Old Shame/Music: Difference between revisions

* For [[Guster]], they're a bit ashamed of their first single, "Happy Frappy," from their first album, finding it extremely trite. While plenty of other material from their early albums still get play, they all but refuse to acknowledge "Happy Frappy" at all; There are only two known times they've played the song live since 1998.

* Rodney Atkins' first single, the 1997 flop "In a Heartbeat", had him singing in a Roy Orbison-esque voice while wearing a cowboy hat and mustache. Dissatisfied with his material at the time, Atkins asked the head of his label for a change in producers. Atkins did one album (2003's ''Honesty'') as basically a hatless, mustache-less [[Tim McGraw]] clone before finding his niche in 2006 as a baseball cap-wearing purveyor of positive, life-affirming uptempos (e.g. "If You're Going Through Hell") and easily relatable songs about fatherhood and family (e.g. "Watching You", "Cleaning This Gun"). Atkins has disowned everything from before "If You're Going Through Hell".

* [[Boards of Canada]] have refused to acknowledge any of their releases prior to ''Twoism''. They consist of a mix of good-quality tracks and some that...probably justify the band's attitude towards them. They're still highly sought-after by fans, though.

* [[Jethro Tull]]'s Ian Anderson seems to feel this way about the band's 1973 [[Concept Album]], ''A Passion Play'' (feeling it was over-arranged and lacked humor), and to 1975's ''Minstrel In The Gallery'' (considering it well-recorded and produced, but too dark lyrically). His use of soprano and sopranino saxophones in general on the 1972-74 material come under fire, too, as he decided he didn't really like the sound or feel comfortable playing the instrument, and only tried them to see if he could develop a love for it or find a way to make it a pleasant experience for himself.

* While they don't seem to disown their debut-era ''musical'' output, most members of [[BTS (band)|BTS]] are not happy with some of the styling and promotional choices they did at the time. They also seem to be regretful of several early-career remarks they did on interviews and lyrics about race issues that were born from ignorance. Doubly so in both accounts for group leader RM, which at the time used the stage name "Rap Monster" and looked and acted like he could illustrate the page for [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]].
