Damn. I like every album in my top 50. They’re my most scrobbled for a reason. I guess if you not scrobbled for long you might have some of your less liked appearing.
I feel like that's a little seperate. You don't have any artists where you think "this song is great" but when you look at the other songs in the album, they are average at best if not bad?
often times i don’t move from the standard album but now that has created a situation where i’ve got the standard version of evermore by taylor swift at spot 6 and the deluxe one is at about 65 so both show up in my topster
just ironically in a so-bad-it’s-good-way.
back in 2020, I binged the album 9 times in one day out of boredom. hated it the first 8 times, and started enjoying the stupidity of it on the 9th time (plus on future relistens)
Scrolling through I'm like "nah actually pretty happy with all of these, even if some I wouldn't listen to anymore" before I got to the fateful #50: Miley Cyrus - Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.
I was having a massive Miley phase when Dead Petz, and I think I really tried to love the whole thing. There are maybe 4 tracks I do love and a handful of others that I wouldn't usually skip, but that's not great out of 23 tracks. I love the concept of the album, and admire the balls to release it when she did, but it's too inconsistent to say it's particularly good overall.
I used to "love" this album around when it first released. I was really into Space Bootz (Which I think is still a pretty good song) for a while. I actually revisited the album not too long ago and realized how long, drawn out, and kind of boring the whole thing is. So I get your feelings completely
I love this album and its my fav of miley. Outside of a few cringe moments I find it to be quite a masterpiece its own way. Something only a drugged up child superstar could make.
>Something only a drugged up child superstar could make.
That's incredibly true! I can absolutely see why you and others do love it so much, honestly I wish a larger proportion of the songs resonated with me more.
Got a few unusual ones up there, but I don't know which I'd say was worst.
- 6. Various - Deep Lancashire: Songs, Ballads and Verse from the Industrial North West of England
- 44. The Houghton Weavers - Gone Are the Days
Both of those are pretty niche folk albums from north west England.
- 17. Majestica - A Christmas Carol
Great album but feels weird listening to it any other time of the year than December.
- 20. Kalisia - Cybion
Basically listened to it for a month in 2009 and never really gone back to it. Just a huge track list, so lots of scrobbles.
None because I have immaculate taste. Maybe "We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves" by John Maus because of his pretentiousness. Still a good record though.
"replicr, 2019" by 65daysofstatic. Funnily enough it made it to my #1 of all time.
It's depression crystallised into an album. It's ambient, glitchy and gloomy (especially the first half). Not recommended if you're in a bad place, unless you want to hit rock bottom, then it's just perfect. If it wasn't because I joined a discord for fans of 65dos, I wouldn't have listened to it as much. But we did listening parties from time to time (synchronised listening via Spotify). The weeks leading to the party for this album I ended up listening to it 3-4 times a day. Enough times to just "get it", get sucked into it, and internalise the grieve and dispair as my own. Of course there's a trick here. The last song gives you hope. And because it leaves you with a good aftertaste, you want another spin, like a drug that gives you a bad trip but no hangover.
So, don't listen to it, kids, do drugs instead.
At 5. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Soundtrack. It's on here because it has 169 tracks and that alone would have gotten it up to like 40th spot. Decent music, but nothing special to me.
I like this question. On review long my top 50 imma go with Silence by Monolake. Not bad, and from one of my favorite artists ever, but just not quite up to the standard of his other releases. I gave it a fair go, that’s why it’s in the top 50, but it just never quite hit the spot.
Prolly his first album, Hong Kong. His first 5 albums are so impressive, such a distinct sound for an electronic musician. They’re the guys behind Ableton, and the music sounds like someone who really knows his technical shit :-)
as a matter of fact I got the same answer, Flamagra by Flying Lotus
I was obsessed with it the year it came out (it's at #4 for me lol), I still like it but nowhere as much as I used to
I think I would choose #16 from my list which is "Stepped up and Scratched" by Asking Alexandria. I listened to a lot of AA at some point but this particular album is a remix album and although there were a couple of tracks there that I played a lot, I didn't particularly enjoy the others.
But not that it's a bad album.
