They ARE the crappiest gifts!

Parents can't keep up with the good music...

Now, now, it's the thought that counts. Just think of the amount of thought it would take to find music they would like AND hasn't been downloaded already! blink.gif

I can see my grandmother getting me the "Best of Billy Joel" or something thinking it's cool to get her grandson a CD as a present.

My dad once bought me something he thought was X-Perience's CD. X-Perience was one of the few artists we both liked to listen to. But he had misread the title, the CD was titled "Gatecrasher Experience" and it contained some trance music. I actually liked the Gatecrasher CD very much but my dad couldn't stand it. laugh.gif

I dont recall ever getting a cd for a gift, hell I dont even remember getting a tape. I have always been the hardest to shop for in my family so I usually just get gift certificates, which is fine by me last christmas I scored 5 Chapters gift cards. biggrin.gif

Well ,actually when I was 15 my mother bought me the following cds...
KMFDM-Retro, All of the Marilyn Manson collection,The Smashing Pumpkins Aroe-Plane box set, Alice In Chains-Best of the Box.Skinny Puppy-Too Dark Park.
It was one of the best presents I've ever had.
It really made my day.

I'd get excited about that collection as well. Sounds like what I wanted for Christmas when I was 17...similiar bands, different albums.
