The Worst: These albums are fucking clownshoes, they should even exist.
Ashlee Simpson / Autobiography - worse than last years top spot, Kelly Osbourne, and that's saying a lot.
Lindsay Lohan / Speak - We only care about your rack... that's it.
Yellowcard / Ocean Avenue - This is the most obnoxious shit since that Jet song, did you really think the electro-fiddle gimmick would make you musicians?
Ryan Cabrera / Take it All Away - This guy has a record deal because he banged ashlee simpson on her terrible reality show. Riding on the coat tails of the worst album of the year pretty much guarantees you're gonna be on there as well. Also, look at the cover of this shit, fucking cheesy.
Tim McGraw / Live Like You Were Dying - If it's not Cash it's crap.
