The worst of the worst - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I agree with the consensus that TFC doesn't belong on here.

The Final Cut and Dot Com don't belong here.

1. I don't see why The Final Cut is placed on this list.

2. Abacab is the only of these albums I have heard. I agree that it is Genesis' worst
(Note: I have not heard Calling All Stations).

3. I vote for "Others": the poorest album made by one of the major prog bands, as far as I have heard, is:

Roll the Bones - Rush

1) Personally I don't think it's a poor album but it's considered the worst of Pink Floyd (see other polls).

3) I don't have any Rush album, this is why I have added a "other" choice. Of course there are surely things poorer than those listed, but this is intended about "bigs" only.

My definition of big depends on the numbers of ratings that's an indicator of the number of fans even when the rating is negative. Of course this applies to Rush, VDGG and all the bigs that I didn't add to the list because I'm not "expert" enough of their music.

TFC always gets an unfair trial, IMHO

I'd say most people hate this album, because it's seen as the one Waters forced on the band

and ultimately broke Floyd..... but most of these TFC "unfans" don't actuallyt know the album per se... they just ignore it....

Musically it's not great, but it's still fairly good (much better than that atricious MLOR album), vocals and lyrically speaking it's all Waters ....which is what Floyd fanboys hate about it and won't give it its chance

If this was a Waters solo album, it would rank as his second best (after amused To Death) , edging slightly Pros & Cons

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I think that Crimson will win this poll hands down.....

in a good way (the least vote for it)

But Genesis 's worst is Invisible Touch, while Tull's worst is certainly not dot com, but Under Wraps, and Floyd's worst is Momentary Lapse Of Reason

Soooooo my choice is "others" to protest on your lack of correct taste

Each band has its worst. Which is the worst of the black list above ?

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 ?
