Ok, let me say what I like less by band. Just to be clear:
Genesis - everything after Duke Yes - Big Generator (I like Talk, instead) Pink Floyd - I like everything, including Final Cut and Momentary Leapse of Reason (maybe this last I like less) Camel - The Single Factor (Pressure Points if live albums count) Magma - No doubts about Merci Jethro Tull - Dot Com is the only quite bad that I have. I remember bad comments about "Too old to Rock and Roll", but I like that one. PFM - After Suonare suonare I stopped buying their albums. Just restarted this year. KC - I can't find one really bad so I went just for the low rated, as with PF. Renaissance - I hate that album. One of my few one-stars ELP - It's leading the poll |

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Well, "Come ti Va..." is likely worse but I don't have it. I remember some songs from the radio.

The Final Cut is, collectively with a few other Floyd albums, the best album ever.
Abacab is a fun album, Big Generator is okay Fine, Love Beach, but its not without its moments. |

I've not heard any of these except The Final Cut, which is brilliant, so no vote yet.

I really like music from Merci, and once I got past the first track (I even like that in a humorous fashion), I was very pleasantly surprised. "Elephas Levi" and "The Night We Died" were early standouts for me, but I like the "Otis"'s) (especially the second one) and I "I Must Return" too ("I Must Return" being very good when played back-to-back with "The Night We Died"). I'm actually surprised at how many people seem to hate the album, though I can understand "Ooh, Ooh Baby" and to a lesser extent "Do the Music" getting derision, and of course there's that hilarious TV performance by Vander of "Otis" (but I think the studio album version much better and he's done various good live performances of it -- fun track). I did a topic on it before, so it might be interesting for some to see other opinions on Merci: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58773
Octopus, did you find Merci uniformly bad -- any music you liked from it? As for the list; no vote. Edited by Logan - November 02 2010 at 11:41 |

Yeah, The Big Generator was a bad album, and so were The Final Cut and The Single Factor...but NOTHING can compare to how horrendously bad Love Beach was. Easily one of the worst collection of sounds I have ever heard.

I have defended Love Beach many times in the past and will again today. It no way deserves the hate it gets. i really like Canario, For You and the epic Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman so for such a hated album it gives me nearly 30 minutes of good music.
Canario is one of E.L.P.'s finest moments imho:

Big Generator would get my vote closely followed by Abacab.

Timeline, worse than Camera Camera, worse than pop Genesis/Yes, an album bad enough to give giant turds like Eye II Eye or St Anger a superiority complex. Love Beach is not such a bad album at all, it's just the artwork and the "dude, how the f*** could ELP make this album" syndrome.

Final Cut. IMHO it's a good album if viewed as a Roger Waters solo album. I don't think it's a Floyd album-no Rick Wright and no writing credit for Gilmour.
