Childhood bad taste
When we start out in the world it's not our fault if we accidentally latch on to liking really bad stuff. Well, at least, that's the only reason I can come up with for owning Huey Lewis and the News' album Fore!
What early bad taste can you confess to?

"Taste" is ephemeral and personal
The hideous brown stripy nylon garments from BHS and Littlewoods that I was dressed in from 1967 to 1977 were all I knew and so perfectly acceptable. After learning to despise them, I see the same styles now back in fashion, and my (much younger) brother has a Missoni shirt (circa £200) that is identical to a vile "Lord John" brand shirt I wore in 1972.
Likewise the music - apart from the nasty twee stuff - if you bin it, you will regret it later, if only from nostalgia.
Although finding the first three Toyah albums in my parents attic last month was embarrassing. But I was only 11. And wanked over the photos of her more than listened to it.
