I would like to nominate 'Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd. This album is the reason I'm not cool. A few years ago I decided I would listen to the classic albums listed in articles like 'Albums to listen to before you die' and 'Albums you must own if you don't wish to be outcast from polite society and end up old and alone with just your cat for company'. I would then form opinions on them, and if people mentioned them, I could say, "Oh yes, his music is somewhat reminisent of Lou Reed's early work" (David Bowie, by the way... I am a little bit cool).
Anyway, 'Dark Side of the Moon' was the first album I came across in my quest for cool. It was so boring I couldn't bear to listen to any others. It's not offensive or anything, just very, very dull. A couple of the songs ('Money' for example) are ok, but they are nowhere near good enough to rescue it. I made it to the end but never intend to do so again. Needless to say, I couldn't bear to be disappointed another 99 times in the name of cool. 'Dark Side of the Moon' drove me back to Bon Jovi.
Not sure of the source of the picture, but I'd guess that 'Pink Floyd' would be a safe bet.
