I would bet good money that the writer never even polled anyone and just pulled the list out of his ass. Writers are known to do that.

It's the daily mail - a bunch of lying right wing fucktards. They led the country into brexit by saying it was all good and wouldn't affect us badly, only the day after to tell us how deeply fucked we're gonna be. If readers of the mail who could be convinced of that think it's bad then that's kinda a validation. From a bunch of racist fucktards. . However, still love u all to the max purple family! Xoxox

WHY isn't Chris Brown on this list? Prince certainly should not be on it!

You're kidding, right? Never seen Die Hard or Pulp Fiction? Or the countless other films that he was in? For Bruce, music was just a little extra. He had his big breakthrough with the (very funny) TV series Moonlighting in 1987 and I guess because of that, his first album also sold well. His version of Under the Boardwalk was a hit back in 87. As for the album, it was fun, something you shouldn't take too seriously.

Bon Jovi is a horrible bland rock band. I can't fathom the album that contains Damn U as being worse than any Bon JOvi period. And I am a rock fan.

No album by Justin Timberlake, Michael Bolton and/or Bon Jovi is better than any album by Prince. NONE!

Slippery when wet, These Days, Have a Nice Day, actually, ALL Bon Jovi albums (with the exception of their last album) are better than quite a few of Prince’s albums. Kamasutra, HitnRun Phase One, 20ten, Goldnigga, Love Symbol and a few others are not good. At all. I'd even put all 3 of JT's solo albums ahead of those Prince albums. And it pains me to say that... I agree with you about Michael Bolton though smile




That's where our opinions differ. For me, one or two good songs like Damn U doesn't cover for the other crap songs on that album. Now, Bon Jovi's last album was quite bad, there's like, 2 good songs on it and the rest is pretty shit, but the albums I named above, along with Crush, New Jersey and This Left Feels Right are so much better than any of the Prince albums I mentioned. Prince is my favourite artist of all time, but he did have a few bad albums.

Wow. Bon Jovi & Justin Timberlake albums are better than those Prince albums?

Let's agree to disagree and express our Love 4 One Another, despite our differences.

Wow.


Wow, indeed.

The Return of Bruno is a tremendous album...it's a soundtrack in wait of a film...I'm fairly certain that's what David Addison...sorry Bruce Willis... meant to do with it. From the smirk on the cover to the cover of the boardwalk to funtime to Flirting with Disaster...ah I can see it all unveiling in my mind's eye.

Oh, and Come is quite a good album too.

I've just realised I know far too much about a Bruce Willis album.

Oh, and the Daily Mail...Planet Earth is better than Come? That's too funny for words.

While music surveys are rarely scientific and the results typically laughable, I smell a real skunk with this one. The general public and even many music fans haven't heard of many of these albums to even vote against them. I can't think of any of my friends who even know the Come album but are aware of many of Prince's 1980s albums. Similarly, Bob Dylan's Saved and the Lou Reed selections were unlikely heard by the masses. It makes me think they were picking from some kind of list of supposedly horrible albums. I don't think people could recall on the top of their heads many of these, including COME. The one thing that made me smile was that Britanny Spears Greatest Hits was on there. People do know these songs, and it is pretty special to have your greatest songs making the list, bogus or not.

I like the Come album. Letitgo, Pheromone, Space and the title track are all solid songs. The rest, I could take or leave, but there are plenty of worse albums than Come. I wouldn't even say it was Prince's worst album.

Happy to see Britney Spears greatest hits on it though, but any Prince album on this list is an insult to his legacy.

He wasn't perfect and did make some albums that ranged from bad to terrible, but even his worst album wasn't bad enough to be among the 50 worst albums ever. I'm sure the likes of Pitbull and Lil Wayne are more deserving of such a list.

Just look at the number ones in my country over the years that is more embarrassing. If a song like Agadoo by Black Lace can get to number 2 in the UK chart in 84 thats all you need to know. Thank god i learned about good music.

These surveys are just nonsense. To make a true assessment of the "worst albums of all time" the people surveyed would have to listen to all albums of all time shrug which is clearly not possible lol. These articles only appeal to people with only 2 brain cells in their heads:roll:.

Don't bother. He's an actor and making music was just a hobby to him. Which doesn't mean the music is bad, but you won't miss much either.