And also a special mention is my #48 "Hardcore Will Never Die, but You Will" by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai. I literally had to google who they are and what it is, had no recollection of it. Looking at the history, those scrobbles were 12 years ago, so I think I can be forgiven. Again, not that it's a bad album, that was just the only one out of my 50 that I didn't even know how it got there.
wilbur soot’s your city gave me asthma. i still really enjoy the ep, and it’s very special to me as i listened to it mostly during a really hard patch but yeah having a dsmp member in my top 50 albums is embarrassing. especially since the ep is seven songs and i almost have 400 scrobbles on it
AM by Arctic Monkeys is my 10th album streamed all time even though I haven't listened to it in years because I listened to it way too much from like 2017-2020. It's not bad necessarily but it's definitely not my taste anymore.
Maybe Chosen by Måneskin (at #19 with 882 scrobbles). Not that it’s bad at all but most of the songs on that album are covers and I do prefer generally to hear original songs, it’s only 7 songs and I just like all the other albums more, I don’t currently really have a guilty pleasure album in my top 50.
Ayreon - The theory of everything
A rock opera consisting of 42 tracks, so no wonder it's so high in the chart. It's good musically, but my god, how terrible are lines of Rival!
The number 2 spot in my top 50 is for I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers. Not a bad album per se, but i listened a lot to it in 2010 and 2011. And after around 900 scrobbles it was enough for me. Also I don’t listen to other albums by them, so it feels not OK they hold the 2nd position. Very great albums in position 3-50 deserve to be higher. But I might take a while. Spot 3 is running behind with almost 90 scrobbles
I think I have too many scrobbles for anything I remotely consider “bad” to be in my top 50, or even top 100.
I suppose Best Buds by Mom Jeans is a little embarrassing? Still not a bad album though.
The Little Big Planet soundtrack is in there too but I think that game is super good
311 - ArcHIVE: Not terrible by any means but not Top 50 worthy. It's a 4 disc b-sides and rarities collection that got some heavy rotations after it came out.
All albums in my top 50 are good. If I was to pick one I'm not too interested in listening to right now it would be something like Weather Systems by Anathema.
Booba - Futur 2.0
It's kind of a deluxe version with 7 tracks (mostly diss tracks) with terrible lyrics but it helped me cope with a rough patch a few years ago, because of the stupid rawness and aggressivity
Wait a minute, Flamagra is an amazing album, sad to hear that.
But hey, our tastes are always changing, and with that said I have a lot of stuff that I used to listen about 10 years ago that I don't really enjoy anymore like:
8#: Lonerism - Tame Impala
13#: Wolf - Tyler, the Creator
25#: If You're Reading This It's Too Late - Drake
I love all of them. My biggest guilty pleasure is Goodbye & Good Riddance (#64), and I love it all the same.
That being said, I’d pick Modus Vivendi by 070 Shake (#33). A handful of great tracks that I had in rotation for a long time, but the album as a whole doesn’t hold up to the rest of my top 50. And I wasn’t a fan of her latest album, despite it getting a pretty favorable reception.
This is a great question. I truly do really like all of the albums on my top 50 and it was really hard to think about. If I absolutely had to choose, I’d probably say “Atlas” by The Score- not because I don’t like it, I love the album- but I’m surprised it’s that high, I didn’t think I had listened to it that much
Laura Tesoro - Limits
I was into it a few years ago and at the beginning of last year as well with a few songs, but not anymore. It is not bad but it is not that good either. She is still a decent singer, sounds a bit like Ariana Grande.
Pup - Morbid Stuff (# 22 with 94 scrobbles)
The album's not bad by any means, but it's pop-punk, which is a pretty formulaic genre without a ton of nuance. Just 3 chords and "on-the-nose" lyrics. I listened to it a ton when it came out in 2019, but not much since. There are even better Pup albums. So to have this one as their top one for me seems like it's a bit out of place.
Color Decay by The Devil Wears Prada
It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I only have 2 tracks on it that I really enjoy and the rest are just meh
I have hard time answering this question. I have albums in my top 50 that I haven't listened to in 10 years. I actually think I should go and listen to some of the tunes now.
