26.) Foetus Symphony Orchestra-York

I love Jim Thirlwell. My blog is named after one of his songs fer Christsakes! That out of the way, this is the worst album he recorded. Done after he was dumped by Sony, the album is a collaboration with Lydia Lunch that details a tour through the seedier, more unpleasent parts of New York. Sounds good, right? Well it would be if it didn't sound exactly like that, only less exciting and with pretentious, monotonous jazz noodling as music. Fortunately, he's made up for this, but it's still a bad album.

25.) Michael Jackson-HIStory

Some will tell you that Invincible is the worst Michael Jackson recorded, but they are mistaken. HIStory is a monumental achievement in ego, from the huge statue he constructed to celebrate the album, to shitty stabs at angry pop music with "They Don't Care About US" ("Scream" is a pretty fucking awesome song though) to the absolutely creepy (This came after the first trial) "Childhood", HIStory is his worse album. Though it should be mentioned again that "Scream" is a pretty badass song.

24.) Madonna-American Life

Question: What's the worst album Madonna ever recorded? Answer: American Life. If you want to hear an American billionaire with a fake British accent complain about what she thinks is wrong with America, this is the album for you. Otherwise, you should avoid. Oh, and don't forget the title track, which has Madonna rapping, and nearly destroying Hip Hop.
