1. Hear 'n Aid - Stars
1986 Stars… Remember Usa for Africa? Well this is Heavy Metal for Africa a Catastrophic nonprofit record project. Dio band, Ronnie J Dio, Vivian Campbell Vinnie Appice and Jimmy Bain compose a song named Stars, the song its not good enough So they invited some friends to make it more interesting to help the African child’s… They joined with various Heavy Metal Gods like D. Coverdale, R Hallford, G Tate, B Dickinson, Kiss, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Malmsteen ,T Iommi… unfortunately the song was too bad and weak, plus the high ego doses in the interpretation make it worse. At that time Wendy Dio Said : the project leadership and participants were well aware that the funds raised from similar events such as Band Aid were squandered due to governmental corruption as well as suffering from general disorganization,Yes maybe thats a good answer of why they fail, unfortunately the song was really bad and no one can make it sounds better even the Metalgods.
2. Black Sabbath - Never Say Die!
1978 Breakout/ Swinging the Chain…. The experimental journey of one of the most forgettable BS records this song starts with an instrumental experimentation of the jazz boundaries with a heavy metal riff , after that start the song sung by Bill Ward about politics, hitler and drugs.
3. Metallica - Re-Load
1997 The Memory remains… Great beginning , riffing like metallica’s best songs kind of , but unfortunately the singing of Marianne Faithfull ruin the song  in every aspect not Faithfull fault.
4. Judas Priest - Ram It Down
1988 Johnny b Good…Originally made it for the movie of the same name, Is One the greatest songs in Rock & Roll history , everyone remember Marty Mcfly Playing that song in Back to The Future or the Original sung by Chuck Berry, But amazingly one of the greatest bands in HM History almost ruined.
5. Helloween - Pink Bubbles Go Ape
1987 Heavy Metal Hamsters… it is IMO the worst record of Helloween and Heavy Metal Hamster it is a terrible song about, I don’t really know what they try to said about hamsters and heavy metal?
6. Anthrax - Attack Of The Killer B's
1991 Bring the Noise… Anthrax join with Public Enemy… Anthrax taking advantage of the popularity of the Hip-Hop a la Cypress Hill . The band wanna make a hit for MTV opening road to a new market.
7. Slayer - Soundtrack To The Apocalypse
2003   In A Gadda Da Vida Alongside other Thrash bands and the covers that made, Slayer sounds bad with the election of that kind of songs.
8. Krokus - The Blitz
1984 Ballroom Blitz…I’ve always think that Krokus last record was Headhunter but after that they still made records, the blitz its not so bad as the cover of Ballroom Blitz in it.
9. Motörhead - 1916
1991 Going To Brazil… Love this record and love this song but to be honest it’s a very mediocre and no sense shitty song in the great catalog of one of greatest bands of all time.
10. KISS - Lick It Up
1983 A Million To One… Not you girl, I’m a million to one… the song explains how good lover or ego maniac a rock star like Paul Stanley can be .
11. Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power
1992 Walk…I still listen the song Pantera doesn’t was a band of good lyricists.
12. Slayer - Soundtrack To The Apocalypse
2003 Disorder… Slayer and Ice T, another Hip Hop Thrash experiment . The song sounds out of tune.
13. Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying
1990 Bring Your Daughter to The slaughter… After the Seventh Son… record and tour  Iron Maiden lost Adrian Smith and the result of that it’s the forgettable record No pray for dying an under average record of the band  with some good and some really bad songs.  The original version of the song, which won a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Original Song" but in England was # 1 on 1989 Christmas eve.
14. Celtic Frost - Into The Pandemonium
1987 Mexican Radio… terrible song, but we know CF always searching for a hit or compensate the greatness of To mega Therion… Actually the record it’s not really bad had a couple of good ones. Ugh…I’m on a Mexican Radio babe
15. Def Leppard - Hysteria
1987 Pour Some Sugar On Me This record not being the best of DL was a huge success for the diversity of songs.  PSSOM it’s a song about sexual act no prob with that, but the song result sounds like a Bad Gay Rap song mix with DL harmonies.
