Worst prog? I would have to say Steve Howe's first solo album "Beginnings," I find his voice impossible to tolerate.

I agree. He's an incredible guitarist, but a horrible vocalist.

Open Your Eyes and Talk definitely rank lower (for me) than Big Generator, which at least has "Shoot High, Aim Low."

eBay

There are many albums that I listened to before deciding not to obtain that album because it didn't appeal to me enough. There are also albums that I obtained before hearing it for the first time. Perhaps I obtained them because I was familiar with other works by the artist, or perhaps they were regarded as masterpieces by reputable sources. Anyway, the following two albums are albums that I actually have:

Philip Glass - Music With Changing Parts

Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

In the case of Philip Glass - Music With Changing Parts, I was so offended when I first listened to this that I thought that I had been ripped off by this album. However, I decided to listen to it again just before I wrote this post, and it didn't evoke the same feelings of hatred that it did the first time I listened to it. Therefore, I'm not sure if it really belongs here.

In the case of Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica, this is an album that I just can't get into regardless of how many times I listen to it. There are some tracks that do have some appeal, but overall the album just doesn't appeal to me.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

The first one that springs to mind,,Lou Reed's Metal Music Machine.

Mind ,after reading a review,I knew what I was getting into.

Only managed to sample my way through some of it.

Horrendous.

Shake & bake.

I really try to find the value of all music, but some efforts are just impossible to tolerate. Sorry if my selections offend anyone.

Not really offended but I kind of get tired of people throwing Big Generator under the bus. There's some great stuff on there especially I'm running, final eyes and holy lamb. Even Shoot High aim low is pretty decent. I admit the rest is hit or miss and often poppy but not bad.

I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!!

Arc was the first CD I ever bought. I played it on repeat for nine hours. Then a few weeks later I did the same, but only for six hours.
Amazing album.

The worst prog album I ever heard was the first Asia album. Kansas a close second (can't remember which albums I attempted, but they were all dreary)
