What was your most disappointing album purchase?


Since we have been listing “best debut albums”, I thought I might ask which albums members purchased, based upon one song, and with the expectation that other songs on the album would be good, but that album was a big disappointment.

I will start with the album by the group, Six Pence None The Richer, that had their big hit “Kiss Me”.   The rest of that album was trash!  Nothing I wanted to listen to and I found it hard to believe the same group had done the hit song.

This question might seem similar to “One Hit Wonders”, but I think it is different, as usually those groups made other music that was at least listenable.   My question refers to albums that had one listenable song, period!

Enigma MCMXC a.D. was genius by Michael Cretu. The CROSS of changes was the beginning of an exponential curve to the bottom.

At least now you can test the music on Tidal or your choice, and go for the vinyl if good.

I remember the days you could request your lp and go slip the head phones on and test that way. Time has changed for sure. 🇦🇺

My darling wife introduced me to “It’s a Beautiful Day” artists and Lp in 1970. Studio version of White Bird is the only version worth appreciating. Agreed! Their album “Marrying Maiden” was good too. From there on they lost their way. 🇦🇺
