Of any genre, its gotta be this one given to me by my (evil) gran. Russ Henderson & his Caribbean Boys is so cheesy it can make your gums itch:
I used to play in a band in Glasgow pubs and our perverse sense of humour dictated we use this as our intro music. After one gig, an inebriated patron approached us to slur 'Youse were pish, but I liked the intro music by the way"
If it's the prog realm then this no brainer is a real no-brainer:
Neither powerful, heavy, memorable,emotional or thought provoking. Russ Henderson changed his name to Maynard Keenan, re-christened his band 'Tool' and the rest is...not even sufficient to leave a crease on prog's pillow.

Some great albums mentioned so far. My choice would have to be NOFX's Maximum Rocknroll, a collection of their early demos released without their permission. This is what the band says about it in their home page discography "It's a totally sucky record and the artwork totally bites. We had no control over any of it. In fact we didn't know it was coming out until I saw one in a store. If you want to hear a totally crappy f**ked album then this is the one for you. Don't say I didn't warn you." I've got nothing to add to that.

Maybe will sound or look strange but Porcupine Tree - In absentia is a damn mediocre album to mt ears and I can't stand them or the album, forgetable in any way possible

Emerald Rain - Age Of Innocence
I bought this without knowing them or hearing anything by them because it was in the metal section and I liked the cover - I played it once - absolutely dreadful, there isn't enough macaroni in the world to handle this much cheese...
The experience was so traumatic I managed to subconsciously suppress the fact that I had actually paid good money for it, so much so that a couple of years later I was looking through the metal section in HMV and saw a cover I quite liked and I actually bought the ing thing again!

Prog wise it's probably 'Bring me the head of Uri Gagarin' by Hawkwind, metal wise probably the Twisted Sister debut album. Pop wise, I couldn't say without trawling through my hundreds of old vinyl albums, but Phil Collins 'No Jacket Required' would no doubt be a serious contender.

I own a ton of crap albums, so I couldn't possibly pick a single "worst". I could share what my biggest disappointment is, and that would be"Abacab". I bought it expecting an awesome prog album, but instead I get a crappy pop album!

I know my opinion might very well start a flame war, but I have to be honest here... DT's Scenes from a Memory is one of the worst albums I own, one I haven't managed to listen to more than twice. A runner-up would be Deep Purple's The House of Blue Light. Now that I am an official reviewer for a prog site, of course, I get my fair share of duds - a particularly painful one being Tadashi Goto's Innervisions (it's here in the DB if you want to check).
