Tormato > Abacab > Three of a Perfect Pair > Love Beach

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

There are some gems there, but not so much the albums themselves, but rather some of their individual tracks. I've never found a Camel album I didn't like, so maybe award it to Single Factor, although Momentary Lapse of Reason is pretty good as well.

Tormato - while I respect those who don't get on with it, it is still a good album in my view and is unfairly treated (generally down to the tinny production) when you consider other Yes albums outside the classics.

Giant for a Day is not bad, though I prefer Civilian(can jam out more to that one). Abacab is certainly not bad though far from my favorite Genesis album. And Tormato is absolutely not bad lol, in fact it's good.
And good ole 'Love Beach' first on every list like this lol. And judge all you want but I'll just say.. I don't hate it

Final Cut is my fave Floyd album anyway so gets the vote. After that, I still think Tormato, Abacab & Momentary Lapse are very good albums. If I had to choose the best of what I really consider poor albums, it would be Earthbound. The sound quality sucks, the horrible jazz vamps are atrocious, but that version of Schizoid Man rips

Although there's nothing wrong with The Final Cut or Abacab, I voted for Tormato - it's not nearly as bad as I once thought...

Went with Hold your Fire. Abacab was a close second.

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. |
I like Under Wraps as well. You are correct, even though it is a synth-driven album, Martin Barre really loves Under Wraps. If you listen to it, Martin's guitar tone is synth-like throughout. Don't dismiss this album, it does have some really great tracks on it.

No need to make excuses - most of these selections would be considered among the 'worst' overall. Good to see the love there for Works Vol. 2 - must have been my earlier post doing the trick!

3OAPP is a pretty good album |
You're right it is. I probably should have chosen "Beat" instead. Even that one is not too bad.

I really only tossed it in there because the sound quality is so sub par.

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

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.
