The Beatles and Rush don't have any bad album.

The Big Generator by Yes was a sign they were running out of music but they redeemed themselves in 2001 with Magnification
Zappa did a trio of 'albums' in the 80s Sleep Dirt and the like, but I believe that was just a contractual thing...allegedly

I always loved AMLoR for some reason. The worst album in progressive rock must be The Final Cut!

No no no no no... i was answering to "worse album by a great prog band", not the worse in progressive rock....
But i totally disagree with you. The final cut is actually a pretty good album - in my opinion it is at least as good as "the wall" and way better than AMLoR. The only song i like is "sorrow" and i have to be in a good day .. I can´t listen to the first cds of Delicate sound of thunder and Prism because of it... 
And it is not any preference that i have for Waters because i really like The Division Bell (and waters singing sometimes is arghhhhhhhhh)

I like Waters and his vocals a lot, but The Final Cut is pretty boring, the best tracks are the ones left over from The Wall, had they been included on that album, they would have been considered filler.
That sums up the album pretty well, all the newer tracks are completely forgettable.
And I don't know what people are smoking when they say it's better than The Wall, I suspect that they're trying a little too hard to be different.

Final Cut is a piece of emotional writing dominated completely by Waters. Like The Wall, except it doesn't stop making any kind of sense half-way through and doesn't have massive amounts of filler.

1st - i only smoke cigars
2nd - I said: "at least as good as the wall"
3rd - i´m totaaly secure of my musical tastes and opinions and i am not a teen with a urge to be different.
4th - that said. I think that the final cut is a good album and as a whole it works probably better than the wall. the wall is full of fillers as someone said and i agree. However the wall has better songs, some of the best of PF (like Confortably Numb or Hey You).

IMO The Wall is inconistent. The 1st disc blows, and the 2nd is amazing. The Final Cut is way more consistent and overall I do think it is better than The Wall.

I don't understand the hate either. I find it gives you a taste of all the things Dream Theater are capable of. Also, what some call w**kery is here on this album, but when it's there it is a lot more controlled and musical rather than continuous shredding.
The only fault I find are some cringeworthy lyrics.

Fair enough since they only had two albums, and I thought of mentioning that too, but I do want to note that though it has a bad reputation, I still like that album. I still think it's good to very good, and if it wasn't a band that had come out with an album as great as First Utterance, it would be considered more highly. Underrated.

exactly
Their 3rd album should be out this year, by the way

I must stress that  is pretty good. And bearing that in mind I may have to deduct 1 from ELP

Blah. The best songs on the abum were the songs that weren't even considered good enough for The Wall.
The whole damn album is filler, that's not to say there aren't good songs, but even the best ones would have seemed subpar on The Wall. Not a bad album on it's own, but I'm talking by Pink Floyd standards.
The Wall does not have massive amounts of filler, at all. I'd say that only side 3 suffers from filler, everything between Hey You and Comfortably Numb.
The two best songs are Hero's Return and Your Possible Past, which were both Wall leftovers that could have easily been on that album.
The Post War Dream is also a highlight, wonderful solo by Gilmour. Those are the only 3 tracks I really like.
It's not a terrible album, I just find it mediocre. Not Now John is another one of the more memorable tracks, and that's just a clone of Young Lust. Overall I'd say the first half is pretty good but the second half is pretty damn weak.
A lot of the stuff I can't get into, songs like Fletcher Memorial Home and The Gunner's Dream are too soap opera-ish for my taste.
