Worst Album Ever Recorded.
Mar 22^nd, 2010 at 10:16am

While we're on the subject of the worst Stones song, how about the worst album ever made? I'm not a fan of KISS or Freddy & the Dreamers & a few others I could name, but I'd have to say the worst album is Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" absolute garbage, I like Lou Reed, but I don't know where his head was at when he made that (it was the 70's, so he was probably out of it)

Reply #9 - Mar 22^nd, 2010 at 4:26pm The latest Guns N Roses album, Chinese Narcolepsy, gets my vote. A true piece of shit. Honorable mention goes to Pink Floyd's The Division Bell. This may come to a shock to some, but I hate Pink Floyd. I refuse to listen to their music.

Eagles music has been clinically proven to induce genital warts in kangaroos.

MMM was, I believe, the last album required to fulfill a contract/recording deal...Reed was so pissed of at the RCA, he just wanted out and didn't care how it ended...it was quite obvious that unit sales were not a consideration when making it.

Sonic Youth has often called it an influence...as well as Trent Reznor.

Didn't Neil Young do a similar thing when he out ARC WELD? Though that was all live feedback as opposed to Reed's electronic phasing etc...

Reply #20 - Mar 23^rd, 2010 at 2:46pm Metal Machine Music does indeed suck, although I find Lou Reed highly overrated anyways. This is a broad question because 90% of the stuff out there is absolute dreck. Recently for Rock albums, I'd say Chinese Democracy is a good bet.

I dont think it's fair to include "kids" music. Christ, there must be a million worst albums.

I have a list of worst albums by major acts, and they are.

in through the out door
dirty work
the elder
soft parade
everything elton john has done after Captain Fantastic

But probably the album that sticks in my craw the most is Boz Scaggs follow up to silk degrees. It was easily the most pathetic thing i have ever bought.
