Cd's that you actually threw away, instead of giving away?

[Harry]

Everyone has its own personal graveyard, with which I mean, cd's you buy, and afterwards regretting that very much.
Therefore I created my Refusal Bin, but what little people know, I have also a Throw away Bin.
Not long ago I encountered in the big box from Sony with many Beethoven works, the sonatas played by Yokoyama, finding it so terrible, that I dare not give them away, so I crunched them into little pieces, and hurting my hands in the process.
A week ago the Mozart box with the complete symphonies played by the Mozart Akademie Amsterdam, directed by Jaap ter Linden, was subject to the same treatment, for they are, despite the good name ter Linden has, absolute boring interpretations, surely if you lay them beside the Hogwood's I also have. At first you are lured into the nice and easy going playing, but after two discs you know better.
11 cd's down the drain, but I could not give them away.
And what's your personal graveyard?

[DavidRoss]

I almost never throw away CDs (except for some of the unsolicited crap that comes in the mail) but my brother in law gave me a CD of Bulgarian bagpipe music when he returned from a teaching stint in that perplexing crossroads of nations.

[FredT]

send the Bulgarian bagpipe (gaide) music to me! I have a vested interest in it!

Thanks, Fred

PS...bad cd's...hmmmm...yes, I did toss away Bocelli's Boheme...wretched stuff!

Common guys, there must be hundreds of buried cd's in your graveyard!

Don't throw them away, people! When hung up from branches, antennas or other suitable places they make for excellent scarecrows (and rather weird decorum). The moving reflections keep pigeons off balconies and birds off crops. (There's quite a number of people here who actually use unwanted CDs that way).

Also, I've seen them being used as coasters.

Bocelli's Boheme makes a good throwaway CD.

Also, frisbees.

We use them in our backyard too - hang them from tree branches to scare away deer at night. The deer see light reflected off the CDs and spook, meaning they don't eat all our flowers.    However, the CDs we use are all Windows and Dell installer discs for computers we don't have anymore.

When I had a few CDs I really, really hated, I just gave them to my aunt. She was visiting and I said, "I have these CDs I don't care about, want any?" And she took them all.

He, have some compassion......

[Kullervo]

I never actually threw them into a trash can, but most of the CDs I had from when I was 14 or 15 (crap like The Postal Service) were absorbed in the chaos that occurred the first time I moved out of my parent's house. Nowadays I give CDs I don't like to the library.

On a different BB someone posted a photo of an outdoor large Christmas tree decorated with only CD's.

Must have looked shiny though!

[Anne]

Yes!  It was very shiny.

There is also this one:

Patent your idea quickly!  Retirement is just down the road.

Hey, that's Finnish bear-err, beer.

[PerfectWagnerite]

Beethoven: 9 Symphonies, CBSO, Walter Weller conducting, MHS.

[маразм1]

best of ELP live. 
I was really looking forward to it, but it was terrible quality.  it sounded like somebody recorded it off a camcorder!  I took a listen, and instead of throwing it away, just put it on the ground on the curb.  Maybe somebody picked it up.  I dunno.

I notice it's a Microsoft CD the Plan depends on. That can't be good...
