Most overrated albums

It is central to establishing whether Beatles are overrated.   No, you are right, this is getting off topic.

Not only here, but across the board it's well liked and is one of the few Floyd albums that all the band members love.  I like it moderately, but I swear I can really get bored of trying to sit through Shine On.  

Everything Yes has done after Relayer is abit overrated.

Three. Electric Ladyland was released about a month before the White Album.

IIRC, he may have contributed to "South Side Of The Sky" and "Heart Of The Sunrise", but wasn't given credit for similar reasons, though, somehow, he did get credit for his contributions to "Siberian Khatru".

I don't like the word overrated. There could be an album that is rubbish for most of people, but masterpiece for another.  People just never see/hear/feel the same things when they're listening to same music. Like me and my brother. He loves 2112 from Rush and I love Pawn Hearts from VDGG and we think the second album is not so good. I don't enjoy Thick as a brick , I don't enjoy 2112, but I'd never say it's overrated. 

pink floyd ,the wall ,very average album imo
