Wordshaker (The Saturdays), plenty of choice for singles. Majority of the tracks are far better than the lead single for it. The title track and 'Not Good Enough' are belters. ![]() Battlefield (Jordin Sparks). Love every song. How this didn't get top five is just frustrating. The Fray (The Fray). Beautiful songs. 'Never Say Never' is highly recommended. I Am....Sasha Fierce (Beyonce). Love this album. The five UK singles and 'Smash Into You' are fantastic. Prefer the "I Am" section, though. Worst - Evacuate The Dancefloor (Cascada). I was hoping that with the single being a bit different from their previous stuff, the album would be good. Unfortunately it wasn't. Same old tripe as the last album. Relapse (Eminem). Big let down compared to his older stuff. |

Too many to list but here's a selection: All of Britney Spears' albums Both The Saturdays' albums (Chasing Lights and Wordshaker) Pussycat Dolls - PCD and Doll Domination (seriously underrated album IMO) Sugababes - Change/Overloaded: The Singles Collection Little Boots - Hands (my current favourite) and many more... Worst - Aqua - Aquarium - plastic, generic music Sugababes - Catfights and Spotlights - not up to their usual standard and style IMO |

Not including compilations and greatest hits
Best album I bought knowing it was going to be great: The Queen is Dead (The Smiths) Worst album I have bought thinking it was going to be great: Summer days and summer nights (Beach Boys) Best album I bought without knowing anything about it first: Valley of the damned (Dragonforce) Worst album I bought without knowing anything about it first: The others (The others) Best album I hadn't heard before and given to me unexpectedly as a gift: Flood (They might be giants) Worst album I hadn't heard before and given to me as a gift: I haven't been given many so this is a small list but it has to be "A night at the opera" by Queen (sorry queen fans but other than BR and the prophet's song I think this album is poor) |

I’ve bought/have been given too many good albums to list here.
But…….. The worst album I’ve ever bought was Bigger! Better! Faster! More! By 4 Non Blondes. I bought the album after listening to their chart single What’s Up which I thought was brilliant (the slower version on the CD single was even better). The album was complete and utter rubbish. I can listen to most music irrespective of the genre it belongs to but that was just dire. I gave it away to a friend (LOL!) after playing it about twice. He said it was rubbish too. God Shuffled His Feet by the Crash Test Dummies was another album I thought was crap. |

The Fame, - Lady Gaga, I do like every song on that album, same with...
INMITY- Lily Allen. Girls Aloud 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th studio albums. Trick to Life - Hoosiers. Brilliant to sing along to, upbeat but can also be very deep Though its not a studio album, Queens Platinum Collection. Such amazing music, and so much of it. Worst. From this year, La Rouxs album. Nothing I liked apart from 3 songs. My cousins mam bought me a Boyzone album once, wasnt impressed. |

Best Album I've bought: Achtung Baby - U2
Best Album I've Been Given: The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths Worst Album I've Bought: Be Here Now - Oasis (I loved the first two albums but was really disappointed with this one) Worst Album I've Been Given: Back To Bedlam - James Blunt (saying that, I've never actually listened to it, as I can't stand his voice and absolutely hate the songs I've heard from it, so it might be a brilliant album but I'll never know). Last edited by Jack Nasty : 25-11-2009 at 02:36. Reason: got my Oasis albums mixed up |

Come across another 'worst' one:
The Fame - Lady GaGa. Not all of it is bad, but it's all electro, and I can't listen to an album full. Just Dance, Poker Face, Beautiful Dirty Rich, Money Honey, Bad Romance (I know this is Fame:monster), Brown Eyes are good tracks...but BoysBoysBoys ("in the morning, buy me eggs" Why?!? What does that even mean?!?! don't know why they lyric is there, maybe just because it rhymes with the previous line. ), Paper Gangsta, Summerboy and others, I just don't get. This won't be a popular choice of 'worst album' to most on DS
