Thanks Vince for clarifying Faith No More's Angel Dust disc in what it has done for music. I have always felt the same but thought I was in a minority (although I know there is a lot of FTN fans here on HTF). It absolutely kicks ass in this day of manufactured pop bands and with each year just sounds so much more sweeter.

how about these audio tapes i have. Billboard top rock hits of 66 featuring the monkiees, and the trogs. i also have somewhere in my house the power rangers soundtrack which included the red hot chilli peppers, devo, and van halen. yes those are good bands but i get flack from my brother that i still have it.

I'm reluctant to admit this, and in my defense I didn't order this. I think it came in a cd club and I never returned it or paid for it, but I think it'll beat you all...Vanilla Ice :b I've not scene it for years, but I'm sure it's still lurking in a box somewhere. I keep all my and my wife's CD's in my mega changers, but not this one for fear it might play when I have it set to random.

Its funny, a friend of mine just went over this topic the other day.

I own three, (yes three) David Hasselhof CDs. My parent's lived in Germany for a few years and my mother asked me what I would like from there. Knowing he's big over there, I asked, jokingly, for a DH CD. Imagine my surprise when she actually brought me one!

Then it became sort of an obsession to own more.

Now, I jokingly pull them out at parties just to hear the groans.

Since my last post, I have added an album of Broadway show tunes by Tom Wopat....who's better known as Luke Duke from "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV show.

No....haven't purchase the "Utimate Manilow" CD yet....waiting for it to come out on SACD/DVD-A.

OK, I'll play - I have a couple of Partridge Family CDs I tend to keep hidden away in the bottom of the rack. I even bought 'em myself in a fit of "growing up in the 70s" nostalgia. :b
OK, I know it's a fake group (excepting Shirley Jones & David Cassidy's vocals), but the discs have some decent pop tunes written by ex-Brill Building songwriters. I mean, how can you NOT love "Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque"?? ;)

Spandau Ballet's True.
Back when this album debuted (1983?), I read where the members of Spandau Ballet had realized that much of the music in England was of the loud, raucous punker variety :emoji_thumbsup: but some people still wanted to hear some graceful & classy tunes. So SB made some. So I of course had to check out this anti-punk stuff.
Oh man, what mushy stuff! This album is ultra-slick, full of glitzy intrumentation and lovey-dovey vocals (I'm not good with technical musical terms)--playing this at a Misfits concert would immediately bring everything to a screeching halt and possibly require the services of the janitorial staff's mop & bucket for some attendees. And get this: Sade used to design their clothes--I'll admit they do look pretty classy.
But I can't lie: I like it! True is so over the top it's hard not to.
Check them out here. (heck it's been remastered and enhanced. SOMEBODY is still buying this album :D)

A lot of Spandau Ballet's other songs were a lot 'harder' and better than True- it's a very overplayed song. I know this much is true!

Somewhat embarassed to say that I own a "complete" collection of Night Ranger CDs.

Still listen to them from time to time...still like the tunes....

Other early 80's guilty pleasures include ASIA, and Quarterflash...anybody remember them?

I have Asia's first album (good IMO) and Quarterflash's Take Another Picture on vinyl (semi-good). Rindy Ross was sort of a Pat Benatar wannabe.
I would love to hear that Asia album remastered--on both vinyl & CD it sounds pretty grainy and bass-less.

I own all of the Steve Perry-era Journey albums, including Dream After Dream.

BTW, Faith No More's album "Angel Dust" is probably one of the greatest rock albums of the last 20 years. Waaaaaaaay ahead of its time.

I personally love "Communication" from the Spandau Ballet album. Can't wait until it shows up as a SACD. Their follow-up to "True", "Parade", is very good as well. Remember the song "Only When You Leave?"

OK, I will admit I have a CD/VHS boxset of one of Debbie Gibson's albums.
