There's no such thing as a "worst album", there's only an album that you like the least. It's all subjective and the "least favourite" album varies from fan to fan, as you can see from the poll.
But I probably confused you, as you already do not have enough brain power to express yourself correctly, let alone understand what I mean. Sorry about that.
