It's hard to think of albums I hate, because I usually go to my iPod to trigger my memory, and if I hate it, it probably ain't in there.

I'm talking about Yes - 90125Dead
Horrible, bad 80s music in my opinion.



I love 90125. But hey..at least you admit it's prog!

I think it is a magnificent album.

Too electronic for my tastes.



It isn't electronic at all!!Confused

I guess electronic isn't the best word for what i'm trying to say. 
I just don't enjoy the tone of the instruments.
Drums are too boxy, guitars too cheesy (there's the word!) and all the songs seems like they are supposed to be singles. 
Just my opinion, it's not that it's a horribly made album. I just can't enjoy music  that sounds like 80s pop.

He turned into a hoover!

I don't want to say that I hate any particular album. If anything, I'm not ready for it yet.

Tarkus except when Greg Lake sings. There's a lot more I don't enjoy but it's the first one that comes to my head.

For me it has to be anything by Frank Zappa, not that I 100% consider what he does prog. I have tried.......I only own Ship Arriving...blah, blah. And yes ONLY because of "Valley Girl"......although I can play both sides of that album and not feel like laughing.

I don't like Dream Theater in general too.

Me too. I think it's not the way that they should write songs. But I disagree with tarkus. I think that the title track is amazing. But I agree that they're some songs on this record that are not good

Hm..
I woudn't say i directly hate them, but I *really* don't get VDGG.
 
Like with many other prog bands I read a lot of reviews here on PA and decided to hear VDGG. I borrowed Pawn Hearts, a highly ranked album, but I really don't like it, even after having listened to it many times. Then I borrowed Godbluff, another high ranked album, but I found it it was only slightly better. I won't purchace any VDGG album, I guess.
 
Maybe it's PH's voice, the organ, the american-psychedelic sound

I don't like most of modern prog too. I think Grace for the Drowning is really dull and repetitive but there's some good parts in it.

There were two such instances in my life.

First was Pain of Salvation's Scarsick. I was a huge fan of the band at the time this atrocity was released, so I anticipated it in excitement and bought it on the day it came out. Since I love the band I actually gave it 5 or 6 listens, then threw it in the recycling bin and stopped caring about their future releases.

The second was Beware of Darkness by Spock's Beard. I was all excited when I found a brand-new shrinkwrapped copy in a thrift store. Big mistake. On the bright side, it's the only album I ever made a profit on (Bought for a dollar, sold for 3. Good riddance.)

There is probably a lot of progressive music that I wouldn't like, but I find that I am most disappointed when bands that I like release albums I can't stand (and I buy them without listening first). So, in that regard, two of my least favorite albums would be Dream Theater's Train of Thought and Evergrey's Inner Circle.

An album that really made me vomit was Transatlantic's The Whirlwind. Possibly the most masturbatory album of all time.

What compelled any of you guys to try an album that made you sick? LOL

On an unrelated note:

"Fluffy was a rabbit
One ear up and one ear down
The other rabbits laughed at him whenever he came around
They said his ear looked funny
And when he came to play
They wouldn't play with fluffy
They made him stay away"Cry

Bruce Hampton, possibly

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
