Kilroy Was Here |
| 3 |  | MC Hammer
The Funky Headhunter
“This album is not that bad. There's a lot of good stuff here, but it was never going to succeed because it's all in the service of such a bad idea. Honestly, he might have had a better chance if he just stayed MC Hammer.” |
| 4 |  | Oasis
Be Here Now |
| 5 |  | Van Halen
Van Halen III |
| 6 |  | Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mardi Gras
“I have listened to this album a bunch of times now, and I still can’t remember Doug's songs, and I remember Stu's songs for all the wrong reasons. It's a death rattle from a group of very unhappy people working against each other rather than together, everyone in it comes off like an asshole.” |
| 7 |  | Billy Idol
Cyberpunk
“God, that's an ugly ass album cover. That alone is a bad omen.” |
| 8 |  | Lauryn Hill
MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 |
| 9 |  | Madonna
American Life |
| 10 |  | Robin Thicke
Paula |
| 11 |  | The Clash
Cut the Crap
“EVERY bad decision on this album can be traced back to Bernie [Rhodes]. Fans who have heard early versions of the songs in concert said they sounded good. Bernie forced that electronic shit on the band against Joe's wishes. He changed the title at the last second to the one with “crap” in the title - thanks for that! - He‘s the one who made the greatest punk band in history sound like every other shit act on MTV.” |
| 12 |  | Hootie and The Blowfish
Fairweather Johnson |
| 13 |  | The Beach Boys
Summer in Paradise
“Under Mike Love's tenure, the Beach Boys, one of the greatest bands in history, became artists on the same level as David Hasselhoff.” |