16. Megadeth - Cryptic Writings
2004 Trust ( Spanish Version ) This is a good record, the Spanish version of Trust. Dave’s No hablo espaniol.
17. Heathen - Breaking The Silence
1985 “Set Them Free “… not a good cover choice at all, sounds fair when Saxon did few years earlier, it’s a real good record but the election of the cover in your debut record , conditioned the listener’s in future releases and maybe that happens to Heathen.
18. Five Finger Death Punch - American Capitalist
2011 Under and over it … Thats what they said about the music video: While the band plays the introduction, Moody counts to four on his fingers, followed by Zoltan Bathory and he then driving up to a house in a black supercar, a poseur band playing another piece of crap.
19. Deicide - Insineratehymn
2000 Bible Basher … far from the good records of the band Insineratehymn its maybe the worst record of Deicide and Bible Basher It’s one of the worst song on It a song about religious stuff in the 2000’s 20 years later later of the satanic boom.
20. Death Angel - Frolic Through The Park
1988 Road Mutants… This song it’s too weird to be considered good.
21. Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated
1992 I Cum Blood… this is maybe the best record of CC, it is a great band with high doses of black humor and bad taste, Instrumentally the song sounds great it’s best song of the record but the lyrics are totally perturbed … But who cares the lyrics right?
22. Manowar - Fighting The World
1987 Violence and Bloodshed … Manowar This record Its one of the best of the band, but this song is really stupid.
23. Exodus - Force Of Habit
1992 Bitch… I love the Rolling Stones that song it’s great, but Exodus never fit in the song.
24. Sepultura - Morbid Visions
1985 Anticop…“Antichrist” was a fair song from the first years of the band, but Cavalera change the lyrics.
25. KISS - Hot In The Shade
1989 Forever … One of the huge Kiss success of the 80’s the song reach number 8 in the billboard chart but as a  Kiss fan I don’t  find any good thing on this song  it’s the typical love ballad of the 80’s you can hear it from The Bangles, Heart or Elton John but not  from Kiss.
26. Method Of Destruction - U.S.A. For M.O.D.
1987 A.I.D.S… Anally injected death sentence? Billy Milano regrets writing this song,? M.O.D.’s greatest album. Was an homophobic statement.
27. Anthrax - Attack Of The Killer B's
1991 I’m the Man … Was the first Anthrax Bar Mitzvah song to be in the charts and it was a joke of Frank Bello  during the Among The Living Sessions, It is the first thrash-Hip Hop-pop experiment  a mix of what Run DMC with Aerosmith  and Beastie boys with the song "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" was doing at this time and it sounds a little bit adventurous.
28. Iron Maiden - Stranger In A Strange Land
1986 Juanita … The song of Marshal Fury band was bad, A song about an underage woman, named Juanita a Cheap Latino Prostitute in Chelsea , Iron Maiden made a cover, not a good song in an Iron Maiden’s finest moment.
29. Slipknot - .5: The Gray Chapter
2014 The Devil in I… Ok I don’t like Slipknot, I try to be on it a couple of times but I couldn’t, all the mask poseur stuff and the songs about ….? nothing really important, so I heard this song, I said Ok maybe Im wrong with those guys but after one minute I found myself again try the impossibly.
30. Poison - Flesh and Blood
1990 Unskinny Bop… It’s really annoying and cheesy, Poison always do bad songs but with a good taste in how to get nude chicks fast… but this is one of the most stupid songs ever made.
