Sometimes great artists can put out terrible albums for all manner of reasons. Here is a list of ten stinkers for your consideration

Interesting to see you include Humanity: Hour 1 by Scorpions – yes, it is one of their weaker efforts, but I think most fans of the band would opt for either Pure Instinct or Eye II Eye as their considerable low point. That said, I actually really liked Eye II Eye, except for the terrible single To Be No. 1!!
Loving the Alien and Never Let Me Down on these crap Bowie albums .. Tonight and Never Let Me Down are worth the price of admission alone … imo , of course .. 🙂
Can “Cut The Crap” even really be called a The Clash album, considering that Joe Strummer was the only member left by the time that was recorded? Only “This Is England” could AND should be called rightfully a Clash number.
I have "Beyond Appearances" on vinyl and "Written in Sand" is one of my favourite Santana tracks – can't remember if the rest of the album is any good though.
Here are a few more:
The Byrds – Byrdmaniax
Creedence Clearwater Revival – Mardi Gras
The Kinks – UK Jive
R.E.M – Around the Sun
Bowie’s NLMD is a candidate for the worst album ever recorded for me, certainly the worst I’ve bought. Not a decent song on it.
I also love The Mamas and the Papas, and while I agree "People Like Us" is their worst, I like it better than you or Michelle Phillips does. Are you aware your least favorite albums of these talented acts tend to be the same ones the print media critics have called their worst? I wonder what you think is the most underrated by each of these acts.
My personal picks- Jazz from Hell by Frank Zappa and Shout by Devo
Thanks for this, good stuff! Keep them coming
Not exactly difficult finding a crummy Young or Dylan album 🤣
I like the sleeve on Landing on Water though
Mickey Rourke rapping? How could that be bad?
I must admit dylans cover of Shennanon is not bad, which not surprisingly is covered by Richard thompson on 1000.00 years of popular music.beatiful cover!
I would lump most of Santana's '80s/90s material in the awful category. This is when Carlos decided he'd rather be a pop star than remain true to the formula which was so successful on those first few albums.
Es triste ver que un cantante como Rod Stewart, haga discos de corte swing por que no es el tipo de música que le queda interpretar, mas bien parece sintoma de vejez.
Great list :-)….have you ever thought of doing your fav Prince albums list?
Rod Stewart should have recorded a Dylan tribute album, he's a huge Dylan fan and I always thought his voice was really well suited for covering Dylan.
Not only is Eye of the Zombie Fogerty's worst album, but it's also his worst album COVER as well!
Yes, the Fogerty thing is truly awful! 😀 I realize I'm one of the few people in the world that likes "Cut the Crap". If one listens with an ear to what it's supposed to sound like, of course it's godawful. but taken on its own, I find it a bit interesting if strange 😀
Turbo 🤮
Steve Harley's LA inspired 1978 album Hobo With A Grin is truly shockingly awful.
Fun vid, insightful selections! I'd put Reactor below Landing on Water and Pure Instict below Humanity Hour 1 but NOOOO argument on Cut the Crap!
