Originally posted by stellspalfieNo. My interest and appetite for music is not matched by that of my partner. While I have maybe 5,000 CDs and 30,000 more albums/recordings in other formats stashed on several large HDs, my spouse doesn't really have a 'collection' as such. There may be 100 of those CDs that were bought over a 20 year period by my partner... who nowadays consumes music mostly via YouTube clips.
would or do you keep your partners music collection mixed with your own?

What music album(s) [encountered in adulthood, not childhood] do you like to this day... but, either [i] it kind of embarrasses you to admit to liking it [or sticks out like a sore thumb amongst your regular tastes & passions], or [ii] it may be a hit with you, but it was panned by the critics and/or was a commercial failure?
Years ago, the one review that I came across of the album largely panned it. This thread prompted me to look for more reviews which, as it turns out, largely weren't so negative. As an additional bonus, reading those reviews solved a mystery for me. The album features some nice sax work, but neither the album nor the original CD issue listed a sax player. As it turned out, the sax player was Curtis Peagler whom I had enjoyed seeing perform numerous times in the late 80s and early 90s.
