Agree with no prayer for the dying.

Also Saint Anger is the obvious mention, clearly Metallica's worst.(Though load and reload were gash too)

Or St. Anger, whatever.

Agree with the post, Reveal had some stinkers on that album - way below par for REM

BOWIE..........Never Let Me Down

oasis be here now..

morrissey- maladjusted (there is no bad smiths albums as the poster previously said)

'Coda - Led Zeppelin'

Not a 'real' album was it, just bits & pieces not on their output before they called it a day.

The Clash - Cut The C r a p
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Pixies - Bossanova
Nirvana - In Utero
New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call

TWP- El rey

Second Jam album, though i still love it and its the b0ll0x compared to most stuff out there.

Yeah, Modern World easily their worst. Although the title track is in my top 3.

Now That's What I Call Music 11 - Various Artists.

Interpol - Our Love to Admire, still great though! (& still in most best of 2007 lists).

Agree with previos posts RE The Smiths not having a worst album, However Strangeway, HWC is probably one of lesser brilliance :D

Metallica - St. Anger

Teenage Fanclub - A Catholic Education
Ride - Tarantula (possibly the worst album I've ever heard)
Nick Cave - Nocturama

under the red sky by dylan
yellow submarine the beatles


can't believe someone put in Nebraska by the boss, thought it was a great album.

Have reconsidered about The Jam, and i am going to save This is the Modern World, and go for Sound Affects.

For our older viewers - Wishbone Ash brought out the classic Argus in the seventies one of the greatest albums of all time the follow up i think was Wishbone 4 the biggest disapointment ever after Argus.They never got anywhere close to Argus , it finished them.

Westlife - Take Your Pick

Stone Roses - The Stone Roses = absolutely superb, ground-breaking, inspirational, exciting album :D

Stone Roses - The Second Coming = abysmal, droning, plodding effort, as if recorded by a completely different group :(

Elbow - Leaders of the free world

I still like it but its clearly ranked number 4.

supersavo i really like sound affects an if i had to pick a jam one it would have to be in the city(reluctantly)

Springsteen - Nebraska

Jesus, have you heard "Working on a Dream"?

Nick Cave - Nocturama

can't believe that either

alex69-Don't know how you can knock an album that contains such gems as:Ten Storey Love Song,Begging You,Love Spreads and How Do You Sleep.

led zep = led zep 1 - bluesy dirge in the main except good times bad times

Big fan of Ther Beatles, but their 12th and final album LET IT BE was a patched-up and messy collection.
Even Phil Spector - who 'reproduced' the tracks - only improved it slightly with his overdubs.
Only 3 stand-out tracks, Let It Be, Long and Winding Road, Get Back,
the rest of the material needed more than a remix.

Is Communication breakdown not on that album? - I thought that was an outstanding track.

Cheryl

i also think second coming gets a bad rap. ten story love song is a class tune, one of their best, and a few very good songs on that album. i think it's one of those albums people put down because they think they should.

oops- sorry.

The one by Cheryl Cole. But I look forward to the release of her greates thits album!

CJ180 - it's just one of those albums that, however hard I tried to/wanted to get into, I couldn't. Think the fact it came out after Fool's Gold, which I thought was their finest moment at the time, didn't help either.

it's wierd, i got into the stone roses when i was about 14 and heard the second coming first, it was only later i heard their masterpiece, maybe that's why i really like second coming

Fair do's Dave. It was the opposite way around for me. I was studying in Manchester at the time, so they kind of came along & took over for a year or two. Everyone eagerly awaited The Second Coming, which seemed to take forever to make, and when it came out a lot of people who'd loved the first album we're massively disappointed. I just felt it was an exercise in John Squire proving how technicall good he was at playing the guitar. I'll give it another listen later as I haven't listened to it for years!
:)

*technically

i always heard people talking about the stone roses so decieded to try them out and second coming was on sale at 4'99 at the time so i picked it up, think that was 2000 or 2001, i was only getting into music at the time, were my socks blown off when i heard the stone roses (album)

the cure
every album after disintegration

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses imo.

To be fair Dave, and Old Bean, there are very few bands, imho, whose last few albums are better than their first. The Cure is a good example but the same could be said of The Rolling Stones, New Order, U2, REM etc etc

i think the beatles are one of the few bands where they got better and better, and album after album was pure quality, until the masterpiece that was abbey road, let it be wasn't great, the oppisite side to that has to be oasis, just get worse and worse as the years go by, their latest album was a disgrace

Rolling Stones, photo album.

defo sound effects the jam

Agreed that the Happy Mondays worst album is Yes Please.

I can understand you guys who were hugely disappointed by the Stone Roses' Second Coming. HOwever have another listen and another and it'll grow on you like nobody's business. Just fast forward the first 4 minutes and 20 seconds of the first track which is just self - indulgent shiite and let it work it's magic on you. Good Times is a great track.

Crikey. A thread by me thats lasted longer than 2 posts. I can feel a tear of pride coming on.

The Doors - Full Circle

Being a big Zep fan I was most disapointed by Presence.

No way is 'Division Bell' worse than 'Momentary lapse of reason'.

Both are sh1tty triumphs of the fiscal over the artistic to be sure, but Division Bell has Maroooooned

pennywise - fuse.

Cocteau Twins - Four calendar cafe
Thompson Twins - Close to the Bone

Stones - Dirty Work

Stones - Emotional Rescue

Second Coming is an amazing album...by any other band would be regarded as a classic

And Be Here Now is far from Oasis' worst album (second best in my eyes)

I agree Second Coming is a great album which still sounds good 15 or so years later.
Be Here Now was terribly overhyped and a poor album, unlistenable all these years later.........

Didn't say it was good ;)

Send Away The Tigers, is just plain awful.

And niceone is right Metal Machine, is pretty bad but I think that was rather deliberate on Lou's part!

Don't Believe The Truth is the worst album done by the Gallagher brothers.

Scott Walker's The Drift. One avant-garde step too far for me.

Echo & The Bunnymen. Evergreen is such a laboured effort, except for that marvellous hit 'Nothing Lasts Forever.'

Every solo album by Phil Collins. Hope he vanishes completely, after next April.
