The Top 25 Albums That Should Never Have Been Made

25. Trans Neil Young (1982)

This was Neil's excursion into techno and industrial music. Some people do consider this to be an innovative album, however it seems that not enough consider it good at all being the fact that it's not even available on CD in the United States. Seems like the Trans got stuck in neutral.

24. Dance Into the Light Phil Collins (1996)

This yawn-inducing album was released after Phil Collins left Genesis. Now we can see who had the true talent.

23. Calling All Stations Genesis (1997)

This yawn inducing album was released after Phil Collins left Genesis. Now we can see who had the true talent.

22. Psychoderelict Pete Townsend (2001)

Bad childhood, screwed up in the head, no one loves me, yadda yadda yadda. The lead character on this concept album is an aging rock star who is sick and tired of putting out crap music, reflecting on how he's wasted his talent. Remember when you wrote "Hope I die before I get old," Pete?

21. Dirty Work The Rolling Stones (1986)

Contrary to what some people believe, the true decline of the stones began after 1981. Even though tracks like "Miss You" and "Emotional Rescue" were not their, shall we say, strong points, they still proved they could put out some of the best rock-n-roll with 1981's "Tattoo You." Of course, after that album, they released the completely forgettable "Under Cover of the Night" in 1983. Then 1986 came around and they put out "Dirty Work." The only half-way tolerable tune on here is "One Hit to the Body". Although not one of their best songs, it looks like a freakin' masterpiece compared to the other crap on this disc. And what's even more amazing is that Jimmy Page and Tom Waits both appear on this album and couldn't even salvage it from the junk heap. But the scariest thing of all is on the album cover where we see Mick, Keith, Charlie, Ron, and Bill in 80's Day Glow suits! Yep, nothing spells "hard rock" more than Ron Wood in a fuchsia outfit.

20. Tin Machine Tin Machine (1989)

This was David Bowie's side project. You know it's going to be a good album when Soupy Sales' kids are playing bass and drums in your band. (I'm not making that up.) The cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" is somewhat okay, but when you take into consideration what's going on with the rest of the album, there's just no hope.

As a personal note, I really wanted to like this album. Seriously. David Bowie is one of my favorite artists, and I think Reeves Gabriel is a great guitarist. But no matter how I tried I just couldn't find anything likeable on this disc. It's sad, it really is. I guess Tin Machine was a good idea, but that's what it should've stayed as - an idea that never came to light.

19. Stormbringer Deep Purple (1974)

And I quote: "Ride the rainbow/ Crack the sky/ Stormbringer coming/ Time to die." Yeah. Mmm-hmmm. Thanks for channeling Michael Moorcock. Now, shut up and play "Smoke on the Water."

This album came out the same year that Gary Gygax started getting our nation's youth to worship Satan. Coincidence? I think not.

18. 18 Moby (2002)

"Dude, Moby's, like, such a genius, dude! He's, like, a modern day, like, composer or something. He's, like, all deep, and stuff."

Sorry, dude, he ain't. Moby broke through in 1999 with the album "Play," and proved three things:

1.) He's very good at covering other people's material.
2.) He's very good at sampling other people's material.
3.) He's very good at taking credit for other people's material.

For all who thought that Moby was electronic music's messiah, this album proved otherwise. Even though there is no doubt that Moby has some talent, even some die hard techno fans would agree that this guy is just a touch over-rated.

But that's what die hard techno fans would say. I say that this Lex Luthor-looking, vegetable-munching, tree-hugging hack needs to be run over with a Buick about five hundred times and thrown off a cliff. But that's just my point of view.

Made Have Should Albums Top The

Now I am surprized to find Phil Collins on that list. But I have all of his cds and stuff like that. There was quite a few songs that he should have passed on, but I found that mostly in his early days.

Yeah i am surprized too Phil Collins.. he was a classic, oh well i guess old music will always be old.

Made Have Should Albums Top The

ROFL Old music will always be old, but that's what makes some of the older music such gems and classics.

Made Have Should Albums Top The

I personnally prefer old music alot more than the new wave of pop/punk. Even rap has changed and now it's centered on women and money.

The Top 25 Albums That Should Never Have Been Made

You are correct in that thought CTM about the new rap. I love listening to the old hip-hop and rap from way back in the day. I find it better than a lot of this new rap stuff they have out now.

The Top 25 Albums Should Have Made

I agree with the list, pretty much all horrible albums. I do not really like any of those genres either though so that's even worse. Good list in general.
