48. Aerosmith – Pump (1989)
49. Avril Lavigne – Under

The inclusion of some of those is just ridiculous. Britney's second album is good and Shania's is a classic. MDNA is nowhere near as bad as people make out and Buble's album is great too.

Worst as in, least amount of sales??

I never knew MR Blobby had an album!

They can stick in All Saint ' Studio 1' in there too and Mariah Carey 'Charmbracelet'

No it was a popularity poll apparently.

PUMP does not belong on that list

It's a very lazy list if you ask me, whilst I agree with a large percentage of it, Some records really don't belong on there.

But it is the sun to be fair.. absolute zero intellect would go into such a list anyway.

Whilst I've never been a fan of U2 at least one of those inclusions are not deserved.

Vengaboys?!!



The album was probably crap tbh. Used to dance my ass off whenever they played one of theirs at a club.

How did Steps and Blue miss the list?

Edit: Green Day's American Idiot shouldn't have been included. Jesus of Suburbia and Boulevard of Broken Dreams more than make up for the title song.

All subjective, being musical taste, so unarguable and uncontestable really (it's a mere opinion after all and matter of taste). The only one I own is number 30 which is mediocre (in my opinion) rather than terrible. The only other ones I would give a listen to are probably the Lou Reed ones out of curiosity, and maybe Prince and Dylan. My own list might look fairly similar.

But people should remember a list such as this has as much objectivity as a list of a person's ten favourite meals being called the best ten dishes ever, or a list of the ten people you like most in life being called the ten greatest people in the world. It has no objective value.

It's just individual taste ultimately. A better exercise is worst albums by bands you otherwise love. Still subjective but at least more thought provoking.

13. Eminem – Recovery (2010)

How could Britney be on there?! Oops and My Prerogative are good albums, well My Prerogative is a` greatest hits album but it's Britney in her prime. Even my lecturer has a copy I used to have the Aqua, Vengaboys and Cheeky Girls albums but I was only a child then (well I was 13 when Party Time came out) so I can be excused Aquarium was one of the first albums I bought. If I was compiling a list of worst ever albums, I would definitely include these:

Hear'Say - Popstars (2001)
Hear'Say - Everybody (2001)
Westlife's Greatest Hits
Westlife - The Love Album
Westlife At The Movies
Sam Bailey's debut album (what was it called again? )
Any Steps album
Any Daniel O'Donnell album
Sugababes - Catfights and Spotlights (2008)
Cheryl - Messy Little Raindrops (2009)
Mary Byrne's album
Michelle - All This Time (2002/2003?)
Pop Idol's Big Band album

Any others?

I've never heard anything I'd consider a worst album of all time candidate. Why? Because I wouldn't listen to anything I expected to be rubbish. Life's too short!

A few of us mates used to pop 'round to each other's house after school. One guy had music I wasn't at all keen on. I remember him putting on an Eric Clapton album a couple of times so I'd just drink my coffee more quickly and make my exit. i did hear bits and pieces of albums I didn't enjoy but wouldn't hand around for the duration.

Other than that, if some artists' singles are crap, I'm not about to investigate a long player... Life: bit short! I may have mentioned that already.

I possess some patchy albums but the good track make them worth having in my view.

I suspect U2, Madonna and Bieber appear on the list more because they bring out the loathing in people than because they actually released albums an unenjoyable as Mr. Blobby?

Surely Jedward can't have created an album that was adequate in any way whatsoever? Oughtn't they be ripe for inclusion?

Jesus what an awful list, looks like it was voted for by a bunch of stuffy 50 year old men who sit in their basement listening to Queen and Nirvana.

I'm not a massive U2 fan but to have those two albums in there is absolutely ludicrous.

'Pump' by Aerosmith had some storming tracks as well.

A ridiculous list, best ignored.

what ones would you disagree with? seems pretty accurate to me either terrible pop singers/ crap nu metal drudgery or late career crapfests by respected artists

Except for "Hot Space", which is probably a candidate for this thread!

The Transformed Man - William Shatner
David Soul's first album (just called David Soul)

Not sure exactly what I would remove, but it's pretty clear that the likes of U2, Britney, Madonna, Shania etc don't belong on the same list as the likes of Bieber, 1D, Cheeky Girls etc. Replace them all with actual rubbish like Jedward, Steps and the like.

Fellas, this list has "American Idiot" by Green Day - easily one of the most influential and important rock albums of the last 20 years - classified as one of the worst albus of all time, therefore you can totally disregard the list, because that is objectively incorrect.

Oh and also Ozzy, Aerosmith and Busted don't really deserve to be on there either.

There was once a live Elvis Presley album that was just Elvis talking to the audience in between the songs and with no actual music on it:

I think Swing... is Robbie's best album and still play it a lot so the list is very subjective.

Can't see Rudebox in there and most people seem to hate that.

Aerosmith – Pump (1989) is the only one listed that I've listened to. It's a pretty good album imo.

I bet they just judged these albums on the single and never bothered listening to the album.

Aqua's Aquarium is a great pop album.

I own 8 of these and this is the best , worst album ever contender ? its not even Aerosmiths worst album imo it's their 2nd best
