Going off the ratings of albums by the users, here are the 100 worst (lowest rated) albums of all time.

Some interesting stuff, mostly the metal-related...

- An*l C*nt (I censor this only so that the forum doesn't get banned by people's filters and stuff) managed to make the list. For those unfamiliar, they're an old grindcore band that play horrible, noisey "punk" with all open strings, horribly screeched vocals and hilariously intentionally offensive lyrics. Their intention is to sound as horrible as possible, so I'm sure they're proud to make the list.

- Two KISS members here, Gene Simmons with 'Assh*le' and Peter Criss with his self-titled 1978 album.

- Linkin Park's latest just made the list. I've heard that it's bad even from their old fans.

- Cryptopsy's latest made the list, apparently they went deathcore. I don't really hear it, just sounds like modern death metal with maybe more modern sounding vocals. I don't even recall any breakdowns...it's not great but not bad.

- Cryptopsy aren't the only death metal band to make the list, Six Feet Under's 'Graveyard Classics 2', in which they cover Back In Black in it's entirety made it.

- Nickelback's decent but deriative debut made the list. I was introduced to rock music through that album (well, that album and Evanescense debut lead the way).

- Dokken's 'Shadowlife', not heard that one.

- Ozzy's Daughter Kelly made it, with her 'Shut Up' album. Pretty poor pop-punk. I like the cover of 'Changes' she did with Ozzy.

- Sepultura's 'Against'. Shows how important Max was, I guess.

- Limp Bizkit are on the list three times, with 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog-Flavoured Water', 'Results May Vary' and 'New Old Songs' reaching number 7 (not heard the last one, it's a collection of remixes, but their studio albums I quite like).

- Bathory's 'Octagon'. Heard it's very weak thrash, never heard it though.

- Pantera's real debut, the glammy 'Metal Magic'.

- 'St. Anger', of course.

- Van Halen's 'Van Halen III'. I never even knew they did one...what's so bad about it? I quite like 'Balance'.

- Crazy Town's Limp Bizkit worship album, 'Gift of the Game'. I have this album, some fun songs on there, despite the weak music and poor rapping. A fun nostalgic album that I despise and love at the same time.

- The Clash 'Cut the Crap'. Not familiar with this one.

- Prussian Blue's first album. A duo of 8 year old girls singing about aryanism and white pride. Honestly! Apparently they're the children of some skinhead.

Gary Cherone from Extreme is the vocalist and the songwriting (save a couple songs) is atrocious. It is soooooo much worse than Balance (which I consider VH's last album)

It's bad. Don't think it's worse than NSYNC or Fall Out Boy, but I've been wrong before. In the case of Van Halen III, the sales do reflect the crappiness of the album. It was the only Van Halen album to not go platinum.

Cool!! Another list. These things are always so great, informative and right on the money. No arguments here. This list nails it.

omgwtf? A.C. pwns u all!!!!111 lolz

mc666 you pwn this board!

Isn't rateyourmusic just a site where a bunch of fat, mom's basement dwelling turds can pretend like their opinion matters?

That list means nothing at all. I guarantee that 75% of those albums sold a lot of copies. I am not sticking up for any of those bands, (A**l C**t RULES though) just stating. Sales means everything in business. They probably got loads of cash and are living better than most of us.

I will agree that there are some dumb bands and albums on that list though!

I'd love to check this list out into minute details, maybe BUY every single one of these!

Vanilla Ice should be higher (Paris Hilton is above him).

thats wrong the crazy frog is amazing

Sales don't equal musical quality, or even popularity. I'm sure that most of us here bought St. Anger, but does that mean we all like it? Same thing goes for Risk.

I just thought it would be interesting to post. It's just a bunch of stats, I'm not trying to be the be-all end-all. The 100 best is an interesting list, even more interesting that 'Nevermind' and 'Appetite for Destruction' didn't make the list, I thought they were more popular than that. Death's Human was there, too.

I have a feeling this was posted before.

Eyesore's lagging.
