Aaaaahahahhaha, no.
With that said, I COULD list a few of my least favourite albums from some of my most favourite artists, though I'll probably willfully sacrifice my soul in the process.
Skindred - Roots Rock Riot
This was an extremely hard choice for me, as all of Skindred's albums are awesome, and even though Roots Rock Riot holds some of my favourite Skindred tracks of all (like "Ratrace" and "Trouble"), then I think that overall, taking the album rated on the basis of all the songs put together, this is probably my least favourite one.
Clutch - All of them (except Pure Rock Fury, Blast Tyrant, Robot Hive: Exodus and From Beale Street to Oblivion and maybe Strange Cousins from the West)
Choosing THE least favourite is hard, but I know which ones are my favourites: the ones I listed above. I wasn't and am not really that big of a fan of the musical style they had in their earlier albums, and I haven't really listened to them after my initial listen-throughs. Transnational Speedway League, Clutch, The Elephant Riders, Jam Room. From Pure Rock Fury afterwards, I think they've been fucking
amazing, with the slight exception of, like was implied before, Strange Cousing from the West. It's just not that...memorable and special as the other ones are. To me, at least. Though if I had to pick a favourite out of those older ones, it'd definitely be Clutch (their self-titled album).
Colour Haze - Chopping Machine and/or CO2
Again a case of "later albums being way better", Colour Haze's self-titled album, Tempel and All are amazing. Also, Periscope is pretty good. But Chopping Machine and CO2 are pretty shit, and I think Chopping Machine gets the edge here because of its absolutely hideous cover art.
Jonathan Coulton - Are you fucking kidding me?
Okay, he doesn't have an album by that name. But he has a lot of albums, and they're more like a continuous stream of releases packaged into...packages, rather than albums with clear release dates between. Thus, I'll just use this space to tell you how great Coulton is, and that you should go and listen to him. He's great. Do it.
Mastodon - Lifesblood
Well, it's their debut EP. It's not as good at the others. Though I guess that onward from there, it all gets progressively better (lol, giddit, progressively? Well, I tried).
Maximum the Hormone - Mimi Kajiru and Rokkinpo Goroshi
Ootori has Force, which I absolutely love, and Kusoban and Buiikikaesu are just overall good albums. Mimi Kajiru and Rokkinpo Goroshi are largely forgettable, though.
Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
Ha, they only have one album out, so it's my most favourite and my least favourite. I crack myself up sometimes, yes. Thank you for asking.
Pendulum - Immersion
In Silico has Propane Nightmares, The Other Side and Mutiny. Hold Your Colour has Slam, Tarantula and Hold Your Colour. Immersion has...Set Me On Fire?
Well, I've other favourite artists, but I really can't pick the least favourite albums out of those, so I'll just leave it here.
