Seconded. all this does is give attention to those things anyway. it's so stupid. If we have music that we think deserves the spotlight more, then the best way to make that happen is to ignore the other stuff and talk about what we like

I remembered those because I had bought those albums, and only listened to them once or twice (the second time to make sure I hadn't missed whatever was good about them. I hadn't)

Perhaps a Forum Thread on this would be the way to go. It would give people an outlet for frustration of the sort of "How can [album x] be the better than [album y] or, why are there so many albums by [band z] (*cough* Radiohead *cough*) in the top 20?

I had a phase last year where I listened to all his albums. So worth it!
The Transformed Man with covers of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Mr. Tambourine Man, among others, is just hilarious!

And of course this...

Anyway, on topic, this is a fun idea if it works well...

No, because a chart of this nature is honestly pretty predictable (Bieber Federline Crazy Frog etc), already exists on RYM in a pretty comprehensive form if you'd like to check it out (though this site might have a different take), and honestly is pretty boring in the first place. It's not interesting for me to talk about music I dislike or listen to others do the same.

Why would anyone want to see the list? It would just become another reason for musical elitists to poke fun at Justin Bieber.

I think BEA's database should be even more expanded than now for this to be useful. Other than that, it's not a bad idea.

Would it not be entertaining to have a chart of the worst rated albums(with at least 50-100 votes) like imdb do with their worst 200 movie ratings?