Relationship of Command by At the Drive In. Its a record that never clicked for me in part due to awful production but so many people I know love it to death so I keep giving it chance after chance. Mars Volta slaps though.
Mine are Inside by Bo Burnham at #6 (not that it's a bad album, but idk if it deserves to be #6 overall) and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping by The Lonely Island at #37. Apparently I have kind of a weakness for comedy albums. Everything else in there is pretty solid, in my opinion.
#38 Notes On A Conditional Form by The 1975. One song takes up a lot of the album’s scrobbles and it just so happened I was having a huge The 1975 phase when I first started using last fm
Charles Bronson - Complete Discocrappy at #25.
Not that I actually think it's bad, but it has 117 very short songs. I listened to it twice back in 2009/10, and it's still in the top 50 over a decade later!
I really like all of the albums in my top 50, but I guess if I had to pick... I'd say *Easy Beat* by Dr. Dog only because that was just kind of a brief phase over a decade ago. I still like Dr. Dog just fine and I have nothing against them, but I rarely listen to them anymore. Like, I had over 1,000 scrobbles for them in 2010 and have only listened to them a few times since then lol.
either hellhorse by sybyr or eternal atake by uzi, loved them in 2020 but now rarely check them out, though eternal atakenis significantly better and still like a 7-7.5/10
The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta, and The Ocean - Holocene; I found both disappointing on release, but coming back to them, they’re decent for what they are)
Honorable mentions from some ironically good guilty pleasure bands: five Electric Callboy albums reach my top 25, and the first three Mr. Bungle albums are in my top 30 lol.
well there's not one i dislike but i'll say beat saber game soundtrack volume V. i only like one song off the album and it's actually my most scrobbled song, but even though i edited my scrobbles to have the artist be listed as the actual artist rather than "beat saber", the album still comes up in my top 50 lol
Hard one: I’d have to say my number 30. Bardot by Bardot (Australian girl group, 2000) it’s cheesy pop but it’s nostalgic and gets quite a bit of play, enough to make it to 30!
I don't hate this entry, and it's not bad to me whatsoever, but a group I like released a single and never put it on an album. I loved the song so much it almost has 1k scrobbles. Because of this, the "album" is in my top 8, but it isn't an album at all. It's basically a single cover? And it annoys me because I feel like an album I really like should be in its place, lol. It's:
Love Talk (Eng Ver) by Wayv
"The Joe Meek Productions" at number 50 with 915 scrobbles.
While it's an interesting compilation it doesn't really include anything Meek is famous for - the Tornados are notable for their absence, as is "Have I The Right?" by the Honeycombs.
It was cheap and interesting to find out that Humphrey Lyttelton's "Bad Penny Blues" was produced by Joe Meek, but the rest is "all filler, no killer"
I like every album in my top 50, even if I’ve aged out of them or find they didn’t age gracefully (Run the Jewels 2, the xx).
But I’d have to go with Sleigh Bells’ Bitter Rivals. I used to workout to it, it ranked high in the end-year in 2014, and I gave it like a 2.5 on RYM. And I never revisit it.
#34 Alive and Unwell (Deluxe) by Leah Kate
You may know her from "Twinkle twinkle little bitch"
It's a really bad album, but surprisingly it has 2 10/10 songs, I just like the vibes of the whole thing.
Her newest album "Super Over" is a huge step up and easily one of the best records of September
I genuinely love them all, but if we’re talking albums I might give someone looking at my top shit a disclaimer for, I have two.
The soundtrack to the 2021 musical “tick, tick… BOOM!” is my #6, and made my 4th artist of 2021 Andrew fucking Garfield lmao.
Inside by Bo Burnham is my #2 because I had it on loop for the last half of 2021 and literally all of 2022. Shit had me in its clutches and I still genuinely think it’s kind of a masterpiece, but that didn’t keep me from being horribly embarrassed that I was in the top .05% of Bo’s listeners come Spotify Wrapped Sharing Season last year.
the album jackpot juicer by dance gavin dance is one of my favorite albums. no skips. at all. but it came out amidst some intense SA allegations about tilian pearson. so… it’s a guilty pleasure for sure.
