"St. Anger" by Metallica
D1
"St. Anger" by MetallicaIt's one of the most legendary bombs of all time -- the biggest rock band in the world turning in a tuneless blast of cacophonous trash-can banging. How did the much-maligned "St. Anger" turn Metallica from gods of metal to rock-and-roll punchlines?
"Crash" by The Human League
D2
"Crash" by The Human LeagueThe Human League recruit Janet Jackson's producers and try to get funky. Yes, the "Don't You Want Me" band. Yes, it's as awkward as it sounds.
"Turn It Upside Down" by Spin Doctors
D3
"Turn It Upside Down" by Spin DoctorsIf you want to destroy your career with a obnoxious terrible second album, just go ahead now. The Spin Doctors kicked off the '90s jam band explosion but fell behind when they decided tunelessness was their path to cred.
"Passage" by Carpenters
D4
"Passage" by CarpentersCalling occupants of interplanetary what? Faced with falling sales and a sinking profile, '70s soft rock superstars the Carpenters tried everything to revive their careers: jazz, country, showtunes, and - aliens. Seriously, aliens.
Edgar Winter and L. Ron Hubbard's "Mission Earth"
D5
