Wrong. Jean and I love the Calvert Hawkwind albums. The "Sonic Assassins" EP is outstanding; some of the very best Hawkwind of all times. There is an amazing version of "Death Trap" on it.
I agree with "Tarkus" too, but heartily disagree with "And then there were Three".

DONT SAY 'WRONG'
ITS A VERY NEGATIVE SIGN,
NEVER SAY WRONG;
INSTEAD SAY LIKE 'I THINK'

You're right, Memowakeman, 'Discipline' is a very good album by King Crimson who, you'll have noticed, never gave two sh*ts about being 'in' with the scene. The album is very avantgarde for the early '80's and it just sounds like a big F*CK OFF to the whole New Wave/Post Punk scene of the time.
All credit to the genius that is Robert Fripp.
We're not worthy!!!

Discipline is very good, and quite a revolutionary album, I think most people like this one.

Have you ever found that your favorite album by a band turns out to be considererd by many as a lesser work or may even be derided?
For example, my favorite Yes album is Tormato and I often find myself defending that position.
Is Grace Under Pressure your favorite Rush album when everyone else insists that it should be Moving Pictures?

Grace Under Pressure is great! Not my fav of course, but definitely underrated.
Tormato and Drama are in the post! They've had so many mixed review I've got to hear for myself.

I don't know, I am "radical" in about 50% cases, disdaining most of the considered classics and having own favourites. I sometimes think I simply do not fit this site well, but then I think that since we listen to the same progressive groups together the contrast could prove useful.

Ayreon : the Dream Sequencer, I always hear that this will not do and i have to like Human eq. or Electric castle better but i don't  . Spock's Beard : i like the first three albums more than "V", I'm not alone in this though. King Crimson : I think Red is much better than In the court , I love Starless and Fallen angel from the latter on the other hand I don't like 20 Schizoid from the former only Epitaph and the title track are good songs here. ELP : The only track of this band that i find really outstanding (at this moment) is Tarkus.

I said almost just because the vocals in Journey are a bit too loud in the mix and the background music during narration is a bit too empty.
If those 2 things were taken care of, it would be on my top 10 for sure.
Its still my favourite wakeman album anyways.
White Rock is a wonderful instrumental album. The title track is one of the best synth workouts put on tape, the 2nd track has some of the best mellotron passages, the main riff/theme is memorable, laxx' is a wonderful experimental track, and the closer is as good as the highlights from Wives.

Guess what?......I love Tormato. See my name and signature. And I love it for all the "wrong" things that everyone critizice. I wouldn't take out a single note played by Wakeman, or Howe, and by the way, any other member. I think the battle of Wakeman, Howe and Squire to full every song with unlimmited melodies is adventurous and remarkable. Seems they are fighting to please me!
I've listening to it since 1980, on a very regular basis, and never get tired of it, honest.

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

The Flower Kings - World of Adventures (not very liked, but I think it is one of their best)
Roine Stolt - The Flower Kings - Probably his least liked solo album since the 90s ... As good as World of Adventures, if not better.
Rick Wakeman - White Rock : One of his lowest-rated albums in the 70s ... One of the best soundtrack albums ever recorded

I do enjoy many of the songs from the most hated album by Yes, "Union".
But not my favourite, of course.
And my least favourite is Big Generator, but it's not that bad...
