44. The Darkness: 'One Way Ticket To Hell... And Back' (2005) - Proof that a funny joke can wear very thin very quickly. Everybody loved The Darkness for a short period in 2003, but by 2005 the humble public's patience with the band was retreating faster than Justin Hawkins hairline. Tight catsuits, falsetto vocals and 80's metal riffs suddenly seemed even more ridiculous than they had and this album became the catalyst for the Lowestoft band's demise. The album features typical Darkness humour with tracks such as 'Dinner Lady Arms' and the fortuitous 'Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time'. Apparently the working title for this album was 'The Painstaking', presumably this was changed in fear of stating the blindingly obvious.

- Whole-heartedly agree with number one! Not sure Razorlight deserved to be in there though
- Number one is definitely right! They're horrible people - and so is the album!
- Kaiser Chiefs?! **** YOU GIGWISE
- **** the Kaiser Chiefs, i'm more upset that Craig David is in there! 'Fill me in' was a classic!
- brokeNCYDE should have been number one. They sound like a pig drowning
