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.

Hehe, to each their own to be sure, but you have to ask yourself why your on this site if two of the greats of prog don't appeal to you mate? Insulting FLOYD AND YES in the same post. Surely, that has to merit 50 lashes!

piper at the gates of dawn a awful album?, yea i agree with ya, what a deauchbag.

In Prog: MARILLION - Script For A Jester's Tear

bought that encouraged by fan's opinions and i got totally disapointed... i was hoping it would be more than a Peter Gabriel-cover backed by medium-to-low guitar and piano...

In General Music: IRON MAIDEN - Number Of The Beast

No coments...

I happen to like Colosseum's "Anthology" thanks and it gets played a lot. I'm a blues man though, so I like it. _Valentyne Suite_ is amazing mind.

Worst buys:

Oasis - "What's The Story Morning Glory" (I gave this to my brother)
Cast - "All Change" (Not actually that bad, but it's not essential, pop-tastic; also gave to my brother)
Manic Street Preachers - "Everything Must Go" (Again, not awful, but just not my thing anymore; also gave to my brother)
Ash - "1977" (Not a bad album, but the vomiting bit at the end ruins the whole album for me. I swapped this for Joan Osborne - "Relish" (I like this album, so don't laugh)).

Not bought a bad prog album yet, although I'm not sure how many plays Soft Machine's Anthology 1967-1973 will get.

My least played albums, although not bad, are my Gary Moore albums. I also don't play Queen's final album anymore, but not because it's bad.

Remind me never to buy a Status Quo album.

James.

When I was still a noob, I went out looking for some prog records on vinyl and came across a little record called 'Love Beach'.

"Sweet!" I thought, "some ELP, I've heard a few of their songs, they're quite awesome. strange I havent heard of any of the ones on this album..."

man oh man, was I pissed when I put it on.

Arcturus - Disguised Masters
Ugh, a dark progressive band mixed to some techno-ambient crap. If you ever see that album in a store scream and run away

It`s a real waste of money, better buy yourself ice cream or something... Lucky for me I bought it on a sale for 3$. But really keep away from this sh*t.

you go inside, quickly.

If you have two, go inside them both.

if yes close to the edge was a waste of money for you , I belive
you should stop listening prog music for several reasons:
1) yes is one of originator of progressive rock music
2) close to the edge is one of the best progressive rock albums
ever made.
3) almost every progressive bands of today are influence by
yes
4) yes was the first supergroup:
best drummer, best bass player, best guitar player,
best prog rock keyboard player( rick wakeman)
and the best prog lyricist and the most melodic in prog and
rock histoy, by rock critics and fans alla round the world.

The Album SUCKS

Worst progressive rock album,
I'd have to say Shadowlands by Glass Hammer.

When I heard this I couldn't believe what I was hearing
considering all the hype. However...my worst purchase to date
is Grobschnitt: Rockpommel's Land; the vocals drive me
bonkers!
