The Worst Heavy Metal Albums of All Time!

In order to qualify for "Worst Heavy Metal Album," the band in question needed to be somewhat famous. After all, why kick a band when it's down, when it was never up in the first place?

I would like to thank my crack team for helping out here. Special shoutout to two very serious metal veterans, John Chernack of the legendary and deliberately misspelled Fantom Warior and Joey Leshko from the classic heavy metal band Back From the Dead. They didn't wish to speak ill of fellow metal bands. But they coughed up a couple here. I'm not telling you which ones, so you can't blame them!
The comments in this gallery are mine. So blame me for insulting your beloved album. But, really, if you're going to get mad about someone slamming Music From "The Freakin' Elder," how much of a true metalhead can you be?

All Van Halen albums with Sammy Hagar qualify for this list. But that was too obvious.

Do NOT bang your head to any of the following.
