Following on from the TOP 10 designed Bang & Olufsen products ever thread it would be interesting to go the other way.
I haven't formulated mine yet but the Serenata would probably be up near the top of the list.
If I was a gambling man I would put money that the majority of the products will be from the last few years.

hm ... this is interesting ...
1. Beocenter 2002 ( from Japan )
2. Serena, Serenata ( whatever )
3. Beocom 9000 ( mobile phone )
4. Beosound 5
5. Beovision 7 ( sorry to say but ... )
Don't forget the beocom 2!

i "don't" like beosound 1,and beovision 8,
I would also add to this list:
6. Beowatch - Wristwatch
7. Beomaster Terminal Remote Controller
8. Beocom 5000 Cordless Telephone
9. Beosystem 10 Portable Radio/Cassette Player
10. Beosound Century (not sure)
Oh are you sure about the Beowatch? They are awesome! I have one and it is incredibly retro-cool. A remote on a watch? Actually looks pretty classy in person IMHO!
In no particular order as they are all have equally bad failings....
1. A1 CD storage cube - nothing special at all, looks like a rebadged IKEA flat pack.
2. Beocenter 2002 - Japanese c**p AND ugly.
3. Beosystem 10 - More of the above & doesn't even remotely try to look like B&O other than a nailed on brushed alumimium handle as an after thought.
4. Beocom 2. Beautiful but about as user friendly as a chocolate teapot.
5. A9 keyring - gimmicky & pretty but a bit sad.
6. Form 2 headphones. Not proper headphones nor proper portable ones either - fall short in both areas & aren't at all comfortable.
7. The curly red/black Beovox RL speaker cables. I cannot believe anyone would want these trailing arond their floors/walls ruining the lines of their B&O. To my mind a total design conflict for B&O.
8. ALL of the mobile phones from the 9*00 GSM series right up to the Serenata. Why bother??????
9. Beosound MP6. A very expensive 2nd rate (compared to iPod) Samsung device in a shiny case. Who were they trying to kid with this one?
10. Beo5 remote control.
Just thought I would add, as far as colors go, anything in green is kind of... well... just plain terrible. The yellow on the Beovision 3 is also just too pale to work. Anyone read the story "The Yellow Wall Paper"?
