Barely listenable.

And for a moment when our world had filled the skies, Magic turned our eyes,
To feast on the treasure set for our strange device

Is there a way to see what the lowest rated albums are on Prog Archives? IMDB.com has a Bottom 100 list.

Pashion Play - Jethro Tull

Dunno if I'd say they're the worst albums ever, but I seriously can't stand any of Meshuggah's albums, especially Catch Thirty-Three.

I'm glad that I am not the only one.

Why so?

GOD! You folks are really throwing some beauties up here!

In the prog realm, "Union" by ABWH remains one of my all-time stinkers, I just can't get into that one at all.

"Lady or the Tiger" by Fripp & Toyah Wilcox might qualify, but I haven't heard it in ages.

It's amazing how some of these things can grow on you over time! Not all of them however.

Any number of albums from Van der Graaf Generator. It's not the music at all, which is very adventurous; rather it is Peter Hammill's grating voice. The only way I can describe it is if David Byron of Uriah Heep overdosed on acid, and we were listening to his gibbering shrieks and mumbles in a hospital psych ward.

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I disagree completely, but I think that's the funniest thing I've read all week LOL

I am quite alright with amicable disagreement, particularly since I am usually disagreeable.

And I am glad you enjoyed the post!

Let's see, as an ardent Jethro Tull fan since the 70s, I will have to say the Tull album "Under Wraps" is the worst piece of tripe the band has ever released.

Beauty is in the ear of the beholder innit. I dislike Passion Play but don't dislike Underwraps although I only bought it just to complete the set as it were.

And yes I've been an ardent fan since the 70s too.

I'm not exactly sure what the worst prog album I've ever heard is, but if I listened to every progressive rock album ever created it would probably fall under the sub genre of Neo-Prog or Tech Extreme Metal.

One of the worst albums I have heard though would be Ayreon's the human equation.

Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored, until the time that there was war and feasts of famine at our door

The worst prog album I have heard? Don't know or if I did know I don't want to offend anyone who might like it.

BUT this should be easy for Prog Archives to work out with their algorithm thingys.

So come on Administrators we want to have a permanent list of the worst prog albums of all time as voted by the members of PA.

We demand it!

I am a HUGE fan of Ayreon, and though I don't agree that this was one of THE worst albums in prog, I do think it was one of Ayreon's (and for that matter, one of Arjen's) weakest.

I never liked Passion play much, but Octopus- Gentle Giant is NOT a bad album. Shocked