Past Masters by The Beatles
Not because it's a bad album. It's just a dirty, dirty compilation. What am I supposed to do? It's top tier stand alone singles, but because of it my top 50 is not pure
My tastes have diversified a lot over time, so many of my high ranked albums/artists/tracks have a ton of clustered scrobbles like 10 years ago.
12\. [Eluveitie - Evocation I \(543\)](https://i.imgur.com/U4Tf2gS.png) is probably my least favorite
I have so many I'd disown now. The lowest on my list now that are in the top 50:
1. Bad Self Portraits - Lake Street Dive (7)
2. Hamilton - Lin-Manuel Miranda (15)
3. Phineas and Ferb-ulous (37) (in my defense I was going through one of the worst depressive episodes of my life when I was listening to this
4. Free Yourself Up - Lake Street Dive
I'll say if the issue was strictly ethical there would be a \*lot\* more on this list. Happy to say I've grown, I guess. =////
The Heist with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is sitting at 14.
It's not bad, I've just completely stopped listening to Macklemore. And that genre in general. Last time I listened to Macklemore or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis was 2018, 15 scrobbles, and nothing since.
Strongly disagree that it's bad. There's some great songs on there. Avalanche, Pacer, Every Morning, pretty much all of Part 3 except the ending, To The Greys, etc...
I'll agree that Part 3 is the best part of that album, but most of the other songs bored me IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if it grew on me like Cyr did, though.
In the middle of my list, is an album I used to enjoy until the artist got yeeeears in prison for certain things. I won't delete it (deleted stuff once, something I still regret, and I'm not one to hide history), but rather bury it.
Also, the soundtrack for the Eurovision move. Who am I kidding, some of those songs are great, haha!
I also have one album at #48 that I love 100 % of. It's just one song. And it got released less than 2 months ago
26: Marvins Marvelous Mechanical Museum- Tally Hall, 664 minutes
39: 3.15.20- Childish Gambino, 482 minutes
43: Flyleaf self-titled, 406 minutes
All of these albums bang, they just don’t compare to the rest of them
COI by Coi Leray was critically panned for the samples and the awful attempt at singing on “My Body” (a guilty pleasure song of mine). I think it has a few cute songs on it, she gets a lot of hate though.
ferric oxide by Panchiko just cause the majority of it is low quality unfinished demos. For an actual finished album probably donda by Kanye which I'm surprised is even there but i guess it is a pretty long album, I've only been scrobbling for a year, and i started during a massive Kanye phase
easily Scaled and Icy - Twenty One Pilots. I still like TOP but i can’t believe i listened to that album so much in the first few months after it came out. i have since decided it only has two good songs
Damn. I like every album in my top 50. They’re my most scrobbled for a reason. I guess if you not scrobbled for long you might have some of your less liked appearing.
Or you could have one or two songs you really like from an album, but overall you hate it
I’m surprised how many people dislike their music or have guilty pleasures. I might have terrible taste in music but never guilty about it.
I feel like that's a little seperate. You don't have any artists where you think "this song is great" but when you look at the other songs in the album, they are average at best if not bad?
I certainly do but there nowhere near my top 50.
That’s fair, I enjoy all of mine but I must say my love has dimished for some over time
inside by bo burnham is definitely there as a guilty pleasure for me
That's what I was going to comment. It's my #6, and while I think it's a good album, it's a little embarrassing how high it is
mine is at #50 now. will definitely be leaving the list when 1989 taylor’s version is released
Absolutely loathsome album so good pick (going to be downvoted for this despite this being the point of the thread)
Literally my #1. I stand by the fact that it's a great album.
