for me an easy choice... forget the numberous stinkers one is exposed here.. not everyone has great talent... however some did or once did and didn't know when to quit was they hit their expiration date... so we have the single greatest turd.. pile of sh*t.. pile of diarrhea ... puddle of piss ever recorded by a once formerly great group...

AMLOR...

It suffered from FM overplay, but AMLOR is not that bad an album. Dave saves it. "One Slip" and "Sorrow" are cool songs.

bah... if that was but the only problem with it..

one of these days I will do the review of reviews topping my previously #1 collaborator ranked greatest PA's album review ever and giving that album the review it so justly earned....

*"Art & Illusion" isn't a bad tune, because it IS a Geoff co-write.

I love Art & Illusion but always thought it was an Andy Sears song. I never realized Geoff had anything to do with it until I got the Live and Let Live Extended double CD re-release. There he was singing it live at the Marquee Thumbs Up

Maybe we should start a new thread called, "lead vocalists who were irreplaceable"...I'd put Geoff near the top of the list. To be fair, how could Andy Sears, or anyone for that matter, ever compare to this:

Sears would have been a great frontman — for a different band. I guess TN were trying to branch out (they did land a deal, but then the subsidiary folded), but by the end everything Sears was writing was total crap. He couldn't dust Geoff's notebooks!

The Asia debut is fine if you dont expect it to sound like a Yes or KC spinoff...but they did get even less inspired with each subsequent album. But to lump them in with Journey and Survivor? That's just uncalled for.

If only you knew how many crazy Journey fans there are out there who would say it's outrageous to "lump" their favorite band in with Asia, Survivor, Foreigner, etc.! (And I like the first few albums by Foreigner a lot.)

And they'd be right. Journey was a great band. Survivor, Foreigner, Asia, might as well throw in Loverboy, not nearly in the same league.

Yes, "was." But they're not referring to albums like Journey and Look Into The Future. Most "Journeyfans" focus on the Perry era. And Journey had voluntarily begun the shift to AOR before Perry joined. The evidence is right there on Next, their third record.

As for Foreigner, have a listen to the very first album. Easily a few notches above those other bands you "lumped" them in with.

HUGE Moody Blues fan here. Keys of the Kingdom was when eve I finally stopped worrying about being a completist in my Moodies collection. And they didn't exactly redeem themselves with Strange Times.

Me too but even as fans we have the right not to love everything. I'm actually not hard to please but aside from maybe two or three decent songs KotK just sounded like drab adult contemporary to me. I actually liked Sur Le Mur(saw the tour too)so it's not like I have low tolerance for the post Pinder era. I haven't heard Strange Times yet though.

I don't decry the post-Pinder era either. I actually still put Long Distance Voyager right up there with the big seven. It was the great comeback Octave should have been. Even though it's now a horribly dated product of its time, I still like The Present as well.

I'm listening to the Residents album The Big Bubble right now. LOL

I've never heard it before but it sure is hilarious for a first time listener!!!!

Most annoying album EVER? I could listen to this again on rare occasions but it sure ain't gonna go down in history as their best, THAT's for damn sure!!!

I'd take this over Tiffany, Mylie Cyrus, Justin Bieber or Barbara Streisand ANY day but i wouldn't want to hear it on perpetual replay for eternity either LOL

Arc - Neil Young. Played once - never again!

I actually had that exact same response to every Neil Young album.

Then I suggest you stop trying them out in the first place.
