Best
Muse - Showbiz
I originally listened to this album when it came out but was unimpressed. It seemed too much like Radiohead. 7 years later, I wonder why I thought that. Radiohead was nowhere near as classically inspired as these guys. This album was the most replayed of the ones I listened to this year.

2nd Best
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
I gave the first two Motley Crue albums a chance after reading how they were seminal albums for the genre. "Too Fast for Love," their first album, was a complete dud but I was absolutely blown away by their rocking sophomore record. I always thought these guys were a joke, but this is a damn solid album.

2nd Worst
Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics
There was a lot of hype for this album - Xtina was trying to move into a new direction and try her own thing. If this was one album it'd work but 23 tracks of this shit? Nice idea, Aguilera, but terrible execution. And "Candyman?" Total lift of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."

Worst
Oasis - Be Here Now
Oasis and I departed ways after "Morning Glory ..." and probably for good reason. I decided to give a listen to the later part of their catalog and was sorely punished for doing so: "All Around the World" is the best track on here and I'd rate it a POOR at most.
