If you could stop 1 album from being made what would it be?

I saw this topic on another forum and though it would be interesting to see what came of it from a musicians perspective.
So, if you could somehow stop one album from ever being created for any reason, what album would you pick and why?

To start it off: Even though I love it, I would pick the Sublime self titled album. This is in hope that Brad wouldn't have ever OD'd after the recording and died. Maybe the band could have continued on.

Thriller....although I like the album!!!

It would be funny to see what life would be like without the Fanatical Fans holding onto that album like it's the holy grail of the industry.

He hasn't done anything better since!, which to me means he went downhill!

None. If I don't like one album, I don't listen to it. I used to have all this stupid attitude about metallica "going bad" and if you had asked me some years ago I would have probably answered "Load". What an idiot I was. Now it's one of my fave albums.
Anyway, even if a band hadn't released their "X" album, you don't know what could be in its place... maybe something even "worse".

For me its the Sublime album too, but for different reasons...just kidding.
Actually, the first Van Halen album. It launched a generation of guitar players that completely missed the point. Focusing only on the "flash" aspect, and not trying to make music with their instrument.
I still hear guys play a whole set with the cranked Marshall sound, even when they're playing stuff like classic R&B or blues standards. Its pretty tired several decades later.

If I could stop a vocalist from entering the industry, it would be Boy George. Why would I be thinking about him, you ask? Cause my little sister's obsessed with him, and she plays his crap every chance she gets and it's driving me insane!

Any Linkin Park record and it's subsequent follow-up remix album... bad enough to hear that crap the first time, let alone add a dance track and play it again....

I know, I know, it's weird. I just can't stand LZ. Or more accurately, I can't stand Robert Plant and his "baby baby baby" lyrics. On top of which, it's all my friends listen to.

EDIT: Except Stairway To Heaven and Kashmir.

I'm also pretty sure the world never needed Yoko Ono to even open her mouth at all.

Any Mini-Pops album. Kids singing bad songs that were already bad when adults did them is just wrong.

+1
No Yoko albums would have negated any chance that we would have seen her naked on one of the covers. Bonus +2
