One's I own
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty (but I lost it and haven't tried to replace it)
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (some of it is okay)
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom (I have a weakness for women singing)
Offspring - Smash (Offspring just has some fun stuff)
Nirvana - Nevermind (I don't bother to listen to this one, damn band gets so much overkill on the radio)
My wife owns a lot more on that list, but I don't count those as we have completely different musical taste (if you call what I have taste) [Reply]
In the main, we have not selected easy targets for removal -- we know that you know that the Milli Vanilli album you've got stashed away in a shoebox isn't exactly kosher. Nope, we chose critical darlings and must-have releases from the past and present. Some will bristle at our audacity for questioning the worth of any Beatles release or blithely pissing on Jane's Addiction's "masterpiece." Some will maintain that we're not qualified or that we'll never make an album as great as Dark Side of the Moon and accordingly should shut our traps. The approval an artist seeks by releasing an album is not guaranteed, even if music moguls, "tastemakers," and critics agree that it is merited. As music listeners, we've taken on the very modest project of flipping through our collections, listening to them, and separating the good stuff from the bad. If the creators of the "greats," the "classics," and the "hits" want to ensure that their efforts get the praise they deserve forevermore, they should take care that they are only accessible to sympathetic critics and fans.
That list isn't too terribly controversial. It's easy to mention the worst stuff from generally good artists as not worth owning. Mix those with some critic's picks that were never that good and before you know it you have 100 albums. And why would "best of" stuff even be on there? [Reply]

Hopefully, that album never made it to your collection and, if it did, you have already figured out that it should be removed and never talked about publicly. [Reply]

I have it... still do, right here as a matter of fact. Keep f***ing doubting Hootie! [Reply]
