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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.
DT - SFaM

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?

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. :)

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 itself  . A monument to boredom and lack of ideas if I've ever heard one.

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.

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)

Damn, this is unfair! You guys have prog at your libraries. I was lucky to steal, er, "borrow" a single Tull album from mine.

There is absolutely no doubt which album is the worst prog album of all times, and probably the worst album ever: "Psychedelic Underground" by Amon Düül, the first ever Krautrock album. Anyone who has ever heard it will wholeheartedly agree. It is, however, a very important album nevertheless. After this album no German band needed to have an inferiority complex; you simply could not get any worse. And, however bad the album may be from a musical point of view, there is a certain charm to it.

Probably Train of thought is the worst album which sits on my shelfe. No track which I really like, not painfully bad though, that's the rason why I have not gotten rid of it(yet).

After my friends let me hear some Jethro Tull albums (Living in the Past, Aqualung, and Thick as a Brick), I bought Under Wraps. What a disappointment. The next Tull album I bought was A, not much better. These albums bore no relation to the music I'd heard before. You got the idea that they were trying to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant (whatever that means), never a good idea.

"Thick as a Brick" was a huge disappointment to me. In my opinion, it doesn't deserve 90% of the constant praise it gets.
Most of the other JT albums were disappointments as well...
