I still have some Paula Abdul stuff too, "Promise Of A New Day" was always my fave song of hers. NKOTB I won't touch with a stick -- that one is a bit TOO cheesy for me, sry2say.

I thought about it - but seeing the video Michelle posted confirmed that it'd be a baaad idea

"Hangin' Tough" was pretty bad, but "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)" is even worse. I look at that now and I'm like, why did I ever like them?

Of course, I say the same thing whenever I look at an *N Sync video.

I own the above from that list - not too many is it

Actually, I got rid of that Asia one last week - they are appauling. And the ACDC one is my brothers, but we share albums, so I count it as one I own...

I am shocked by how many there are here that I have. And so few are humiliating. Asia being the top shame album.
The number of albums sold by Lionel Richie and Phil Collins is astonishing. They got loaded making schlock !

Aren't Asia total ****! I bought their new album on a whim a while ago, along with the one listed above - and it was horrible.

Lionel Richie I can't stand (except for "All Night Long") but I love me some Phil Collins!

I HATE Lionel Richie with a passion - I mean, I have serious hate for his music - there are some artists who should have retired a long time ago, Lionel Richie is one of them...

As for Phil Collins - I love him! His greatest hits is a must for any collection...

We agree?? Holy crap.

Absolutely. And whenever I bring my cds to work with me, my coworkers insist that Phil gets played at least once.

He is nothing more than a bit of fun. We love playing his greatest hits at work - everybody knows all the songs and can sing along - 'Against All Odds' is my fav.

I do like "In The Air Tonight" and maybe two others. But "Sussudio" kind of cancels all the good out. WTF is Sussudio anyway? It sounds like either an exotic Italian meat dish or an STD.

I suppose though, if that song cancels out the good PC songs, than "Desert Angel", "Silver Girl" and "Jane" can collectively cancel out all the good songs done by Stevie and all past and present FM members combined.

My favorite is and always will be "In the Air Tonight"

When that drum kicks in it always sends chills up my spine. But really, I love all of his stuff, and I think I need to complete my collection.

I don't like him as much as you obviously - he has too much cheese factor...

Anyway, what the hell are you doing replying to this thread - Im sitting here waiting for you to reply to my PM!!!

But I like it anyway.

Yeah, I can't let one bad song spoil it for me. If I did that, then my Lindsey fanhood would've ended as soon as I heard "Oh Diane" for the first time. Ugh.