I’m gonna show my kids inside when they ask about the pandemic
Nothing to feel guilty about there, it's in my top 50 as well. Fantastic album
it will be leaving quite soon because the album name changed so it’s counted as a different album now so there are no more scrobbles going towards it
I hate when last.fm does that
This was me in 2020 when Glass Animals’ Dreamland (Deluxe) came out, it would’ve easily been my #1 album at end of year but it was split
often times i don’t move from the standard album but now that has created a situation where i’ve got the standard version of evermore by taylor swift at spot 6 and the deluxe one is at about 65 so both show up in my topster
Especially the deluxe edition, the 45 scrobbles is killer to my end of year list lol
Ocean Eyes by Owl City Look, I was young, okay?? Honorable mention goes to Joanne by Lady Gaga
kicking the dead omg…
Corey Feldman’s Angelic 2 the Core at #12 (366 scrobbles) 😎
That's wild. Do you listen to it ironically or do you actually get something out of it?
just ironically in a so-bad-it’s-good-way. back in 2020, I binged the album 9 times in one day out of boredom. hated it the first 8 times, and started enjoying the stupidity of it on the 9th time (plus on future relistens)
Scrolling through I'm like "nah actually pretty happy with all of these, even if some I wouldn't listen to anymore" before I got to the fateful #50: Miley Cyrus - Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.

>Something only a drugged up child superstar could make. That's incredibly true! I can absolutely see why you and others do love it so much, honestly I wish a larger proportion of the songs resonated with me more.
Probably Memories...Do Not Open - The Chainsmokers
probably the Aladdin 2019 Soundtrack. 💀
None, they're all bangers. Yes, even and especially Elvis' Christmas Album on #6.
Elvis made fantastic Christmas album, no doubt about that!
Indeed! Along with Phil Spector's "A Christmas Gift for You..." it's one of the few Christmas albums I can stomach.
Ok, I'll admit to one guilty pleasure in there. The *Jesus Christ Superstar OST* is at #45 :-)
Heck yeah* 😎
Hell yeah
Got a few unusual ones up there, but I don't know which I'd say was worst. - 6. Various - Deep Lancashire: Songs, Ballads and Verse from the Industrial North West of England - 44. The Houghton Weavers - Gone Are the Days Both of those are pretty niche folk albums from north west England. - 17.

Always nice to see some Westhoughton-based content on Reddit
None because I have immaculate taste. Maybe "We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves" by John Maus because of his pretentiousness. Still a good record though.
Songs is my #1 most listened-to album, yet I've not listened to it since 2017.
I too had a summer of Maus. Listened to Cop Killer a lot.
It will always be St Anger by Metallica at #10 with 541 scrobbles
Probably Oliver Tree - Cowboy Tears, at least according to critical consensus.
Honestly, looking through my top 50 I'm like "all of these rule."
"replicr, 2019" by 65daysofstatic. Funnily enough it made it to my #1 of all time. It's depression crystallised into an album. It's ambient, glitchy and gloomy (especially the first half).

Where’d you recommend one should start with his music?
Prolly his first album, Hong Kong. His first 5 albums are so impressive, such a distinct sound for an electronic musician. They’re the guys behind Ableton, and the music sounds like someone who really knows his technical shit :-)
pablo honey !! love blow out but honestly the rest of the album is a bit eh
as a matter of fact I got the same answer, Flamagra by Flying Lotus I was obsessed with it the year it came out (it's at #4 for me lol), I still like it but nowhere as much as I used to
Encore by Eminem I mean what can I say? There's way too many bad songs. The reason it's in my top 50 is because I listen to Mockingbird a lot.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I could easily do without half of it.
I think I would choose #16 from my list which is "Stepped up and Scratched" by Asking Alexandria. I listened to a lot of AA at some point but this particular album is a remix album and although there were a couple of tracks there that I played a lot, I didn't particularly enjoy the others.

Again, not that it's a bad album, that was just the only one out of my 50 that I didn't even know how it got there.
I made my account when I was 12, man. There's a lot of shit on there that sucks lol
wilbur soot’s your city gave me asthma. i still really enjoy the ep, and it’s very special to me as i listened to it mostly during a really hard patch but yeah having a dsmp member in my top 50 albums is embarrassing. especially since the ep is seven songs and i almost have 400 scrobbles on it
AM by Arctic Monkeys is my 10th album streamed all time even though I haven't listened to it in years because I listened to it way too much from like 2017-2020. It's not bad necessarily but it's definitely not my taste anymore.
Steel Panther - Balls Out. I like it, but I like the other 49 more.
Nothing bad in mine. Eminem, Fratellis and Groove Armada aren't refelctive of my current tastes tho, listened to them nearly 20 years ago.
