I want to know which prog album gave you the worst disapointment after you bought it and listened to it!
Mine was Spock's beard - The kindness of strangers. All the reviews in magazines were talking for a great band and the continuators of the prog scene of 70's but when i bought it and listened to it i really felt sorry for the money i gave

Dream Theater-Train of Thought

Different thoughts running through my mind included:
    -Where the hell are the keyboards?
    -Where the hell is the melody?
    -Did a 9 year old write the instro to this instrumental, and why does it suck?
   
When I bought Octavarium, I just took Train of Thought out of the shelf and put the new one in its place.

Phish - The Siket Disc.  Abyssmal.  I'm quite mild-mannered by nature, but I had an unquenchable urge to hop in the car, drive to Vermont, and beat every band member with a 5-iron....at least their subsequent wails of pain at my hands would sound better than this roadkill....

Several 80's hits collections when i was 9 years old, and a couple of bad singles from around 2000

Haven't purchased bad prog albums yet (luckily)

Love isn't free.  I mean you have to buy dinner, take her to the movies, then when love progresses to commitment you have to support her and the kids, and when love ends there comes alimony.  Love is in no way free.  Oops, I'm showing my misogynistic side again.  Anyway, worst music purchase ever would have to be ELP's In the Hot Seat - I mean what were those guys thinking.  The album sounded more like In the Crapper.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

A Nice Pair by Pink Floyd.

Not only the truly awful Piper at the Gates of Dawn but the almost equally bad Saucerful of Secrets. And I'd hoped it would be as good as Meddle/ Obscured by Clouds. No chance.

Tales from Topographic Oceans is a very close second.

Interestingly Felixxx, that is the only album I have ever purchased, didn't like, swapped, relistened to several years later and realised what a ninny I had been. I now think I understand it more, and appreciate it very much for what it is.

Personally speaking, my last disappointing purchase was Ayreon's Universal Migrator... rave reviews, but not my thing at all..

If you have a protective bunker or shelter I suggest you go inside, quickly.

Tormato, by Yes.

I felt embarrased for the band, having made this horrible and very un-Yes-like album.
Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free
time.

Love isn't only a love affair that has as a result a bunch of kids and some unpaid bills!
Love is also mother-son, human-nature, etc !Money on the other hand is involved  in everything nowdays that's why simple things are turned into complicated! I like your misogynistic side, i have one to

Ditto. I heard Valentyne Suite on a compilation, decided to shell out ten quid for two discs of Colosseum magic, only to discover that it was all relentless jamming nonsense. Blergh.
