 Topic: Prog albums you hate
Posted: January 16 2012 at 19:33 |
Is there any prog rock albums that you hate. And, instead of listening them for the second time, you want to get them off of your music library.

Interesting question, none. Even if they don't click with me on first listen I still stay open to the possibility that they might for me work someday.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Like Slartibartfast, I will normally say that I will always be open to hearing something again that I did not like on first listen, but there are a few that I disliked so much on that first listen that I have virtually no incentive to listen to them again: We're Only in it for the Money by FZ and the Mothers: I have posted a review on this so my views are there for all to see. Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart: My views on this are similar to the above. Both of these are highly regarded by many people. My reaction is purely my own, based on my own biases and tastes, and are in no way a reflection on the quality of the artists concerned. In fact, I respect both Uncle Frank and the Captain as musicians a great deal and have some Zappa I really enjoy. These albums just rub me the wrong way. Also, lest you think I generally despise their genre, note that I really like The Residents, who are in some ways even further out there.

I bought Traumhaus self titled album at a very low price and after the first song I just stopped my cd player. It's been 4 years since that day and I don't want to return to it haha. So I think that the answer of your question is Yes but it's the only one I remember

Exactly the same for me. Although, Osada Vida's first album in particular stands out as one that I don't understand how it got a lot of the high praise that it got. Not terrible, but not very good IMO.

I actually started listening to the residents. I have Duck Stab on my music library and that's a weird album. I don't say that I hate this album but that's not for casual listeners.

Anything past the 1790s. Prog went down hill after Mozart died.

I'm very careful with adding albums to my prog collection, I really research about every album.I don't say I have no prog craps, yes there are. To be honest when I hear a prog album for the first time and not liking it, mostly I tend to blame myself than the band.May be it comes from my experience with VDGG, at first I didn't like them but now they are on my top albums.you can't predict yourself.
