2. Robbie Williams - Rudebox

Famously, the record that was ground down en masse and used to fill a thousand potholes in the Middle East. But is it really that bad? Put it this way, I have-not through choice- listened to every single Robbie Williams record in full, and Rudebox is the only one which has snuck onto my IPod. She's Madonna is a fantastic Pet Shop Boys-assisted stomper up there with anything in Williams' catalogue, and the title track is certainly a lot funnier and more endearing after a few repeat plays than Millenium. There are a lot of Robbie Williams records where he sounds bored and unengaged, and deserve nothing more than to spend eternity protecting your tyre's tread-Rudebox isn't one of them.
