Record, not CD. We're talking one of those ancient, dusty discs that you put on a "record player". And it was something your parents owned, like a Doris Day record, but you played it anyway when you were a kid, because you were desperate for entertainment.
And you really DID like Doris Day.
In my case, it was Jimmy Shands' "My Scotland", which I played endlessly as a child.

Somewhat related: One year for my birthday(I think it was my tenth or eleventh), My mother gave me a Culture Club album. 'Colour by Numbers' I think. :(

Donna Summers, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow ......I think I was like 6 when I started listening to them and you can still catch me singing " I Write the Songs" on occasion.
Thats a secret so dont tell......
I remember playing this one record over and over. I'm not sure exactly what it's called but I think it was "Rappin' Duke".
Cannot think of a name

The New Kristie(?) Minstrels or something like that. Had a bunch of skits on it.

My pop was into classical and opera, so it's kind of weird that he owned a Neil Diamond greatest hits record. It was the only non-classical/opera album he owned.

Well, my dad has great music taste so I grew up to Bruce Springsteen records... my mother, however... well, there's a lot of Rod Stewart in the attic...

Thats so funny- you must have had Bette Midler too as we had the ones you named too.
How about Richard Harris singing someone left the cake out in the rain?
Abba?
I was so relieved when we got the first Meatloaf-"Bat out of Hell".
The Doors.
