Did anyone receive an album they liked from either Columbia House or BMGs selection of the month?
Back when I was a member of Columbia House, I recall there being an option to auto-decline any selection of the month (from their web page). I never actually got an album of the month, period, but I know there were several occasions where the album of the month was an album that I already owned (but I think I only listed “Rock” and “Alternative” as musical styles that I liked, so it only sent me recommendations from those genres, and they were generally top-10-ish albums that were almost universally liked [except, most likely, here on MeFi]).
I can’t remember ever getting anything I liked from either company. As for albums, the only one I remember was King’s X’s Faith Hope Love, which was not my cup of tea. It seems Bang Tango was also a selection once (both of these in the late 1980s/early 90s), but I might be misremembering that. I definitely don’t remember getting a montly selection that was very good. I’ve wondered more than once if the albums being sent to people aren’t just underselling albums by a label owned by one of the music club companies, but I haven’t been interested enough to look into it. sprocket87: write a note saying you want your account canceled.
