Didn't say it would be easy - and I've already changed my mind...

You are lucky I was tempted to copy and paste the top 1000 albums you should listen to before you die.
Behave yourself or I might still do it.

Massively overrated album...

Dreams of the blue turtle. Sting. So ****ing boring.

Worst album by a fantastic band... The final cut by Pink Floyd. The song writing could have been done by a five year old.

Most successful but **** artist... George Michael.

New categories for you to mull over <ok>
 
Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
John Mayer - Continuum
Linkin Park - Bleed it Out
Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit
Eric Clapton - Time Pieces

Although Reign in Blood (Anthrax), Master of Puppets (Metallica) and Mutter (Rammstein) would easily be in the top ten.
