I havn't listened to every album ever but to me the worst albums i have heard are probably 
The 1st Chapter By Circus Maximus (the only time i could label a prog album as generic!)
and The Girl Who Was Death by Devil Doll. I rarely finish an album and say "I never want to hear that again" but with both of these albums it was very much the case

Of course you don't like it. It was written with a literate audience in mind

LOL How does one tell them apart? Anyway, sorry to implicate you. I was poking fun at the one who misspelled passion but was too lazy to search for the post. It's not for everybody, that's for sure.

My bad. Cristi simply dropped in to defend the Gentle Giant album, saying he didn't much care for the Tull album. He never implied it was the worst album ever, and my selective editing caused the confusion. Next time I'll search for the original post so no one gets hurt. Wink

In terms of rock albums from my favorite bands, I'd have to say "The Prodigal Son" by Procol Harum. I love Procol Harum, but this album is one of the worst things I've ever heard. I never want to hear that album ever again. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I gave away Procol Harum after Grand Hotel.

[QUOTE=King Manuel]Out of my own collection probably the 4 King Crimson Albums I purchased : Starless and Bible Black, Red, Larks Tongues, and Wake of Poseidon, they are all horrible, bad, no-good albums.[/QUOTE
 
 
There are bad albums about the infamous ELP LB, and St A by M
 
I refuse to type the titles
 
 
But those King Crimson albums you mention are excellent examples of prog at its best.

Morse at least has talent, unlike some bands that really are appalling, such as..... no, I wont mention them, not worth it.

Musically, Testimony is pretty good.

I've never seen them as preachy. Just a man's search for God.

This has opened a real can of worms; what it illustrates is that people find it impossible to make a distinction between good and bad and what they simply do or don’t like. Criticism should be above and beyond personal taste. Music you hate isn’t necessarily terrible; music you love isn’t a guarantee of wonderful art. But then again, most so-called professional critics act much the same way as punters, so perhaps none of us can really rise above our prejudices.

Absolute Elsewhere - In Search Of Ancient Gods. Absolutely horrible. A concept album based on the books by junk scientist Erich Von Daiken. Spinal Tap's concept album on the life of Jack The Ripper would have sounded better. The only reason people were buying it was because Bruford was on it. I still have a copy rotting away somewhere in my record collection. Next time I go skeet shooting I'll remember to bring this waste of vinyl along. Maybe I'll review it first. If I remember correctly it was released in quad before quad fizzled out in the late 70s.
