Quite 'good' company, but where is RUSH?

Vapor Trails = CATASTROPHE.

By the way, would somebody tell me how it is possible to release such horrible sound quality in the 21st century?

Invisible touch is a major mistake, how can anyone

Not like Frances the Mute?

I had to go with Invisible Touch despite The Brazilian, simply repulsive.

Didn't expressed well Atkingani, I was thinking in Spanish (You especially must understand me) and then translated it.

I believe The Brazilian is a great song (honestly) but the rest of the album is horrible.

I tried to say despite The Brazilian, the rest of the album is terrible.

I agree - like most polls on here, pretty pointless.

Anyway I think Muse - Absolution is crap as for as prog related albums are concerned, boring with contrived wailing vocals, it's b*****ks! All been done before but much better!

For me, "The Final Cut". Simply boooooooooooooooooooooooring   although there are prety strong contenders.

I recently got  Calling all Stations by Genesis (I put it off for so long after all the bad stuff I heard about it) as it turns out its not such a bad CD ... I`d give it  6/10  so its a pass with a push but still its OK I think

This is a hard choice...........so MANY bad CDs here!

I went for 'Feel euphoria', was an abysmal SB CD...

But 'Open your eyes', 'Be' and 'In the Hot seat' are fairly close to it...

all utter rubbish

was curious about that myself....  the kazoo on Corporel Clegg is reason enough to be taken off the list. Add in Saucerful of Secrets and I move that this album be stricken from the list.

Wow.. OK. Well, I guess it is a matter of taste, but I have rarely been so surprised about an opinion ! I think it is a very solid album for a debut, with awesome songwriting and great performances. I think it is definately a 4/5 and one of the best prog debuts I know (atleast from the most known bands)


agreed.... and this from someone who really isn't into Camel.  A great debut... though not quite to ELP's standards hahah

From this list, and from the albums I actually know, I'd say Union. Luckily I didn't pay too much money for it. Calling All Stations comes close.

I see that I avoided quite some albums on the list that are considered bad by many people. Never listened to Love Beach, The Final Cut and Free As A Bird. Maybe I'm good at reading reviews




some of were nowhere near as fortunate and had these long before the internet and the outstanding reviews at our disposal.   As several  have said... many of these albums are not ...bad but disappointing more than anything.

While a majority of them I will concur are flops, I am baffled not only that Frances the Mute is included, but also that it has multiple votes. Even if it's not one's favorite, how they pick that over Love Beach?

Same with Octavarium. And as far as Camel goes, it isn't a bad album by any means, but it is a bit amateur.
