No shit? Thats really funny - I wonder if there are other albums on that list that Q rated highly.
I know MV got a lot of praise too and a grammy nom & stuff but I feel like I definitely read a bunch of reviews from rock dudes that basically boiled down to "why is this white rock guy doing prince stuff, wtf"

It was so bad when it cameOut it started one of the first arguments I ever had with a friend of mine, who maintained everything beck touched was genius.

only a bunch of boring cloth-eared cunts that have repped heavy for shit like Travis and Coldplay would consider MMM in a worst ever list.

We're supposed to vote for worst, though! MMM is great!
Damn, I'm a dunce.

this is one of the best moments of Rowland's career (and the rest of the album ain't bad either)

far be it from me to guess why the Jeremy Clarkson of music magazines might dislike that album and most of the rest of these

Whatever, I fucking love Midnight Vultures.

Albums on this list that I like:
1. Duran Duran – Thank You
10. Tim Machine – Tin Machine Ii
36. Kula Shaker – Peanuts, Pigs & Astronauts
41. Paul Simon – Songs From The Capeman OST
I can also enjoy listening to Neil Young's rockin' album; Oasis' SOTSOG is certainly their worst but it's got a couple of excellent songs on it.

Dirty Work is a good, often great Stones album despite the cover.
TM II is on this list because the editors thought, "lol Tin Machine and lime green suits."

10. Tim Machine – Tin Machine IiNot sure about that album by mr Machine, first name Tim, but as far as Tin Machine II goes, that one I think is really quite good. It's got Shopping For Girls, Amlapura & much more, I personally prefer it over the first Tin Machine album. 36. Kula Shaker – Peanuts, Pigs & AstronautsThe band gets a lot of hate in general, I can't see why. Their first four albums are all great - Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts being one of those (or did they make a 'Peanuts' remix album...) ― Valentijn, Monday, August 12, 2019 1:53 AM (four days ago)

Who knew positivity could be so hilarious! This inspired me to check out each of these records. As for this entry:
34. Fishspooner - #1
While I've yet to really swim the ocean of this entire album, "Emerge" by Fischerspooner is pretty awesome. This mityped band name reminded me of a dinner party I had amidst the Electroclash era, where the passing around of a plate of salmon and a large serving utensil led a guest to ask my friend "Will you be the fish-er spooner?", which he replied, "Only if you pour the Larry tea."
Ayyyy-O!

I don't know how I missed this altogether. Putting Midnite Vultures, Saturnzreturn (and I get swatted for it every time I say it but I'll still say again that I think I prefer it to Timeless) and Metal Machine Music on a 'worst albums of all-time' list is a fairly succinct way of stating that you're an unserious publication, I guess, if that's what you're going for, Q.

Hawks & Doves is great, side 1 is actually 70s stuff intended for the scuttled Homegrown album, includes Captain Kennedy
