This is a question Failed Projects

You start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

Unfinished Album.
I started it a while ago (along with various novels that never got past chapter one).

The album started out better than the novels though, as I actually did get some songs finished.

The Album was a themed album, a kind of 'concept' album; it was called:

"To the Manor Porn" (with a subtext of "Porn to Rule" as I couldn't decide on the best title of the two)

...and was basically a load of songs about politicians/royals' sleazy activities sung over 70's porno-style-music with plenty of auto-wah.

So far the track's protagonists (without titles) include:

Robin Cook.
Bill Clinton.
David Mellor.
The Egg Woman.

...and that's as far as I got.

I was going to do a Michael Jackson style 'Thriller' thing for Michael Howard (something of the night about him), but it's hard to make 70's porno music sound even remotely scary.

Still, it's a start, but to give you some idea of how long ago it was started, the Robin Cook and Clinton songs were recorded on my Tascam 4-track recorder that I have since misplaced.

...at least there wasn't a John Profumo song on there.

You could do a triple album on the Lib Dems alone.
