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. 

[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

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

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.
