Since you specify anonymous, I assume you are NOT including this collabo:

Nope! Blondie have been doing terrible attempts at hip hop since way back.

I'm thinking of crap like this, which is just a retarded massacre of a great song

I'm surprised St. Anger isn't on the list.

Sez the guy who put Def Leppard,Judas Priest, and Helloween on theirs

Not everything that they have done, just the really really terrible albums for the reasons that I've explained ad nauseum. There is absolutely no point in just saying the genres/bands you hate but if we are going down that route.

Anything with Phil Collins in it.
Mike & the Mechanics
Anything by RATT (maybe not the EP)
Anything by Taylor Swift
Rebecca Black - Friday
All AOR
All hair metal with the obvious exception of Hanoi Rocks
Any song that has a random anonymous rapper for no reason whatsoever.
Limp Bizkit
Anything with Phil Collins in it.

I was mostly referring to bands that you listen on what their worst albums are. Rebecca Black? that's abit harsh shes only 12 years old lol

No it isn't. It's probably not harsh enough!

At twelve she should be in school learning to be less annoying

Eh, I don't get the hate for her.

Wait. Hanoi Rocks is a hair metal band??

In image, yeah kind of. Musically not really which is why I don't hate them.

Yeah I remember (at a tender age) buying one of their albums for the first time thinking "cool, these guys must sound like GnR." It took four songs before I threw it out haha.

That said, I'm now quite fond of them.

I love their album Two Steps from the Move. Owned it on cassette once. Loved that song "I Can't Get It" but can't say I've heard a whole bunch of their stuff. I am almost tempted by Winger's In the Heart of the Young. Winger gets a lot of hate, some deserved and some not so much, but that album had some really gross, cheesy songs on it. Little Dirty Blonde was really sickening.

Dokken..Shadowlife
Twisted Sister...A Twisted Christmas
Metallica...St. Anger
Motley Crue...Generation Swine
Van Halen...Diver Down
Judas Priest...Nostradamus
Ted Nugent...If You Can't Lick'em..Lick'em
Iron Maiden..Book Of Souls
Y&T..Down For The Count
ALL Black Metal Albums

Should be. I just didn't think of it at the time.

I've never heard St.Anger.

Okay that's all fine but Diver Down really sticks out here. Sure it may have been an EP with a only a few new tunes but the originals are really well written numbers with some of the most complex arrangements Ed had achieved thus far. Secrets and Little Guitars are both mesmerizing pop tunes--and let's not forget his first-time use of the double-neck Gibson on the former (which led to that insane double-neck Kramer on the tour) and the custom mini-Les Paul for the latter--and Full Bug and Hang 'em High are as blazing and heavy as anything before. In fact, the most boogie to arguably come from Van Halen had to be Full Bug.

And for god's sake, you got Jan Van Halen playing a smokin' clarinet on Big Bad William! Talk about a historical cameo!

That album deserves way more appreciation. Yeah, the covers are too many and pretty blase (I hate 'em except for William, and I also wish that hypnotic synth for Dancing would've been an original tune as it was intended for), but the rest of that album has some damn fine work. When I think of a "worst" album, I think of albums that have maybe, at the most, one decent song swimming in a sea of crap.

And Cathedral is quite beautiful for its time.

In the Heart of the Young is a good record. Winger get a lot of undeserved hate in my opinion. Really solid band that were a lot more than "Seventeen" and "Headed for a Heartbreak" (though I have no specific issue with those either).

Yeah both those first two albums are killer, even if the second gets a tad fluffy. That band had a sick hold on dynamic composition.

What about Brokencyde? I remember someone posting a video longer time.

That probably actually takes the cake. I would consider that for sure worse than any bad album by a band I like, and worse than any nu metal or other sub-genre I don't care for.

They are terrible.

Another generally terrible band is Attack Attack, which I first learned of when a dude I worked with who also listens to (good) metal asked me if I had ever heard of crabcore, which these dudes are, named by their stance while playing. I don't know if any other band is part of this, but man....terrible.

Metallica/Lou Reed - LuLu
Metallica - St. Anger
Megadeth - Risk
Anything Limp Bizkit
Oueensryche - Dedicated to Chaos

The same guy who introduced me to Alestorm made me aware of the existence of crabcore. Given his previous recommendation and the fact that he explained what defined crabcore, I chose to pass.

Their third album "Pull" is even better, and is generally considered their best work.

ZZ Top - Afterburner
Megadeth - Super Colider
almost every Def Leppard album after Hysteria (maybe even including said album?)
Omen - Reopening the Gates
Ozzy Osbourne - Scream
Queen - Hot Space
(Tucker/Evans) Tank - War Machine & Valley of Tears (also sorta including War Nation)
Warrant (Germany) - Metal Bridge
i guess even Saxon's Destiny (wich is kinda boring if you ask me) oh wait, i have one better....Slayer - Repentless and God Hates Us All.
