Each band has its worst. Which is the worst of the black list above ?
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Ouch! Another negative poll! I´ve been beaten by another members latterly for Genesis negative poll! Ouch
Good luck!
 
By the way, my choice is Camel, this album is even weaker than Final Crap. Other albums I don´t know, I´m not a masochist namely.
 
Opening option "Others" is like proverbal opening of Pandora´s box. Especially the 80´s were literally hotbed of terrible music, not only in Prog.

I think that Crimson will win this poll hands down.....
in a good way (the least vote for it)
 
 
But Genesis 's worst is Invisible Touch, while Tull's worst is certainly not dot com, but Under Wraps, and Floyd's worst is Momentary Lapse Of Reason
 
 
Soooooo my choice is "others" to protest on your lack of correct tasteWink

After Abacab I didn't try anything else by Genesis...sorry. Almost the same about Tull, I don't have so much money to waste wiith worst. 
The list is based on albums that I own. I should have based it on PA ratings instead.

1. I don't see why The Final Cut is placed on this list.
2. Abacab is the only of these albums I have heard. I agree that it is Genesis' worst
   (Note: I have not heard Calling All Stations).
3. I vote for "Others": the poorest album made by one of the major prog bands, as far as I have heard, is:
   Roll the Bones - Rush

1) Personally I don't think it's a poor album but it's considered the worst of Pink Floyd (see other polls).
3) I don't have any Rush album, this is why I have added a "other" choice. Of course there are surely things poorer than those listed, but this is intended about "bigs" only. 

My definition of big depends on the numbers of ratings that's an indicator of the number of fans even when the rating is negative. Of course this applies to Rush, VDGG and all the bigs that I didn't add to the list because I'm not "expert" enough of their music.

TFC always gets an unfair trial, IMHO
 
I'd say most people hate this album, because it's seen as the one Waters forced on the band
 and ultimately broke Floyd..... but most of these TFC "unfans"  don't actuallyt know the album per se... they just ignore it....
 
Musically it's not great, but it's still fairly good (much better than that atricious MLOR album), vocals and lyrically speaking it's all Waters ....which is what Floyd fanboys hate about it and won't give it its chance
 
 
If this was a Waters solo album, it would rank as his second best (after amused To Death) , edging slightly Pros & Cons

The Final Cut and Dot Com don't belong here.

I agree with the consensus that TFC doesn't belong on here.

Again to clarify: TFC is here as worst of Pink Floyd, not because it's a bad album. The "bad" rating comes mainly from the recent poll about "Battle of PF albums". 

I like TFC. (well, to be honest I like everything Pink Floyd did with or without Waters)

None of the albums that I know here are really bad in my opinion,
but I haven't heard them all Love Beach (why should one?), and Big Generator maybe once.

All on the list that I know I like. So no vote until I can think of a "other"

Love Beach I think is a strong candidate. Not all others are really bad IMO

I'm surprised to see that Merci has still with no votes....It's just my opinion, but I think that is really bad...

Dot Com is a funny pick too. Consensus is that worst Tull album is Under Wraps. (Though it's actually A in my personal opinion.)

I'm wondering...you didn't just vote for it by any chance did you?
