The Onion's AV club went digging for the anti top-list, and came up with the "least essential albums of 2006." It's a pretty heady selection, which the AV club explains in this fashion, "Every year produces great music and a nearly equal amount of terrible music. Then there's the not-so-creamy middle, the albums that have no real reason to exist, but nonetheless find their way to music-store shelves."The list includes totally inessential favorites like The Cars (without just about everyone who was once in The Cars), DMC (Which is Run-DMC without Reverend Run and after the death of Jam Master Jay), John Corbett (uh, don't you act? Poorly but, still.. don't you act?), and the kicker, an exercise album from NBC's "The Biggest Loser"
If you've bought any of these albums in the previous year, the Society for the Prevention of the Death of Actual Music (the S.P.D.A.M) asks that you report to your nearest internment camp for musical re-education, immediately. That is all.