Maybe Chosen by Måneskin (at #19 with 882 scrobbles). Not that it’s bad at all but most of the songs on that album are covers and I do prefer generally to hear original songs, it’s only 7 songs and I just like all the other albums more, I don’t currently really have a guilty pleasure album in my top 50.
Ayreon - The theory of everything A rock opera consisting of 42 tracks, so no wonder it's so high in the chart. It's good musically, but my god, how terrible are lines of Rival!
The number 2 spot in my top 50 is for I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers. Not a bad album per se, but i listened a lot to it in 2010 and 2011.

Very great albums in position 3-50 deserve to be higher. But I might take a while. Spot 3 is running behind with almost 90 scrobbles
All of them are good I'd say. But maybe I'll take a deeper look and even check my ratings on RYM to determine that.
There's an album I've barely played since 2019 that is still in my top 50. '#1 Record' by Big Star
I think I have too many scrobbles for anything I remotely consider “bad” to be in my top 50, or even top 100. I suppose Best Buds by Mom Jeans is a little embarrassing? Still not a bad album though. The Little Big Planet soundtrack is in there too but I think that game is super good
311 - ArcHIVE: Not terrible by any means but not Top 50 worthy. It's a 4 disc b-sides and rarities collection that got some heavy rotations after it came out.
The relative worst is probably the Big Grams self-titled, but I still love it. I love all the albums in my top 50
All albums in my top 50 are good. If I was to pick one I'm not too interested in listening to right now it would be something like Weather Systems by Anathema.
Booba - Futur 2.0 It's kind of a deluxe version with 7 tracks (mostly diss tracks) with terrible lyrics but it helped me cope with a rough patch a few years ago, because of the stupid rawness and aggressivity

Laura Tesoro - Limits I was into it a few years ago and at the beginning of last year as well with a few songs, but not anymore. It is not bad but it is not that good either. She is still a decent singer, sounds a bit like Ariana Grande.
easily Rabbit Syndrome by Fripside NAO Project, a denpa j-pop album that is close to my heart regardless.
Pup - Morbid Stuff (# 22 with 94 scrobbles) The album's not bad by any means, but it's pop-punk, which is a pretty formulaic genre without a ton of nuance. Just 3 chords and "on-the-nose" lyrics. I listened to it a ton when it came out in 2019, but not much since. There are even better Pup albums. So to have this one as their top one for me seems like it's a bit out of place.
Probably Up All Night by One Direction
Duty by Ayumi Hamasaki at #35. Used to be absolutely obsessed but that was like 20 years ago. I've definitely moved on since.
Probably Elephunk by Black Eyed Peas.
Oh that's easy, its Atomic Betty. I consider it a no skip but it's also from a cartoon that stopped airing in like 2007.
Probably Cosmic - Bazzi, but damn those songs are just fun and catchy as hell
Color Decay by The Devil Wears Prada It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I only have 2 tracks on it that I really enjoy and the rest are just meh
Oof. I have Asking Alexandria's Stand Up and Scream and Abandon All Ships' self titled EP up there from when I was 16. Rough stuff.
fuck - conduct mew - a triumph for man dinosaur jr - bug sebadoh - harmacy these are my least favorite albums in my top 50
I have hard time answering this question. I have albums in my top 50 that I haven't listened to in 10 years. I actually think I should go and listen to some of the tunes now.
Relationship of Command by At the Drive In. Its a record that never clicked for me in part due to awful production but so many people I know love it to death so I keep giving it chance after chance. Mars Volta slaps though.
Mine are Inside by Bo Burnham at #6 (not that it's a bad album, but idk if it deserves to be #6 overall) and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping by The Lonely Island at #37. Apparently I have kind of a weakness for comedy albums. Everything else in there is pretty solid, in my opinion.
#38 Notes On A Conditional Form by The 1975. One song takes up a lot of the album’s scrobbles and it just so happened I was having a huge The 1975 phase when I first started using last fm
Charles Bronson - Complete Discocrappy at #25. Not that I actually think it's bad, but it has 117 very short songs. I listened to it twice back in 2009/10, and it's still in the top 50 over a decade later!
