Ranked by Maxim.


I disagree with  "Vitalogy" (Pearl Jam), "Looks What The Cat Dragged In" (Poison), "Monster" (REM), and "Electric Youth" (Debbie Gibson). Though the rest I agree on being the worst.  :P

And albums from Nelson, Marilyn Manson, & Celine Dion should've been ranked.

What's your opnion. Good or Bad.

Monster, though I havent heard it all, is widely accepted as REM's worst album, so thats probably why its here.  I dont think that Huey Lewis's Fore is that bad, but then again, I havent heard it all...

most of the albums on this list I have not heard in their entirity.....but Im sure there are worse albums.....though the album at #2 must have been pure torture....

Why on earth is Oasis on here?

I disagree with:

Michael Jackson's HIStory b/c it's a greatest hits album/compilation and it wouldn't make sense to consider it an album of new songs
Notorious BIG's "Born Again" b/c it had some good tunes to it
Debbie's and Tiffany's had good songs on it (e.g. "Lost in Your Eyes" and "All this Time")
Oasis (I like them)
Ace of Base (yes, I bought the album and enjoyed it)
Sgt. Pepper's...soundtrack (I like Aerosmith's "Come Together" cover, the "Lucy in the Sky..." cover as well as the "Strawberry Fields Forever" cover; yes, the movie sucked, but some covers were okay)

  Most all the albums on the list I've never listened to beyond a song on the radio...

  I disagree with: Emotional Rescue - Rolling Stones
                        Monster - R.E.M.

I strongly disagree with "If I Were A Carpenter". It had a few bad covers to it, but some of them were guilty pleasures like Shonen Knife's "Top Of The World", Beetie Seveert's "For All We Know" and Dishwalla's "It's Gonna Take Some Time".

I would replace it with either Notorious by Duran Duran or Ammonia Avenue by Alan Parsons Project?

Monster is R.E.M.'s worst? That's crazy. It's probably my favorite out of the ones I've heard (Document, Monster, Reveal, Around The Sun).

Hanson "Middle Of Nowhere" is really not that bad of an album. It's a nice pop album, actually. It collected dust for a few years while I was embarassed to admit I owned it, but after a long day with "Mmmbop" stuck in my head, I pulled it back out and realized it wasn't so horrible. I like a few of the tracks.

Ditto




And for Poison, Winger (self titled debut)  was far worse:

#1. The only good song on the album (or the whole  Winger song catalog )  is "Seventeen"

#2. They ruined Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze"  :P

#3. Huh Huh Huh Winger s cks!!!

Though Beavis & Butt-Head also dissed Guns N' Roses, new wave bands, most hairbands,  and (of course) Poison... Winger is written on "Beavis & Butt-Head" character Stewart's shirt.

Its not my opinion, I havent heard the whole album.....but I dont know how any of the ones you listed are better than Document, that album is pure excellence....

REM albums in order of greatness that Ive heard:

1)Murmer
2)Document
3)Reckoning
4)Automatic for the people
5)Reveal (and this aint that perfect)

Not counting IN Time btw
