Rick Wakeman's "Myths and Legends of  King Arhur & The Knoghts fo The Roundtable", WHAT A PIECE OF OVERBLOWN VACUOUS CRAP!!!
 
Want more proof?
 
Here's the whole spectacle at Wembley--with the full Ice Capades treatment no less (pathetically hilarious)

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

Love both of those albums but Momentary Lapse is definitely one of Floyd's best, and I don't care if I'm in the minority. Pink Floyd were at their worst when they were soulful and bluesy and there's not that much on here. Just classic spaciness. Some odd 80s accents, but overall better than many many Floyd albums.

I've probably heard my share of bad prog albums, but now it's not easy to remember which one really takes the cake. Besides SfaM, I think this very dubious prize could go to a Russian band called Little Tragedies - I'm afraid their name speaks for itselfCry. A monument to boredom and lack of ideas if I've ever heard one.

Well, the only one that i have ever put on and really just thought that it was a total drag for it's entire duration was probably Emerson, Lake and Palmer's debut. I can't say i regret bying it because it was cheap, but still. Never really listen to it.
The worst album that i actually regret bying was OOIOO's Kila Kila Kila, because it was pretty much... uniteresting. Plus it wasn't as cheap as ELP.

Now the worst album i have ever HEARD... well, it's either Träd Gräs och Stenar's debut (even though that one has ) one redeeming quality in it's cover of All along the Watchtower or possibly some of that bullsh*t Merzbow keeps churning out for all those gullible enough to actually consider themselves alternative and more cool because of their music taste.... yeah.. it has to be Merzbow. :)

DT- Scenes from a memory, hair metal song +3 or four extra minuetes.
 
Neurosis- Given to the rising- Sludge and yelling taken to far.
 
 Becoming the archetype- the physics of fire, WHATS THIS? The greatest harcore band out there go's Dream theater, WHY?

sort of hard to argue with these two....

one ended up tossed out the window of a moving vehicle... the other... well... my review spoke for itself.

Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

Counting only prog albums, I mean, not counting albums by prog bands which weren't prog (like Invisible Touch), I have to go with Kayo Dot's Dowsing Anemone in Copper Tongue.

I am split between Egyptian Kings' "Algamest," and Kayo Dot's "Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue." They may not be the worst, but they seemed like it after the all the hype.

'On The Sunday of Life'  by Porcupine Tree is probably the only progressive album that I have ever bought and disliked, but even so it was not terrible.

The main problems I had with 'On The Sunday...' were Steven Wilson's voice, he sounds nothing like he does on the other albums, the programmed drums and the many short songs that consist of nothing but (programmed) drum solos, odd sounds and dull narrations.
Sadly I am yet to find an experimental progressive avant-garde garage rock band.

Magma - Merci
King Crimson - Beat
 
I don't buy albums that are rated low most of the time, and these two were exceptions because of fanboyism. They both lacked any good composition (well, 1 or 2 tracks on beat were good), and had 80s pop written all over them.

I dunno probably some avantgarde album AHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHHAHAHA







just kidding



in actuality, Scarsick's second half was pretty brutal (the first half was hysterical though...not sure this was intended though). Most DISAPPOINTING would have to be Deadsoul Tribe's "The January Tree" had such high reviews here, and it came off as nothing more to me than derivative, derivative, derivative. And I enjoy Neal Morse Wink LOL

Everybody has different tastes, of course.   I will admit that the production on Owner is impressive, but once I got used to all of the bells and whistles that horn threw in, I realized that there isn't much else to the song except for an ok Rabin solo.  Our Song is my favorite off that album.

I don't get it...my favorite song on 90125 is Owner of a Lonely Heart. Definitely one of the best mainstream hits of the 80s and a real class act song. Big%20smile

It's not that bad.   I find Changes and the last three tracks listenable (although Hearts just barely makes it.)  Owner on the other hand makes me want to reach for a shotgun....

Excellent album, but this band is the polar opposite of accessible or easily-digested in just about every area.
