Mkay, so I was looking through my iTunes list of albums and everything I see is stuff that I like and listen to on a even-somewhat-regularly-basis. Like most sane people, I don't buy albums that I don't think I'll like. I was wondering what I would consider the worst album that I own and it was a pretty easy contest. In my earlier days I was a HUGE Motley Crue fan, and I still really love their "mature" period from 1994-1996, and the only two albums from those days are "Generation Swine" (which is fantastic) and "Motley Crue" (which has a grunge sound and a non-Vince Neil singer) - and then I noticed an album that I had not listened to in a long time, so I thought I'd give it a spin. and then I realized - this is the worst album that I own. NEW TATTOO - Motley Crue released this album in the early 2000s without Tommy Lee, and it's full of awful songs with terrible lyrics and some of the worst music that I've ever heard. Whether it's the awful repetition of "Punched In The Teeth By Love", the failed cover "White Punks On Dope" or the cheesy trailer trash love song, "New Tattoo" - the album just oozes awfulness. The one redeeming song on the album is somewhat quirky "Porno Star", which is still foiled by poorly written lyrics. So what about you kind folks?  |

There are two I keep around just in hopes I'll like them more in time, tied for the "worst" that I own...Dream Theater's Images and Words and Pink Floyd's Division Bell. I&W was my first DT album, and I haven't bought any more because it really fails to hit me in any good way, and Division Bell is one of several PF albums, I just can't enjoy it very much.

There's the rub. At a minimum I at least like every album that I own that I've kept. If this thread were "the album that I own that I love to hate the most", it would have to be Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. I recently got a CD of Phil Collins' Face Value, not entirely an exercise in masochism but I'm particularly starting to take a dislike to his version of Behind The Lines on that one. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

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. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

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! ------------- What? |

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).

I actually rather like it's cheesiness, and some of the tracks are genuinely quite good. It's fun and enjoyable for me, but sill one well-worth mentioning, I think. I actually got it because of its corniness. It's not an album I would not like to have in my collection, and not one I would not listen to again, but it may be the worst I've hung onto. I like all of the albums in my collection to some extent. I have had some I really disliked, but no longer have them. When I was getting back into Prog, I made a few hasty purchases based on recommendations that didn't suite me, but then they weren't really bad albums no matter how much I disliked them (I do know the difference). Then there were some Prog ones that are really bad that I've heard, but I tend to put those out of my mind. Most of the worst I've heard I've only heard samples from (very amateurish music). It's an album I've been meaning to include here under Various Artists: Concept albums (jazz/ fusion/ electronica). Called a soundtrack to the novel Battlefield Earth, It's incredibly cheesy. The electronics which was labelled ground-breaking (use of a computer attached to a keyboard -- The Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument), and Hubbard dubbed it "the music of the future", were already some years old at the time (not a new sampler and had been used before)., and it sounds like poor quality midi files (or what one might have heard in old video games). It's one of those so bad it's good albums (although some of the music, especially that not composed by L. Ron Hubbard is reasonably good. Notable musician Scientologists of the time such as Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke perform on it. And it might interest those into the artists who took part, as well as old L. Ron groupies, and those who have some interest in Scientology. http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/weirdest-album-covers/825-1.jpg - http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/weirdest-album-covers/825-1.jpg It's one I would recommend, but more for humour and interest value, but not as a good album. L. Ron Hubbard may have been an OT (Operative Thetan) master of time and space, but not of music. He has a whole bunch of albums which he collaborated with others on. Perhaps we could blame Xenu for this one. Quoted from http://www.ronthemusicmaker.org/music/be.htm - http://www.ronthemusicmaker.org/music/be.htm "To achieve what has, in all truth, only recently been approximated, Ron employed a then wholly unexplored device, the Computer Musical Instrument (CMI). Manufactured by Fairlight (which itself had not yet recognized the instrument’s full potential), the CMI represented not a new form of synthesizer to replicate sounds, but a means of actually turning natural sounds into thirteen note octaves, so that the natural sounds are the notes of the music. The howling wolves are singing the blues, the blast of guns are playing the rhythms and the alien voices are the horn solos. In other words, all manner of previously nonmusical sounds are suddenly “singing” the song and pounding out the rhythm." It may seem heard to believe that anything "Battelfield Earth" related could not be brilliant (of course, not being serious, Travolta and Forest Whitaker gave the performances of a lifetime in the much later movie production). |

Outside prog, I have several that I would classify as the worst....
Pearl Jam's Ten bad? really? For me it's one of the BEST albums of the 90's. Tastes are tastes... The same with my favorite album ever, DT's SFAM...
Now for my worst-ever prog list:
SIGUR ROS - ( )
That's pretty much the worst of the worst. Others like KAyo Dot's DAWCT have at least some redeeming values.... -------------

I've gotten rid of most of the ones I don't like, but there have been a few that rank really low. The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute. I think it has more to do with how neat it seems and how cool it sounds for about two minutes that makes it rank so low. The track listing, the approach... all sound great. The music, er, barely listenable, and like some avant-garde music! Opeth - Still Life. Lots of people love this album, and I love Opeth's later catalog a lot. I'm only hanging onto this one because I'm assuming I'm missing something and that I'll end up loving it eventually. But at this point in time, I don't enjoy listening to it at all. Meshuggah. I had three of their CDs for a while. Absolutely unlistenable. To me, anyways. I never enjoyed any of their music, though it seemed like I would when I read about them. I'm not into deathy sorts of excursions enough, clearly. Anything else I'm forgetting. Plenty of stuff I sold back pretty quickly. -------------

