10 Most Hated Grunge Albums Of All Time

Post-grunge has been considered a dirty word in the grunge community for many years now. Whereas something like post punk was a healthy extension from the initial genre it was brought up in, the sounds of acts like Seether were not nearly as credible for their groundbreaking songwriting techniques. However, there's something that stings a lot more than just being bad...the possibility of actually being good.

Coming onto the scene with My Own Prison, Creed were not always the most original of acts, what with Scott Stapp's clear imitation of Eddie Vedder's yarling voice. At the same time, the music behind him with Mark Tremonti did show the potential to be something amazing should they hit it big. While we eventually saw the shimmer on Human Clay, Weathered is the moment where everyone really got a sense of what they were listening to.

Instead of the typical Christian rock-isms you would find on earlier Creed releases, this is the sound of a band desperately trying to squeak by on goodwill alone, with Stapp emoting as much as he can to sell his firm belief in...something. It also cuts that much deeper when you see faint wisps of greatness in Tremonti's playing, only to have them snuffed out when Stapp comes in. In the grand scheme of post-grunge outfits, this is not just a bad album by genre standards. This is the one album that you could argue killed any more goodwill that grunge had in its final stages.
