What are some of the worst albums by your favorite artists?

After a little while I'll compose a top 10 for this topic.

And the nominees...

I like this topic but I'll have to get back to you with a list of them.

Morrissey "Kill Uncle"
Bob Dylan "Oh Mercy"

I can't really think right now.

The solo stuff on UMMAGUMMA by PINK FLOYD.
MARILLION-anything post Fish. (I did give them a go, but it's just not the same)
THE BEATLES-first two sound quite twee now.
RUSH-SNAKES AND ARROWS.
METALLICA-THE BLACK ALBUM
MOBY-18

I think St. Anger takes the place of the Black Album, since there are fans of the Black Album while no one really likes St. Anger aside from Slipknot and KoRn fans and do they really count?

No they don't lol, but Burton and his melodic sense grounded the band and gave them an unsual sound compared to all the other thrash bands. From the BLACK album they became formulaic in my view.

Pelican - City of Echoes.

Primal Scream - Echo Dek
Worst remix album ever

The Fall - Cerebral Caustic
Only one good song on it & Mark E Smith isn't even singing it

Manic Street Preachers - This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours
This is sh*t , are you seriously telling me this is the best you've got?

Beck - Midnite Vultures
Sh*tty 80s pop should be left there

Jane's Addiction - Strays
If they'd released this crap in 1991 they would have died with all the other hair metal

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
A band desperately running out of steam + Tony Iommi's desire to be taken seriously = this crap

Thin Lizzy - Renegade
Horrible 80s synth pop

Suede - A New Morning
Suede had been stinking the place out since Bernard Butler quit the band. But at least they had the odd decent single.This rubbish was the final nail in the coffin ... thank god.

The Cult - Beyond Good & Evil
Another crappy comeback album that tarnishes all the great memories you have of a band.

Rolling Stones - Live Licks
Probably the most sterile live album I have ever heard

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Pink Floyd try to make a psychadelia album without Syd Barrett

The Clash - Cut The Crap
I own about 30 Clash albums , this isn't one of them

David Bowie - Hours
I could have gone for some of the more obvious ones like Tonight or Never Let Me Down , but this was hailed as his best album since Scary Monsters. I can handle Bowie being bad , What I can't deal with is Bowie being boring & thats what this album is ...pure boredom.

Yeah, it's a bit...eh. Title track and "If" are pretty cool though.

Good calls on Technical Ecstacy and Strays.

I guess one obvious answer would be the posthumous 2Pac/Biggie albums. I guess they're not all bad, but Christ...that "Duets" one...

----Beck - Midnite Vultures

I disagree I love the retro sound on this album, it puts me in a happy mood.
