I actually found an image of this album online...I can't freakin' believe it's got any kind of internet presence. This is the 1995 release that I bought on vinyl.

Yesterday, I listened to Inspiration by William Hung. I wouldn't be surprised if it really WAS the worst album ever. Even the hip-hop style interludes go and can easily be beaten by the worst krunk rappers.

Plus, the cover of "Hotel California" will truly make you throw up.

Yeah, but in a way, they're intentionally bad, so I don't know as they count. Hung might not know how horrible they are, but I'm 100% positive his producers know and the albums are sold as novelty items by people looking for gag gifts.

Anything by The Cure after "Disintegration".

Now, hang on there. Worst album they did was The Top in 1984. Granted, that was a transition album of sorts but it still was bad.

Wish - almost like outtakes from the Disintegration sessions. Not fantastic compared to Disintegration but still listenable.

Wild Mood Swings - low mark here but songs like "Treasure" and "Gone" are still well crafted.

Bloodflowers - progressive post-punk that follows on from the mood and feel of Disintegration. Okay, no chart entries but songs like "There Is No If..." and "Watching Me Fall" still rank highly in my account.

The Cure - the dark moods rise again and this was the first Cure album I owned. Played it non-stop for a few months so it grew on me. "The Promise" and "Going Nowhere" are great songs.

4:13 Dream - average but demanded by fans more than anything. They wanted new material and they got some (actually, half of the songs were rehashings of old demos).

Worst out of that lot would be Wild Mood Swings; best would be Wish.

This is somewhat condensed as I am tired and going to bed.

Hahaha well if you guys are saying Diamond Dogs, Trout Mask Replica, Heathen Chemistry, or even Nickelback and Slipknot, are the worst albums ever, you have some seriously high browed taste! 🤣

That has to be the worst song I have ever let my ears hear. That was god awful. I don't know what was worse, the cheesy lyrics or the guy constantly making a puking sound. You take that guys puking screams and do that 100 times more and that's what that music equals. Just God awful. Now we can all agree that's some of the worst music ever recorded, yes?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that Kevin Fenderline made an album once. It MAY qualify for worst ever.

I also really hate Oasis-Heathen Chemistry compared to their other albums the quality is just awful.
Others:
Nickleback-All the right reasons
Michael Jackson-Thriller
Yellowcard-Ocean Avenue
Any of those Slipknot albums my brother listens to it drives me NUTS
David Bowie-Earthling

Boo to any haters of Trout Mask! You just don't understand its complexity.

Agree, agree, agree.

Especially Trout Mask Replica, that album is horrible! I've tried to sit though that album, but had to stop after the second or third song.

[quote="Draxzar"]I have only one I feel the need to put up here: Diamond Dogs by David Bowie. Which is odd because I LOVE David Bowie (Hunky Dory and The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars are two of my favourite albums of all time.) Although this album holds the classic Bowie track 'Rebel Rebel', the rest of the album simply sounds like someone else trying to do Bowie, but not quite hitting it. It's frustrating when you know that the same guy that created this also created one of the most iconic rock albums of the century.[/quote]

Diamond Dogs > Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

Just my opinion.

Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

ain't nothing magical about that.

David Bowie - Earthling

as someone mentioned earlier, is a close 2nd.

Also, the song "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. Her voice sounds like a suffocating sopranissimo with a pen cap shoved down her throat.

Hey, I love that song! 🤬

My vote for worst album is probably William Shatner Sings. Or the self-titled debut from the New York punk band Chrome Cranks...which I can only hope had a mercifully short career. I only wish I hadn't dropped $12 on a vinyl album without ever hearing a single song, only to find out the thing was completely unlistenable. And I'm not exaggerating.

i should add that i've never heard a single song by david bowie or the smiths that i've liked.. i'm not gonna listen to any of their albums in full, but i would imagine they would likely make that list too..
