I don't think  Yes'  "Big Generator" is a bad album at all - not Prog, just a good rock album using drums, guitars and synths which many other bands get away with, but it's so polished and they do it so well Confused
 
Purple's "Abandon" - not their best,  a real disappointment especially after the brilliant  "Perpendicular" Unhappy
 
"On the Sunday of Life" - a very early effort, before the band really got into their stride i guess?Unhappy
 
"Abacab" - another pop effort, i actually liked this when it came out, but the formula now sounds very hackneyed.Ouch
 
Pink Floyd - a momentary lapse of marketing!

Other. The live album "Vital" by Van der Graaf Generator is hated by many, but is in my opinion one of the very best live albums ever, despite the technical problems Jackson had.

Jethro Tull "A" is a great album, in my humble opinion!
 
I adore the superb Black Sunday and the folky The Pine Marten's Jig!Thumbs%20Up

   I don't know the Caravan's album you listed, but I do like the rest of the albums you mentioned.

This one is easy-- Abacab by several miles. The 'Momentary' tour was great, but then I went the second night and it was *exactly* the same, like seeing a play twice in a row.

Momentary Lapse. The Single factor is pretty good, too, though.

Thanks for the tip, I have seen it before at my local used record store and have debated buying it on a few occasions. I might skip it for nowSmile
 
Oh, Under Wraps isn't that bad. I mean, sure it's crap, but it's quality crap. I prefer to most of the heavy metal period further on.

On The Sunday of Life is here because most of the PT fans that only know In Absentia and Deadwing and such do not appreciate Wilson's early experiments. I know its not everyone, especially the open minded music lovers on this site, but it is most of the general population
 
You better stay at home, lest you be hanged from a tree in a public square for including PT in the poll!!!!!!AngryAngry

There is a few good albums on that "hated" list , for me I`ll go with Big Generator not because its brilliant though I do believe in places its very good,   it brings back memories of when my life was simple and I was free, it come out at a time when I was discovering everything I could find out about Prog Rock I had become a Prog junkie !  I feel the same way for Rush Hold Your Fire though thats not on the list to vote for.  I also like Pink Floyd`s  Momentary Lapse of reason       I went to the Floyd concert in Melbourne when that come out  it has a special meaning to me.  Thumbs%20Up

My vote goes for A.
Fresh, complex, witty, original, atypical.
Full of synths, but not drowned in synthpop music. A great piece.

Absolutely no contest here - On The Sunday Of Life is my favourite PT album. In fact, it could be in my all time top ten albums! Clap
 
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason is a distant second. Smile

I'm happy to say I haven't heard any of them and don't plan on that changing.

I cant really vote here because i have less than half of these i think. But ima hafta throw in my two cents on underwraps since it came up.  I think under wraps has some very excellent composition on it. some very beautifuyl things there. They are largly hidden however by synth and production overzealousness. IF ya listen to the music a bit more than you listen to the instrumentation its a fine album.
