Is it the worse albums of all time?

Amazingly, you are correct. The worst albums of all time, as chosen by DJ's, pop critics, and young popstars, in a 1998 Melody Maker Poll.
I have to say that while there are a few overrated albums in the list, I wouldn't consider them the worst of all time (well, perhaps Whitney Houston. but even she is way better than Mariah Carey).

That's weird! I actually like lots of them!

Yeah but that's from a DJ point of view though: Many of them don't count as club / dance music, do they... I mean you're not gonna shake your stuff on Brother in Arms are you? :-?

I remember this poll Fram...that's how I knew. Funny enough Sgt Pepper's is also quite often no.1 on the BEST albums of all time as well. Maybe we should all do our best & worst top 10 albums or artists herefor a bit of a laugh and more than likely a bit of a stir :)
