Worst CD evs

Stereogum starts a discussion of the worst or most embarrassing CD you ever bought. His is the second Spin Doctors album. The comments, over 200 of them, are hilarious: everything from C&C Music Factory to Linkin Park, Nickelback to Asia, Phil Collins to Snow. One guy even had 3 Richard Marx CDs.

Of course, some of the goddamned hipsters want to prove their cred by saying that their worst is something like Frente! or Kula Shaker. Both of those albums are great, and nothing to be ashamed of.

It would be hard to pick the worst of a quarter century of terrible music I've owned, but here's the shortlist:

• Bryan Adams- Greatest Hits
• Melissa Ethridge- Yes I Am (I sold this like 3 days later, though.)
• Gin Blossoms- New Miserable Experience (Although, in my defense, I bought it after I saw the video for "Hey, Jealousy" on 120 Minutes.)
• Roxette- Look Sharp! (I rocked the eff out to this album. It was on cassette, though, so it may not technically qualify for this.)

I know there's more, and I'll update this post when I remember them. And no, I don't consider Vanilla Ice to be either bad or embarrassing.

So, what are yours?

UPDATE: Annie's got her wiggerific list up.
