 Topic: Most overrated album No. 1
Posted: September 11 2015 at 14:03 |
The proceeding of "Most overrated artist", which of these albums is the most overrated? Do we have "very popular but not that good" prog albums? Let's find out! 
My vote goes for the iconic prism album.

I never vote for overrated polls
IMHO Overrated means = Look at those idiots who love what I decided is mediocre.
All these albums have reached their place in the Prog Pantheon, because they deserve it.
I like Foxtrot more, but this doesn't mean I consider the others overrated

No vote. There's nothing here that's overrated, over celebrated or over appreciated, IMHO.

All deserved classics - no overrating as far as I'm concerned.

Floyd for me, because I never liked the band. The others are classics.

"Overrated" (or underrated, for that matter) is a subjective concept. For many people, it simply means "something I don't like".

Hemispheres and The Wall are both a bit sh*t. This lot are fine.

Crimson King is my least favourite but that doesn't mean it's necessarily overrated. Will not vote.

Certainly not Crimson or Yes. I'll have to think about the other two...

Sing alone now boys and girls .... I know what I like and I like what I know .... COtCK is part super and part dross for me. I've never been overly awed by DSotM but overrated ..... would that I could have made made such a ridiculously successful piece of overratedness .... though I'd rather take less money and have my name on Wish You Were Here.

Each of these records has been an all-time favourite of mine. KC's debut was the one that got me into prog more than any other, Dark Side was my favourite before I knew what prog even was, CTTE is the archetypal prog LP, and Supper's Ready is possibly the greatest song/suite ever written. These 4 (plus Selling England) are probably the only "classic" progressive albums I consider under-rated, if anything. So a long story short, no vote

The Dark Side of the Moon. I would never place it higher than on the fifth place in Pink Floyd discography.

oh that one is easy...
one may be the greatest rock album ever recorded...
one is considered the launching pad for prog rock..
one is considered the masterpiece of prog..
the last... just another Genesis album
Foxtrot.. by light years in the overrated category. Doesn't belong in teh same breath as the other three.

No vote. Each of these are iconic albums and an overrated vote likely means you don't love it, not that it's overrated. I don't understand the apparent animus towards DSOTM except it now sounds a bit dated and has suffered over the years from severe overplay. When it was released, it was a musical revelation. If you don't love it, fine, but calling it overrated is just dumb IMHO.

None. All deserve their respective accolades.

I don't believe in 'overrated'.......they are rated highly, over and over again, for a reason. And as someone mentioned earlier, as well as in my case, these can lose their impact over years due to over exposure and 100's of listens.

Dark Side of the Moon is probably the only one of these to show up in a Rolling Stones top 100 rock album poll, so I'd say that there probably all underrated.
