So ever buy a cd you looked at and said "why did I buy this?"

[dorktv]

I did that today. Dwight Yoakam's Guitars, Cadillacs, etc, etc.

[crim son]

1. Oh yes.

I bought a collection of opera favorites last year. I soon realized my taste is not as eclectic as I thought :)

[Broken_Hero]

2. Yes, I've done that a few times...

What happens most though, is that I buy a cd for 1 or 2 songs tops...and the rest of the CD is bunk.

[idgiehkt]

3. Guitars, Cadillacs, etc. KICKS ASS

yes, I am now revealed to be a total hillbilly dork, but that is some seriously good neo-traditional country music. I love the song "It Won't Hurt", that used to be my favorite drinking song.

edit: also, I love the duet with Maria McKee called "Bury Me", she really lets loose on that song which I haven't heard her do too much.

great live performance of "It Won't Hurt"

here's "Honky-Tonk Man"

looking at these early videos I can really see why I thought he was so sexy back then...rowr.

4. Haven't heard her do too much?!

Dang, that's what she does most of the time. YouTube has some great Maria clips (look for a live performance of "I Found Love" from the Lone Justice period). She fucking rocks--one of the most underrated singers out there.

[idgiehkt]

10. I seem to only hear her slow songs.

But then I haven't really pursued it. What I have heard her do doesn't really compare to the hillbilly twang she does in Bury Me. Thanks for the info.

I think she's a great writer, I love the song of hers the Dixie Chicks cover called "Am I the Only One".

[Shakespeare]

12. Have you heard any of the Lone Justice stuff?

If not, try to get a CD. There's a really good greatest hits CD that I cannot recommend highly enough. Damn fucking shame that group broke up as early as it did.

And YouTube has bunches of clips of her and of Lone Justice.

[idgiehkt]

13. I remember Lone Justice

And it seems like I remember a song...I really liked them, and then boom they disappeared. :( Good to know about the greatest hits CD, I can download some of it when I get some dough after x-mas.

[Shakespeare]

14. "Shelter" was their only chart hit....

...but she just tears it up on songs like "Drugstore Cowboy," "Rattlesnake Woman," "I Found Love," and does a nasty (good) cover of Tom Petty's "Ways to be Wicked."

[dorktv]

23. Oh good, now I do not feel lame.

I do like his acting a LOT. I think he is marvelous in The Three Burials.

Yeah he is still a looker for a 50 year old.

[TommyO]

31. Dwight Yoakam as a whole kicks ass

I love his Christmas album!

[dorktv]

39. Is NIN the only band ever to not put out a Christmas album?

Does the Christmas album have O Come All Ye Faithful?

[Left Is Write]

5. Many times.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

6. Dwight Yoakam's good.

:shrug:

[dorktv]

24. I have bad taste in music so anyone I like is most likely awful.

[Beausoir]

7. God, yes. The White Stripes. Worst music ever made.

I listened to it once and then begged my teenaged neighbor boy to come and remove it from my house.

Even he didn't like it...and he likes everything.

[Crap_in_a_Hat]

28. A gift for you

[Beausoir]

35. LOL! Thank you! I thought I was the only one in the universe who despised them.

Absolutely bad music.

[Shakespeare]

29. I, too, detest the White Stripes, but LOVE LOVE LOVE The Raconteurs.

My jaw hit the ground when I found out the Raconteurs is Jack White's group. Really great retro rock--listen to Broken Boy Soldiers back-to-back with the Beatles' Revolver. Great stuff.

[TimeChaser]

8. Um.... Creed

:hide:

[hopein08]

36. I'll second that! I did it twice! n/t

[Nicole]

9. Lots of times

I'm a Dwight Yoakam fan & I don't care much for that cd either. "If There Was a Way" kicks ass. "This Time" is pretty good too.

[dorktv]

27. Well I was actually looking for Wanda Jackson but they did not have her!

[Omphaloskepsis]

11. Artist: Shotwell

Album: Celery, Beef & Iron


Only because Aaron Cometbus was the drummer... Oh sweet god, it was horrible.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I never buy anything without having listened to it a few times.

[Omphaloskepsis]

19. I always thought of you as a smart guy...

This method you choose, informed consumer.. The RIAA is unhappy. Please buy the entire album for the one good song. We will both win, well, actually the RIAA wins, and you get fucked in the ass.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Fuck the RIAA has been my motto since I was 15.

I'm Canadian too, so fuck them even more, haha.

[mvd]

16. I like that one

Also like the mentioned White Stripes. I did buy a Michael Bolton CD when I was younger, though. And a few others I regret.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Sorta

Turned out to be the wrong version of "Acapulco Gold." x(

[pinniped]

18. Ya, Moby's Play.

I only wanted South Side with Gwen Stefani.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

21. Is that the same as looking at a CD

you just bought? :shrug:

[6000eliot]

22. That's a fantastic CD, IMHO.

[dorktv]

25. I actually like This Time more...I have listened to Ain't That Lonely Yet

a billion times and normally I hate bad English.

[Blue-Jay]

26. I bought a Barnes & Barnes CD.

It was in the Dollar Rack, but I still bought it.

I took a fish head out to see a movie,
Didn't have to pay to get it in

[SPKrazy]

30. Guitars And Cadillacs and Hillbilly Music

the only thing that keeps me hanging on

yeah, I wouldn't have gotten that thing either!

:rofl:

[TommyO]

32. I think I have a Peter Gabriel-less Genesis CD somewhere

that I just roll my eyes at and think the same thing, "WHY?"

[philosophie_en_rose]

33. Yes. The Beatles "Love"

definitely not an improvement on the originals.

[Kutjara]

34. "Rock Me Amadeus" - Falco.

'nuff said, I think.

[mike_c]

37. um-- I have about four feet of shelf filled with CDs I can't figure out...

...why I bought. I used to buy a lot of music "on speculation." It's often not very successful.

[gemdem]

38. Not a CD, but some ABBA albums...

I bought them years ago, and I look at them now and wonder what the hell was I thinking.