31. Tool - Ænima
1996 Message to Harry Man back… Tool its my top 10 favorite band this song with a nice piano in the back its suppose an angry message in the Keenan’s answer machine, is a recording of the words of an uninvited Italian guest who came to Maynard's house one day. A so-called friend of a friend of a friend of Harry's.  But sadly it’s not entirely true a good friend who was close with the band in the 90’s told me something about the song, the band tries to do a song about the Italian mob a kind of Junkie Godfather but they didn’t finish and it doesn’t work as they want so Keenan invented the Myth of that song of the Italian caller.
32. Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
1996 Empty Sounds of Hate (track 99) WTF sounds like a Charlie Brown’s teacher exorcism
33. Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid
1991 Hey Stoopid … Alice Cooper probe How Stoopid a song can be, so stupid as this list.
34. Papa Roach - Infest
2000 Last Resort… Sounds like they stole riff from Iron Maiden’s Infinite Dreams / Genghis Khan.
35. Benediction - Dark Is The Season
1992 Foetus Noose… Benediction it’s one of the good English Death Metal bands but I found this song totally disturbed the lyrics are no joke , totally sick this is no black humor it’s definitely BAD TASTE, Aborted form's placenta shroud, writhe in untold fear. Suffer not this child to live, awash in bitter tears. Eternally they're cast in a sea of feculence,they gain gore adepts and a sick mind of flatulence.
36. Celtic Frost - Vanity Nemesis
1990 Phallic Tantrum…  The song about the penis of Tom Warrior actually is not a bad song but the voice lost in the mix, I don’t know if I want a hear a song about a Tom’s penis or anybody’s penis.
37. Judas Priest - Jugulator
1997 I jugulator a really bad song Ripper’s era worst song.
38. Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
1994 Good Friends and a Bottle Of Pills … Again Really Dumb lyrics a teenager’s song about Anselmo’s youth  and the song sounds like a fourteen year old boy writing and play a song about gangs and drugs.
39. Saxon - Destiny
1988 Ride Like The wind… The Christopher Cross cover, was a trampoline for Saxon’s new market, the song was a hit in many countries but as a Saxon fan I didn’t like it because the band loss their north for a couple of more records.
40. Judas Priest - British Steel
1980 United… in this song the band try a concert anthem song  like Hey Jude or We are the Champions a song that everybody’s singing.
41. Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water
2000 My Way… My way on the highway ok this band never finds that way…
42. Ugly Kid Joe - America’s least wanted
1992 everything about you… The song  about a band’s friend, was a huge hit and we can still listening everywhere, the problem is that nobody wants to listen the song anymore even the guys of the band.
43. Scorpions - Crazy World
1990 Winds of Change…  A sweet song starts with a soft whistle about the fell of the  Berlin wall thing… nothing wrong,  a contagious ballad from scorpions…nothing wrong with that either, but the song its tremendous and infinity boring.
44. Clawfinger - Clawfinger
1997 Biggest and the Best… The Limp Bizkit version from Finland.
45. Black Sabbath - Seventh Star
1986 Heart Like a Wheel … Glenn Hughes sing this kind of bluesy glam rock experiment, Tony Iommi Try to sound like Jimmy Page.
46. Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder
1999 Silent Night, Bodom Night … A song under the average of the band.
47. Coal Chamber - Chamber Music
1999 Shock the monkey… Another bad cover but this one have Ozzy on it.
48. Alice Cooper - Trash
1989 Trash… I think Alice Cooper named that record Trash because it sounds likes and it feels like… Trash, like this list.
49. Motörhead - Snake Bite Love
1998 Assassin…weird, I don’t understand the what Lemmy try here, a little out of tempo and out of tune.
50. Deftones - White Pony
2000 Back To School… The main problem with this songs it’s the band try to do a radio friendly song, the result it’s not congruent with the album.
