What's your most disappointing song?

Postby BeauBeau » Wed May 19, 2004 9:57 am

Almost all of us have gone on mad searches for that obscure old 80s song that we used to love -- the harder it was to find, the more obsessed we become with obtaining it.

Here's my question: What song was the most disappointing once you finally got your hands on it? (i.e., not nearly as good as you remembered it to be; not worth the time/effort involved in finding it) [:I]

Apollo 9 and Christian Dior by Adam Ant.

I must have been high when I heard these in the 1980's.

I think that the song "Strength" is my biggest disappointment...I thought all of The Alarm's work was good..I was wrong!

For me it wasn't a single song, but an entire albumn. I paid big bucks in the early 90's (before the internet/ebay and before CD-ROM burners were readliy available) to have a copy of SPG's Hardest Hit's Volume #1 mastered to CD. I hired some guy out of

For YEARS I hunted for the "Vigilante" EP by Felony.

Then I got it.

SOOOO wasn't worth the hunt. What a load of crap.
