10 Worst Number One Rock Albums Of The 1980s

10. Double Fantasy - John Lennon And Yoko Ono

Right out of the gate, the pot has been stirred by the inclusion of a former Beatle on a list of "Worst Albums".

John Lennon and Yoko Ono put out the record Double Fantasy on November 17th 1980. Exactly three weeks later, Lennon was murdered in the archway of the Dakota hotel in New York City.

This tragic event caused many publications to pull reviews of Double Fantasy, partly out of respect to the slain star, because they would have painted his final piece of work in a bad light.

Most critics latched onto the fact that the album idealised Lennon and Ono's married life, when, in reality, it was anything but perfect. The couple's self-aggrandising had been a source of annoyance amongst the musical community for some years, and many saw this as the peak of that phenomenon.

Critical opinion changed quite drastically in the wake of Lennon's death, with Double Fantasy spending eight weeks straight at the top of the charts and winning Album of the Year at the 1982 Grammys. Still, it's not for everyone, and views on it remains divided to this day.

Yikes, that was tricky. And this is only the first entry!
