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.
'american idiot' is easily the best thing green day have ever done , boulevard of broken dreams is to contrived.

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!

.
yep, my thoughts entirely!

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:

Yes. It's number 44 on the list.

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?
Yeah, Jedward are terrible. They're almost a Platonic archetype of bad popular music.

Also, where are other "worst album ever" staples like "All or Nothing" by Milli Vanilli, "Hard to Swallow" by Vanilla Ice, "Babywoman" by Naomi Campbee, or "The Sign" album by Ace of Base? Not to mention no sign of the anti-classic "Philosophy of the World" by the Shaggs ?

Wikipedia's list of "Music considered the worst", with several albums (including the aforementioned Shaggs record) :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ered_the_worst

Also, Q Magazine's list of "The 50 Worst Albums":

http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/qlist...Worst%20Albums

Also, how about the albums by Abba rip-off Brotherhood of Man? I remember on "Drop the Dead Donkey" how one character said he liked BoM and the audience exploded with laughter.

It's The S-N newspaper, which is a hate rag anyway and a knuckle dragger paper.

I thought you wrote "The S-M newspaper" for a second- "The Daily Cane" ?

Also, any list of the worst Irish albums ever made would have to include the oxymoronically
titled "The Very Best of Foster and Allen".

For me a bad album is one where you really like one track but hate all the rest as its a complete waste of money and time and you can been taken for a ride and none of those albums except for maybe Babylon Zoo fit that criteria.

There are so many absolutely appalling heavy metal albums that there surely should be a fair few of those on the list. How about Budgie - Squawk for starters?

Mel B - "LA State of Mind" - ameaturish production, dodgy lyrics and even dodgier songs!

Anything by Badly Drawn Boy.

There's a Creedence Clearwater Revival album that is entirely written by the other 3 members of the band after they complained about John Fogerty getting rich on all the songwriting royalties.

It is regarded as the worst album released by a established and successful band.

What exactly do you mean by 'ignorant mouth breather'?

Some people actually have conditions that mean they can't breathe through their noses so have to sleep with their mouths open or they will suffocate, (myself being one of those people) I have catarrh which means my nose gets all blocked.

And...

I DO read The Sun but i didn't vote!

Nor would have I included any Madonna album in that list.

I agree with Scrilla, the hate on Bieber, Madonna and U2 (Bono, really) has put them on the list. The U2 albums are amongst their best. One of them won the Grammy!

Limp Bizkit - Results May Vary is a very underrated album.
Billy Idol - Cyberpunk, oh lord, Billy what were you thinking? His cover of Heroin is, um, well, er, different.

I'm not sure why you find my post funny as not being able to breathe through my nose while asleep is no laughing matter. I was just asking Fairyprincess what was meant by ignorant mouth breather.

As for reading the Sun, it is only a newspaper not the satanic bible.

Pains me to say this and I don't think he's particularly talented singer, but Bieber's 2015 album is an above average modern pop album. Ditto Timerlake's Justified album. Britney's greatest hits album must contain a lot of great teen/dance pop - the only 'bad' ones being the cover versions she did. The Shania Twain LP had some very memorably catchy songs. It sold so many for that reason.

Yes, Come On Over sold 30 million world-wide, one of the best-sellers ever and the biggest album by a female.
