Ya know what as much as I think Nu Metal sucks they had some good songs on terrible albums 99% of the time. So im picking

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed
Stand - Outside

now as for classic im going with

Black Sabbath - Shockwave
off of their last album before they fired Ozzy

I don't care for The Division Bell, but "High Hopes" is phenomenal.

M.i.A.’s Freedun on AIM, and Kanye’s Waves on his The Life of Pablo are the first ones that come to mind.

Not bad albums, but certainly not their best.

but what about Tyler!? That song is something else.

A Change Of Heart by Golden Avatar
I've never heard an album so poor but withone great track. The whole album is awful but the final track is just wonderful. I picked up on on vinyl for cheap as it looked good but after a quick listen was ready to get rid until I saw a mate play it in a DJ set. I asked what's this it's great and he showed me the cover and I couldn't believe it.

Ok so this is a cheat cos there's 2 good songs on this:

There She Goes (sublime) and Feelin' (2-minute masterpiece)

But the rest of the album is God-awful.
Sorry to say it but it is IMO.

Go back and listen again. If you love those two I'm not sure how you can't enjoy something like Timeless Melody

As much as I dislike Weezer's Make Believe album, I actually really like the song "We Are All On Drugs".

The Presidents Of The United States Of ...Of America
I like "Peaches". It's cute. Most of this album, however, just doesn't do it for me, and the opening track is genuinely one of my least favorite songs of all time.

Forever Your Girl by Paula Abdul
"Straight Up" is a kickass new jack swing banger with more creative instrumentation than most other songs of its genre at the time. As for the rest of the album, the singles are okay enough, but this is a massive step down compared to other female pop records at the time such as Like a Prayer, Rhythm Nation, Raw Like Sushi, and even Electric Youth. Most of the non-singles are really dry and flavorless.

Easily the best Led Zepplin song imo.

I'd put these albums as not great (probably more mediocre than bad though), but their singles are great imo:

Great song! Haven't heard the album though. Suppose I don't need to now...

Also, OT, but I feel like your profile photo goes really well with this pick, I don't know exactly why.

Could I through the track creep into the mix? Classic track, not good album

In bloom by neck deep. The album actually has 2 or so tracks that are good besides this, but it's terrible for the most part. If neck deep could have replicated the single, would have been a great album.
