Let It Be

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band

Grateful Dead - ALL RECORDINGS

The Doors - The Best of the Doors

This guy is one sick fuck. One of those whiny motherfucking so called rock purists with no respect for some of the greatest works of all time.
