CDs you bought but never listened to

I bought Autechre's Confield about a year ago and never listened to it. There must be more CDs but this one kind of haunts me. Somehow I am afraid to listen to it and somehow I am intrigued. I never felt like wanting to listen to it. Too abrasive, not enough melody was what I thought. I don't go to the dentist on my free will neither...

So which records did you store in a cool place?

The Freddie Fresh album "The Last Family Man" has been hanging around for the past three months now... I just daredn't. I can't remember if I really loved or hated "Badda Badda Schwing", and I don't want to find out, really.

Listen to Confield. Don't be wasteful. If you don't like it, sell it.

I bought Conefield, lent it to a friend of mine, unheard, on the day I bought it, didn't see him again for 3 months, so he gave it to another friend to return, but in fact this second "friend" lost it. Fortunately my first friend had copied it, so made me a copy of his copy, gave it to a third friend who passed it back to me ...

and I just remembered I've yet to listen to it.

CDs and mp3 collections bought/download and still unlistened -- the amounts must number in their hundreds and then some.

Billy Joe Shaver, Salt of the Earth

i inherited a serious stack of snoring piano jazz from the 40-60's... i listened to some of it... but eventually sold most of it at a garage sale because i needed to lighten my load and knew i would need another 3 months to cycle that crap in. i stand to inherit several more stacks like this as the years go on... i'm THAT relative in the family... "give almeda's old albums to matthew..." he'll gladly have them.

Trout Mask Replica. Graham Coxon's third solo album. That one Manics album everyone thinks isn't shit.

There are plenty that I haven't listen to more than one song of, but I think I have at least heard some of all the cds I own.

Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits. Sarah Vaughn's Greatest Hits. Eos plays cage.

waddya know, the most tricky, reluctant-to-get-into-da-palyer disks aren't for me the ones i've bought myself
(tho' i kinda catched up with my purchased-and-yet-unplayed music only fairly recently: among the latest digested items was
Ole Lukkoye's Crystal Crow-Bar),
but it's rather some of the stuff that's been given as presents etcetc. that tends to remain idly lying around the longest

SuperDense Child 'Elvis Pig Farmer'

hang on, can i request a brief thread diversion to ask for details about this, uh, thing apparently named after my favourite ever fri/sat night armistice sketch?

stuff not listened to round here is generally cheap jungle mix cds or best-ofs for blues/motown artists where i think, "yeah, my knowledge of music is not complete unless i get this," and then i'm never in the right mood to stick it on

I still have shrinkwrapped:
Black Grape - Stupid Stupid Stupid
Prince - Emancipation
and a few others I can't even remember

That one Manics album everyone thinks isn't shit

What? There's a non-shit Manics album now?

― mei (mei), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Probably 'The Holy Bible'.

― James Ball (James Ball), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah. Booze-hyperbole. Sorry. Perhaps when I said 'everyone' I meant 'twelve people.'

― Ferg (Ferg), Friday, 24 January 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

All of them.

In case anyone's interested. I listened to Confield. I can't say yet if I like it or not but I am very impressed.

Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks Vol. 10 (San Francisco, New Years, 1977) -- Bought a couple other live Dead albums at the same time (four years ago) so i figured i'd save one to listen to "fresh" somewhere else down the line.

Also, Pearl Jam's No Code on vinyl -- i figured it might one day be worth something -- not that i'd ever be tempted to listen to it myself.
