I don't understand the hate for Earthbound. The sound quality is not the best, but it's still classic King Crimson.

Not so sure about "Dogs of War" and "Learning to Fly" (though I do like them, specially "Dogs of War"), but "On the Turning Away" is indeed among my favourite songs from the band... from this album I would add "Yet Another Movie" as a standout track for me... but mostly because of the live version.

Doubt. Tomato was an ill conceived concept from the start. A little too sugary in places which defeats the album as a whole. Long live Crimso's 'Pair.

And so does the lion's share of Rush music since Grace Under Pressure. It sucks fantast-suck loads of suckiness to the point of suck-ly suck-hood in all its suck-dom.

The Gunner's Dream
Two Suns In The Sunset

The Final Cut is bad on a Pink Floyd standard, but it's not a bad album.

I like Union, too.

Of those I've heard, I would say Rush: Hold your fire is the best, and that is a three star album at best.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Pink Floyd - The final cut! Brilliant album! Also some other good ones as well on this list, e.g. Rush- Hold your fire or Yes- Tormato

Jethro Tull - Under Wraps. I actually like this album. I like the cloak and dagger themes. If you have read cold war thriller novels then you will get more out of this album. I think that I read somewhere that Martin Barre cited it as his favourite Tull album.

Tormato by a hair over Abacab...

Silent WIngs of Freedom wins this poll of generally lame albums... no album in the poll had anything that ruled quite like that on par with the best they ever did.

Three of a Perfect Pair hardly qualifies as the "worst" of anything.  Earthbound, OTOH....

I expect you have some waterproof (or rather, beerproof) monitor, given all the beer spiting it gets.