I don't remember which album it was, but an Anthrax album I had, one of the worst thrash metal albums I'd ever heard. Could not believe they were considered up there with the classic Metallica and Megadeth, they just seemed totally lame in comparison. -------------

I'm a record collector, and like a lot of collectors I love obscure really bad albums and have a huge collection of them that I love to show off to unwitting visitors, here are some favorites:
1) at least three, maybe more disco versions of Stairway to Heaven, also at least one, maybe two disco versions of Smoke on the water. 2) Gregory james 'Madagascar' the worst jazz fusion album ever, nothing is worse than bad fusion, I actually found two copies of this gem. 3) Pickwick label band doing a bad cover of Deep Purple's version of Hush, I love the organists bewildered attempt to recreate Lord's incredible B3 solo. 4) 70s southern US politician Sam Ervin talk/singing his way through Bridge over Troubled Waters 5) early Neal Diamond song against drugs that contains unbelievably horrific drug stories. 6) the once brilliant Marvin Gaye lost his way to drugs and then made this very creepy comeback album - Dream of a Lifetime, with songs about S&M etc. 7) the usually talented soul/jazz singer Billy Paul making a case to a lady to 'have his baby'. 8) the Elephant's Child, a children's story narrated by Jack Nicholson while the ever annoying Bobby McFerrin makes weird noises in the background. 9) a late 60s Billy Graham concert that features an opening sermon by Ted Smith whose words are dramatically interpeted by one of the earliest avant/prog rock performances ever recorded. 10) lounge singer Buddy Fo tries to warm up the crowd and ends up insulting the hell out of one of the patrons 'come on man, lighten up ...' and so on, Buddy insults the poor guy for about half a minute. There's plenty more where that came from, I also collect good music too. |

I have plenty that I have listened to once or twice and didn't even keep me interested to keep listening. I can't keep the real hate for them though... more apathy. For me to really hate an album it has to be disappointing. So for me the answer is the Yes album UNION. I am a big Yes fan so when I saw the idea behind this I was excited. Then I heard it. While it has a few good moments (oh how I love Masquerade) it is definitely a terrible terrible album. I hate it. I hate Elias and everyone else who ruined that album. I despise Jimmy Haun for replacing the Howe vocals all over the place. Because of this album I HATE the band CIRCA: though I have never heard them and might actually like them. This was just such a piece of garbage I can't stand anything related to it. |

album.asp?id=1876"> Can't believe it took 4 pages for this to come up (which is what it makes you do--from your diaphragm).
Naturally, I own it because I'm an ELP completist. Which tells me that when I get around to buying "In The Hot Seat", that should really make my day.
I'd also like to nominate another which has the dubious distinction of having the greatest variance in quality from one side to another--Plastic Ono Band's Live Peace In Toronto.

I think you misread the title, it says worst not best. For me:  Listened once and thought it really sucked, despite liking the singles and never touched again. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I used to own that album. All I remember are the singles. There was a ton of filler if I remember correctly. |

in no particular order: (prog-wise) The Orchestra Tubular Bells - stunned me / Octavarium. DT totally lost me with this one/ Jadis' Fanatic (Metal) Symphony X's Oddyssey / Angra's Rebirth / Annihilator Alice in Hell/ Savatage's Fight for the Rock / Helloween's Keeper The Legacy ------------- And who are we to justify the right in all we do Until we seek, until we find Ammonia Avenue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrmJ39j58W0 |

The worst album that is still in my collection? By far, "Orme" from Le Orme. (1990) http://www.progarchives.com/album-reviews.asp?id=2321 - PA link The video below is from the song with semblance of structure and melody - it's by far the best song on the album (I can't find videos for any others)...I don't have words to describe how dreadful this record is: ------------- |

I would say the first (only? ) album released by GTR.
Howe & Hackett together for the first time, should have been a prog rock masterpiece... ...it wasn't. At all. Not a bit of it.

| I have this Ian Gillam album called Accidentally On Purpose and boy does it suck. He actually covers One Eyed Flying Purple People Eater or whatever it was on it, I can't bear to look it up. It's worse than it sounds. |

Prog-related: it would have to be 'A Sceptic's Universe' by Spiral Architect. To my ears it is like an extremely over-the-top parody of prog metal. It is all technique with no melody or heart.

Rap is like metal in that due to their abrasive nature, bad rap/metal tends to be a lot worse than bad music in other genres because they are aggressively bad in a way that The Carpenters could never be.
Probably the worst album I have ever heard (but did not buy) is Souljahboytellem.com by Souljah Boy but I did buy Scout's Honour By Way Of Blood by Rampage (because he was Busta Rhymes' cousin and I worshipped Busta Rhymes) and it stank to high heaven.
Busta himself has fallen off hard- three disappointing albums in a row and I keep getting them, I don't learn my lesson.
Are there any other artists that you keep giving another chance to?
Around The Sun almost buried REM in my book, but Accelerate wasn't that bad after all.
