I voted for Pink Floyd, they did some horrible stuff, yes, even worse than trio Genesis.  Why is Octavarium in this poll?  It clearly doesn't fit genre wise with anything else up here at all.  It's not nearly as bad as a lot of these either.  Good luck trying to make Octavarium sink to the level of Love Beach.

There might be numerous bad albums but I think Octavarium is the worstAngry

How can a band that had been considered pioneers in prog metal can do such a thing like that!!!

I haven't heard asome of the albums listed but had to go for FTM. I don't like the phrase 'worst of'. Can we say 'Not really my cup of tea'?

Camel - Self Titled Debut Album ?????!!!

 

WHAT ? Was that a joke ?? That's so ridiculous I don't even know what to say. It would be the same as putting Yes - The Yes Album in there. SERIOUSLY, does anybody really hate Camel's debut album ?

 

WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!

I agree. Especially considering it's my favorite Camel album. But then again, it's all a matter of taste. Although I respect people's right to listen to TMV (as long as I'm not around), I still consider FTM musical wanckery and cacophonic rubbish.

TMV is hilarious.   Depending on who you ask, they're either complete crap - or the saviours of prog.

After all, nobody else is doing what TMV is.

But, maybe there's a reason for that...

Yes, not all of their albums are bad at all. I just put Octavarium to see how many votes it gets (as for disappointment I guess). Octavarium is disappointing, but not bad.

I'll give you my ratings for each album in there:

1 [4.17%]
0 [0.00%]
2 [8.33%]
1 [4.17%]
5 [20.83%]
3 [12.50%]

Come on people! Octavarium is not THAT bad!
It's good to see DT not repeatng themselves over and over again.
I chose Queensryche, which, in my opinion, have little contribution to prog, sorry.
Progressive music, a kind of life.

Erlenst, I can't understand Camel's debut.

 

It just sounds so amateur ...I feel it is even much worse than Genesis' debut

Exactly. Pointless and stupid.

I second that.

It just seems like an imposition of a personal taste, nothing more.

From this list, and from the albums I actually know, I'd say Union. Luckily I didn't pay too much money for it. Calling All Stations comes close.

I see that I avoided quite some albums on the list that are considered bad by many people. Never listened to Love Beach, The Final Cut and Free As A Bird. Maybe I'm good at reading reviews

While a majority of them I will concur are flops, I am baffled not only that Frances the Mute is included, but also that it has multiple votes. Even if it's not one's favorite, how they pick that over Love Beach?

Same with Octavarium. And as far as Camel goes, it isn't a bad album by any means, but it is a bit amateur.

some of were nowhere near as fortunate and had these long before the internet and the outstanding reviews at our disposal.   As several  have said... many of these albums are not ...bad but disappointing more than anything.

Wow.. OK. Well, I guess it is a matter of taste, but I have rarely been so surprised about an opinion ! I think it is a very solid album for a debut, with awesome songwriting and great performances. I think it is definately a 4/5 and one of the best prog debuts I know (atleast from the most known bands)

agreed.... and this from someone who really isn't into Camel.  A great debut... though not quite to ELP's standards hahah
