So not the worst in the list that's what this poll is about.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Poll Question: Which of those worst albums is the worst ? LOL

TFC has earned its spot in this list by popular demand, imo. but there are far worst albums than that one, love beach if so bad, but so bad, soooooooooooo baaaaaaad ... even the band member are actually ashamed of it

Voted for Love Beach, because really, how couldn't I?  It's the dreadful album that every prog fan loves to hate.  I do listen to it on occasion, though; even have a vinyl copy.

As for the debate over The Final Cut...I wholeheartedly support its inclusion on this poll.  It has very staunch defenders, but an equally devoted cult of rabid haters.  I happen to belong to this latter group...just a wretched, navel-gazing affair all around.  However, Love Belch really is objectively worse.

this poll should be named "the worst of the best" since they are bad album by good bands, most album are bad but because that specific band got us used to good albums, like floyd, first a lot of really good psychedellic prog until ummagumma and then from TDSotM to the wall are all comercially acclaimed albums often considered masterpieces of prog.

But then they did TFC which didnt do well or got very mixed comments, TFC actually might have been anothers band masterpiece, but it was too low to meet floyd's fans expectations.

The only one from this list I think is truly awful is Love Beach. Of the others, there are some very good tracks and redeeming features, and I shudder to think why The final Cut is included.

Sorry, but I really can't see the point of these negative polls.

Accidentally voted The Final Cut because my instinct picked the best... The Final Cut is an amazing album.

Btw, positive polls have already been done. What's the sense of starting a poll with Selling England By The Pound, In The Court of Crimson King, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Close to The Edge end so on ?

A possible meaning of this one ? 
Which bands are able to do good even when bad ?

Not sure what criteria you are using to call these the worst.  Yes's lowest rated studio album isn't Big Generator, it's Open Your Eyes (although in my opinion their worst is Union).

The criteria is the authors own opinion.

I have already explained the criteria. I have only included albums that I own.

They are all 1's. Union has marginally more depth than Big Generator. Oh, they are all just atrocious. For me, Talk is the worst.

I haven't heard most of these, but I enjoy the two I do have - Merci and Thrakattak.  Out of those two, I like Thrakattak less than I like Merci.  No vote, though.

Suonare Suonare has "Maestro Della Voce" on it. That's one of the best PFM songs.
