I'm inclined to type "Scarsick", but then again there's always things like "Invisible Touch" or "Are You Dead Yet?".

Brain Salad Perjury aka Re-Works
 
The song list includes 5 or 7 dance versions of Fanfare for the Common Man.
 
Simply repulsive.

I'll go with Gentle Giant's Giant for a Day.  Really I don't think much of any of their final three studio albums, but the first eight were fantastic.

That's my opinion:
Genesis.... yes, nothing strange, the winner is... Abacab
PF... The Final Cut
Yes.... I don't know which is worse - Open Your Eyes or Big Generator
Camel... hard to find, but Remote Romance from ICSYHFH is one of the most horrible tracks ever released by the prog group (shameDead - look at my avatar)
KC... The ConstruKction Of Light
Rush... Vapor Trails
TFK... Adam&Eve
Supertramp.... Indelibly Stamped
 
Enough. Let's make some positive...

Probably the biggest shock I've ever got was when I listened to Roger Waters's Radio KAOS album for the first time. I bought it despite all the bad reviews it gets, thinking that "Hey, the guy who was responsible for the masterpiece that is Pros and Cons of Hitch-hiking cannot possibly make a rotten album all of a sudden, right?". Boy was I wrong.

In The Hot Seat (in the toilet seat)
Abacab (abacrap)
 
 
..I've yet to muster the courage to get The Big Generator but I expect that must be a contender as well.

My favourite horrors:
 
Supertramp: Live 88 and Slow Motion
Genesis: Invisible Touch, Genesis, some others too horrible to mention...
Pink Floyd: The Final Cut.
ELP: Due to the horrible reviews, I haven't even listened to Love Beach (except Canario, a nice song) or "In The Hot Seat".
Yes: 90something.
King Crimson: I don't like Beat, Discipline and 3 of a perfect pair.
Rush: I don't like them much after "Exit... stage left"
 
The bands before are some I really like, there are many others I can't stand at all, but It's not funny being destructive...

For me, there is only one irredeemable Genesis album and that's 'Calling All Stations'. I can find at least half an album I like on the other 80s ones, but that had one song I liked in the title track. The rest was just dull, dull, dull...
 
Yes' 'Open Your Eyes'- I always say this was the wrong album at the wrong time. It's very much a blip in their discography as other albums of this period were more progressive, this was not and wasn't necessary, imho. I'd add their 'Tormato' to the list as well...
 
ELP In Concert- awful mix, a dull set list, terrible keyboards from Keith Emerson; just bad all round really!! 'Love Beach' is salvaged by 'Canario' and 'Memoirs Of A Gentleman' isn't terrible, even if it's not a patch on earlier works.

Now I've discovered Kevin Gilbert, I'm wondering what if Gilbert had become Collins' replacement on lead vocals and clearly song-writing duties.

Don't believe everything you read about Big Generator, Richard. It may not be their best but it has at least 3 excellent tracks in "Love will find a way", "Final Eyes" and especially "I'm Running". Overall I prefer it to 90125 and Open Your Eyes.

Permanent Waves and Vapor Trails are the only Rush albums I have a hard time liking.