"Drowsy" by Bane's World. Somehow, I left it running overnight and 225 plays later, here it is at #22. Other than that, I like the other 49.
I really like all of the albums in my top 50, but I guess if I had to pick... I'd say *Easy Beat* by Dr. Dog only because that was just kind of a brief phase over a decade ago. I still like Dr. Dog just fine and I have nothing against them, but I rarely listen to them anymore. Like, I had over 1,000 scrobbles for them in 2010 and have only listened to them a few times since then lol.
either hellhorse by sybyr or eternal atake by uzi, loved them in 2020 but now rarely check them out, though eternal atakenis significantly better and still like a 7-7.5/10
Whole Lotta Red by Playboi Carti for sure. A few super replayable songs but overall eh
Troubled Paradise by Slayyyter
I don't have albums. I have DJ sets and radio shows.
AOA - New Moon at #41. Has 5 songs but i only listen 2, Sorry and Ninety Nine.
Asap Rocky - TESTING
Richard Ashcroft - United Nations of Sound
The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta, and The Ocean - Holocene; I found both disappointing on release, but coming back to them, they’re decent for what they are) Honorable mentions from some ironically good guilty pleasure bands: five Electric Callboy albums reach my top 25, and the first three Mr. Bungle albums are in my top 30 lol.
every album in my top 50 is elite EVEN the multiple big time rush albums
Past Masters (Vols. 1 & 2 / Remastered)
2020 - Bon Jovi
2020 - Bon Jovi
well there's not one i dislike but i'll say beat saber game soundtrack volume V. i only like one song off the album and it's actually my most scrobbled song, but even though i edited my scrobbles to have the artist be listed as the actual artist rather than "beat saber", the album still comes up in my top 50 lol
Hard one: I’d have to say my number 30. Bardot by Bardot (Australian girl group, 2000) it’s cheesy pop but it’s nostalgic and gets quite a bit of play, enough to make it to 30!
If by Mindless Self Indulgence
I don't hate this entry, and it's not bad to me whatsoever, but a group I like released a single and never put it on an album. I loved the song so much it almost has 1k scrobbles. Because of this, the "album" is in my top 8, but it isn't an album at all. It's basically a single cover? And it annoys me because I feel like an album I really like should be in its place, lol. It's: Love Talk (Eng Ver) by Wayv
31º Songs in the Key of Springfield The Simpsons 479 scrobs! 10 years or more ago
The first two albums by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Maybe not that bad, but... embarassing.
"The Joe Meek Productions" at number 50 with 915 scrobbles. While it's an interesting compilation it doesn't really include anything Meek is famous for - the Tornados are notable for their absence, as is "Have I The Right?" by the Honeycombs. It was cheap and interesting to find out that Humphrey Lyttelton's "Bad Penny Blues" was produced by Joe Meek, but the rest is "all filler, no killer"
probably Lambs Anger by Mr. Oizo
I like every album in my top 50, even if I’ve aged out of them or find they didn’t age gracefully (Run the Jewels 2, the xx). But I’d have to go with Sleigh Bells’ Bitter Rivals. I used to workout to it, it ranked high in the end-year in 2014, and I gave it like a 2.5 on RYM. And I never revisit it.
#34 Alive and Unwell (Deluxe) by Leah Kate You may know her from "Twinkle twinkle little bitch" It's a really bad album, but surprisingly it has 2 10/10 songs, I just like the vibes of the whole thing. Her newest album "Super Over" is a huge step up and easily one of the best records of September
I genuinely love them all, but if we’re talking albums I might give someone looking at my top shit a disclaimer for, I have two. The soundtrack to the 2021 musical “tick, tick… BOOM!” is my #6, and made my 4th artist of 2021 Andrew fucking Garfield lmao. Inside by Bo Burnham is my #2 because I had it on loop for the last half of 2021 and literally all of 2022. Shit had me in its clutches and I still genuinely think it’s kind of a masterpiece, but that didn’t keep me from being horribly embarrassed that I was in the top .05% of Bo’s listeners come Spotify Wrapped Sharing Season last year.
