I'm talking about Perry era. The first few albums were fine for their time but Perry-era Journey offered hard pop-rock some quality songwriting, highly professional standards, and great musicianship (Neal Schon? Are you kidding? One of the best all-around rock guitarists in the business). Great songwriting band, both early or later periods. |

Yeah there are more annoying albums out there for sure. And of course I would take anything from The Residents than any of those other non-artists that you mentioned above. I do appreciate and love about half of The Residents albums and listen to even the ones I don't consider their best quite often. But I won't even consider listening the garbage that you mentioned. Hell, I would listen to "Vileness Fats" or "The Big Bubble" from The Residents over that pop drivel any day. It's just hard to keep interest in it after many listenings. And it's fun to make fun of it too (the bad Residents music, I mean. Pop music just makes me angry
 ) |

anything by Genesis. If pushed I would say The Lamb snores away on Broadway is the worst I have ever heard. |

I'm listening to the Residents album The Big Bubble right now.
 I've never heard it before but it sure is hilarious for a first time listener!!!! Most annoying album EVER? I could listen to this again on rare occasions but it sure ain't gonna go down in history as their best, THAT's for damn sure!!! I'd take this over Tiffany, Mylie Cyrus, Justin Bieber or Barbara Streisand ANY day but i wouldn't want to hear it on perpetual replay for eternity either

I actually had that exact same response to every Neil Young album. |

I don't decry the post-Pinder era either. I actually still put Long Distance Voyager right up there with the big seven. It was the great comeback Octave should have been. Even though it's now a horribly dated product of its time, I still like The Present as well. |

Me too but even as fans we have the right not to love everything. I'm actually not hard to please but aside from maybe two or three decent songs KotK just sounded like drab adult contemporary to me. I actually liked Sur Le Mur(saw the tour too)so it's not like I have low tolerance for the post Pinder era. I haven't heard Strange Times yet though.

HUGE Moody Blues fan here. Keys of the Kingdom was when eve I finally stopped worrying about being a completist in my Moodies collection. And they didn't exactly redeem themselves with Strange Times. |

There are many, "worst" is a tough word to use. * A lot of Steve Hackett albums are just boring, especially the Wolf one...he should not sing. * Magma, the Klingon's are coming thru my speakers....don't get it, gibberish garbage. *Yes~Fly From Here, blah no color like walking into a white room. * DT~ Astonishing, putrid! * Marillion~Holidays In Eden, boring. * VdGG~Grounding In Numbers, why even step in the studio? * Gong~ I See You, stick a fork in them more than done!

Yes, "was." But they're not referring to albums like Journey and Look Into The Future. Most "Journeyfans" focus on the Perry era. And Journey had voluntarily begun the shift to AOR before Perry joined. The evidence is right there on Next, their third record. As for Foreigner, have a listen to the very first album. Easily a few notches above those other bands you "lumped" them in with.

^ yeah Journey was a great band before they went sicky sweet commercial. After that I put them in the same pile with Asia, Styx, Survivor, etc., etc. On the bottom.

And they'd be right. Journey was a great band. Survivor, Foreigner, Asia, might as well throw in Loverboy, not nearly in the same league. |

Most new prog. Technically efficient, but I just don't get it.

Sears would have been a great frontman — for a different band. I guess TN were trying to branch out (they did land a deal, but then the subsidiary folded), but by the end everything Sears was writing was total crap. He couldn't dust Geoff's notebooks!

I love Art & Illusion but always thought it was an Andy Sears song. I never realized Geoff had anything to do with it until I got the Live and Let Live Extended double CD re-release. There he was singing it live at the Marquee  Maybe we should start a new thread called, "lead vocalists who were irreplaceable"...I'd put Geoff near the top of the list. To be fair, how could Andy Sears, or anyone for that matter, ever compare to this: |