51. Within Temptation - Resist
1999 Supernova… the fans of WT found this song great but sounds it sounds like a bad copy of Avril Lavigne’s.
52. Cradle Of Filth - Midian
2000 Lord Abortion… They honored their name with the most Disgusting and bad taste Lyrics ever : “Her alabaster limbs that dim the lit carnal grin. Vaginal skin to later taste and masturbate within” Very very sick…
53. Alice In Chains - Sap
1992 Love Song… almost 4 mins of insanity and bad music a lot of bands want to be a new Mr.Bungle kind but this is not cool here
54. Korn - See You On The Other Side
2005 For No One… Here Korn doesn’t know what to do , every record with the years became more complicated to understand and suddenly goes in a kind of psychedelic experiment of WTF ??? this song its no the exception on what deformed this band gone with the years.
55. Anthrax - Volume 8 - The Threat Is Real
1998 Toast to The Extras … I’ve really enjoy the song at that time, is a really good song if it was a Garth Brooks or Alan Jackson record  but unfortunately its and Anthrax record  and one of the few bad records of the band.
56. Northern Kings - Reborn
2007 in the Air of Tonight… It’s a cover album and the song In the Air of Tonight its a really bad version of a great song, Phil Collins maybe it’s not proud to gave the permission for the song.
57. Black Label Society - 1919 Eternal
2002 Life / Birth / Blood / Doom… I’ve Always expecting more from BLS and specially from Zakk Wylde, this song is strange, Wylde and the band gone techno industrial .
58. Sacred Reich - The American Way
1990 “31 Flavors” … it’s a Funk experiment. Anyway the American way it’s maybe the best record of the band
59. Burzum - Filosofem
1996  Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saule Der Singulaitat … 25 mins of ambient weird
60. Anal Cunt - 40 More Reasons To Hate Us
1996 maybe the entire record it’s a non sense music, one more reason to hate this band.
61. Vomitory - Revelation Nausea
2001 beneath the soil… the same riff repeating during the entire record. really bored.
62. Black Sabbath - Forbidden
1995 Sick & Tired… A bad Grunge attempt
63. Annihilator - Set The World On Fire
1993 Knight Jumps Queen… Unfortunately this record it’s not so bad, but far away from Annihilator’s first two records from.
64. Atheist - Elements
1993 Samba Briza  Elements it’s the classic record of the band I know Samba Briza it’s a kind of  jammy joke but doesn’t fit good here.
65. Nightwish - Angels Fall First
1997 Tutankhamen… Nightwish not a fan of this band I don’t like that metal style, but I feel respect for what their doing during so many years. Tutankhamen is the weakest song on their long catalog.
66. Riot - Narita
1979 Born To be wild…Narita it is a great record from Riot maybe one of the best records in their earlier catalog, but nobody wants to listen again one of the most covered songs in rock history.
67. Rage - Secrets In A Weird World
1989 Talk To Grandpa…  with that title it is assumed to be an introspective song about a grandfather, but the song its really boring and the ideas gone soon , suddenly the song became in a desperation shout of Grandpaaaaa…
68. Deftones - Around The Fur
1997 Lahbia… I don’t like the sound, and the guitars sounds like a train horn…
69. Metallica - St. Anger
2003 Invisible kid… Maybe the worst song Metallica did.
70. The Great Kat - Beethoven On Speed
1990   Gripping Obsession …guitars sounding like Violins but the record doesn’t sound and represents what the record was a Cacophony of bad musical taste.
71. The Lone Rager - Metal Rap
1984 The Lone Rager Very bad metal Rap Experiment.
72. Criminal - Dead Soul
1997 Hijos Del La Miseria… This is a great record maybe the best record of this great Chilean band but Hijos de la miseria it doesn’t sound good as the other songs of the record, the voice of Anton ( the singer ) sounds under the mix and almost doesn’t understand what his saying.
73. Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
1990 Convulsion… Those guys start with the apocalyptic techno metal style sound, and are well respect in that kind of music, to anybody’s ears the song is weak and its sound very far from the good songs of this band.
74. Omen - Escape To Nowhere
1988 Radar Love… another good metal band doing a bad cover….
75. Mortician - House By The Cemetery
1995 Driller Killer… Really bad music and Lyrics…
