PM me if you have an itch for some real bad prog ;-)


I have a rail feeling I know what it is.  LOL

Well, however botched or uninspired--it's still prog.

Hell, time to throw up some (heh heh):

Invisible Touch; The More You Know; any number of John Payne-era Asia; Under Wraps; The House of Blue Light, etc.

Even the worst albums out there have good things about them... Especially bad albums made by good artists; they cant help but have at least a few good things in their music...
 
What I want to find is a band that consistently releases one-star material! XD
 
Too bad I'm not a PA-certified artist...

Wakeman's "Rock N Roll Prophet" should be high.

I'd get a huge kick out of a top 100 worst list.


It must be done.

Oh god, Merci Pinch

I would add Le Orme's "Venerdi" and "Biancaneve" (the same awful album, re-released under a new name incase you managed to avoid buying it the first time). Apparently the album inbetween ("Orme") is even worse, but I haven't the heart to listen to it.

Also, "Time-Line" by Renaissance. What is it with great 70s bands humiliating themselves to try and fit into the 80s like this?

Maybe if we make it 'worst albums by bands you actually like' we might get a better (or at least more objective) list.
 
I'd nominate Merci by Magma and Electric Cafe by Kraftwerk.

In topic - still nothing ? No one wants Worst 100 albums list ? Note that for example IMDB has such a list. And when listing countries by GDP on wikipedia, I always look first for the poorest ones (just out of curiosity).

It's simply in human nature, to look who's more poor than you. They say that tabloid magazines are amongst most sold ones. Who knows, but it proves something.

People like dirt. Yeah, some people (like me) are holding it, behaving formally but ... you know.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Come on, Love Beach deserves at least 3 stars for the cover alone LOL

The first side is excellent, if you remember that ELP is a fun and crazy band, the track "Taste of my Love" is horribly cheesy but I love it for that reason. If I want serious and thoughtful I'll put Godbluff on.

I just ran across this in Wikipedia:

I'd easily add Too Old to Rock N' Roll: Too Young to Die to that list.

There's five already!
Good idea! Though sad to see Octave there as its kind of proggy though more commercial with a very nice sound on those two hit singles.... (The Voice, Gemini Dream)