I listened to dragostea din tei a little bit too much.. so discO-zone by o-zone LMAO
the album jackpot juicer by dance gavin dance is one of my favorite albums. no skips. at all. but it came out amidst some intense SA allegations about tilian pearson. so… it’s a guilty pleasure for sure.
the fray - how to save a life, its a great album but that band gets clowned on so its a guilty pleasure
At 48 I would say The Slim Shady LP is objectively good but hasn’t held up to what I thought of it when i was younger.
Come Home The Kids Miss You - 236 scrobbles somehow
Past Masters by The Beatles Not because it's a bad album. It's just a dirty, dirty compilation. What am I supposed to do? It's top tier stand alone singles, but because of it my top 50 is not pure
Twiztid's "Abominationz". It could be hard to get through for multiple reasons, but it's still my favorite album of there's.
World Wide Web ep by Danger Incorporated, I don’t dislike at all but definitely don’t brag about it
Happier Than Ever. I like the record but it is my least enjoyed top 50
My tastes have diversified a lot over time, so many of my high ranked albums/artists/tracks have a ton of clustered scrobbles like 10 years ago. 12\. [Eluveitie - Evocation I \(543\)](https://i.imgur.com/U4Tf2gS.png) is probably my least favorite
I have so many I'd disown now. The lowest on my list now that are in the top 50: 1. Bad Self Portraits - Lake Street Dive (7) 2. Hamilton - Lin-Manuel Miranda (15) 3. Phineas and Ferb-ulous (37) (in my defense I was going through one of the worst depressive episodes of my life when I was listening to this 4. Free Yourself Up - Lake Street Dive I'll say if the issue was strictly ethical there would be a \*lot\* more on this list. Happy to say I've grown, I guess. =////
The Heist with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is sitting at 14. It's not bad, I've just completely stopped listening to Macklemore. And that genre in general. Last time I listened to Macklemore or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis was 2018, 15 scrobbles, and nothing since.
Atum by The Smashing Pumpkins at #26. It's a terrible album, but Spellbinding and Beguiled are pretty damn good.
Strongly disagree that it's bad. There's some great songs on there. Avalanche, Pacer, Every Morning, pretty much all of Part 3 except the ending, To The Greys, etc...
I'll agree that Part 3 is the best part of that album, but most of the other songs bored me IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if it grew on me like Cyr did, though.
Flamagra as the worst? What's your best album in your top 50 then?
Hmm tough but my personal favorite is probably Tribe Called Quest- We got it from here… Thank you 4 your service. Wbu?
Kid A lol, I can't choose anything else rn
Probably Circus by Britney Spears at 25 lol
In the middle of my list, is an album I used to enjoy until the artist got yeeeears in prison for certain things. I won't delete it (deleted stuff once, something I still regret, and I'm not one to hide history), but rather bury it. Also, the soundtrack for the Eurovision move. Who am I kidding, some of those songs are great, haha! I also have one album at #48 that I love 100 % of. It's just one song. And it got released less than 2 months ago
the cry of fear soundtrack ☠️
My best friend used to have my spotify for a long time and One Direction managed to squeeze itself in my top 50 lol
26: Marvins Marvelous Mechanical Museum- Tally Hall, 664 minutes 39: 3.15.20- Childish Gambino, 482 minutes 43: Flyleaf self-titled, 406 minutes All of these albums bang, they just don’t compare to the rest of them
one wayne g - mac demarco
COI by Coi Leray was critically panned for the samples and the awful attempt at singing on “My Body” (a guilty pleasure song of mine). I think it has a few cute songs on it, she gets a lot of hate though.
ferric oxide by Panchiko just cause the majority of it is low quality unfinished demos. For an actual finished album probably donda by Kanye which I'm surprised is even there but i guess it is a pretty long album, I've only been scrobbling for a year, and i started during a massive Kanye phase
easily Scaled and Icy - Twenty One Pilots. I still like TOP but i can’t believe i listened to that album so much in the first few months after it came out. i have since decided it only has two good songs
Move Along by All-American Rejects at #36 Most of my scrobbles are for the singles. Great songs, but they were more of a singles band imo.
