What is the worst album you've heard

But still try New Trolls Concerto Grosso n°2. and you'll long for it.

Anyway heres the worst song I ever heard - even if it was made for the noble cause of supporting "our troops" (not mine) during the gulf war lol

Voices That Care featured: Kenny G, Chevy Chase, Kevin Costner, Cindy Crawford, Ted Danson, Whoopi Goldberg, Wayne Gretzky, Magic Johnson, Alyssa Milano, Dudley Moore, Kurt Russell, Shakin' Stevens, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Celine Dion, Peter Cetera, Garth Brooks, Mike Tyson, Gunnar & Matthew Nelson, Michael Bolton, Will Smith... AMONG OTHERS. What could possibly go wrong?

 

As creator of the thread, I didn't intend for it to get into the non-inspired business music of pop radio, I was hoping to keep it in the prog arena, but I still like to hear people's opinions whether I agree with them or not. 

 

Also, just because a certain album is a particular group's worst album doesn't mean it is the worst album ever.  Just because I think "Open Your Eyes" by Yes is their worst album, it doesn't mean it is THE worst album I've ever heard.  (However, "Heaven and Earth" is definitely one of the worst albums ever). 

 

And yes I noticed your review of "The Big Bubble" had one star next to it also.  This doesn't mean that The Residents didn't have any 5 star albums, because they do.  The Residents prove that you can have great Avant-prog/RIO albums and they can still be funny (just like Frank Zappa proves the same thing).  Many times the humor is in the music itself, not necessarily always the lyrics.  The Residents were really good at also proving that you can wear out that humor too, as in "The Big Bubble", and though it's funny at first, what is the value in an album that wears itself thin and becomes worthless after the first listen?  The value is only in the fact that it can be considered one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

Which is why when Floyd fans call AMLOR and DB among their best albums, I don't know quite what to make of it.  Yeah, each to his own I suppose but the albums were made with ill will and ultimately were mediocre at worst and lacking originality and derivative of their older work at best.  Lived up to Waters' pretty fair forgery summing up of it. In an artistic sense, Waters was only vindicated for wanting to break up the band because though they enjoyed commercial success with these albums and the gigantic, overproduced drek tours, they went against everything the band once stood for.  It's like Floyd turning into Live Aid U2, yuck yucky yuck. No passion, except whenever Gilmour felt the need to vent against Waters.

Oh, trust me, there are.  Whether they are actually serious or not may be up for debate  but at least self-serious if that is the correct expression. When I once dissed those albums, they told me I don't have the maturity to see their worth.  Yeah, well, when I see a turd, I call turd.  Too bad if my turd is sometimes somebody else's pie cake.
