[br]We've all done it. It had a cool cover, someone reccomended, it sounded good when you were in an "altered" state. Now it sounds like noise, makes your lip curl, cats yeowl. You may have convinced yourself you liked it then cause your friends were into it, but now you just can't, it just hurts. What album/CD in your collection is the oddest and you just can't bring yourself to listen ever again?

Cosmic Overdose was the band; can't remember the album (though I still have it soemwhere)....I think they were Swedish or something...and the song I liked was "Investera". Weird stuff - still listenable today, imo.

<br>The oddest album during the new wave era by far has to be. the group "Pictures" that had a self titled album Released in 1983, this album's cover really says it all.<img src="http://tangento.net/PICTURESArt3.gif">
It is just loaded with all sorts of disturbing
Bad Craziness and frightening childhood nightmare-type scenarios.
This album has musical elements that were (and still are) WAY ahead of their time -
and to this day, I have yet to hear anything else quite like it.
Itook some of this from this site

This is one of the best oddity sites around complete with alot of free mp3's
