Spot on, both of you.

If I had a favorite band, I could answer this question.  If you expose yourself to enough artists, the question will become irrelevant.  Have fun with it.

Cheers!
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The Beatles:
Broke up before they could make any prog '70's albums, then return to pop in the '80's (with synths of course)

I do like the album, but that song is.... Okay, I do even like that one as I get perverse pleasure out of the track.  Funny stuff.   What a way to start an album.  Most of the music from the album I really like and is not a perverse pleasure at all. I think various people who hate Merci just stop at the first track.

Yes-

They're still around when they should have called it quits years ago.
Relying on a Jon Anderson sound-alike, making the band look and sound like a cover band.  Just get Rich Little to sing if that's what you want.
Chris Squire never replacing Jon as lead singer when he left.
Everything recorded after 90125.
All the live and best of albums.

Erm, I had no intention to kid you. I find it truly lovely.  I like the way it works with "I Must Return", and find it a very nice way to close the album. Why did you wonder if I was kidding you?

Tull:
Not using their best material for albums.
eg.
Wondring again, Up the pool, For later, Lifes a long song, Dr Bogenbroom being my favorite tull songs from 1971 not even featuring on Aqualung
Rainbow blues, Paradise steakhouse, Sealion 2, Glory row, Saturation, Quartet, Warrchild waltz, March the mad scientist being my favorite tull songs from 1974 not even featuring on Warchild
 
Now when you make an album, you put your best ideas on that album. Why record some blande songs and put them on the album instead? LOL

Most bands have it the other way around! The stuff Tull put on their albums was still fantastic, though.

Zep --   allowed themselves to be branded as thieves, under-crediting blues sources even though every other blues rocker stole just as much as they did

OK.  I'll throw my two cents in.
 
RUSH: "Grace..." was typical of the time; it's production was slicker than a fresh snot bubble.  But that wasn't/isn't my problem with it.  My problem is that some of the lyrics are incredibly moronic and dunder-headed (IMO, a first for Neil).  Someone wanna explain to me what "Red Lenses" is all about?  I cringe when I hear it.
 
GENESIS: "Invisible Touch" has to be the WORST record in history, aside from Billy Joel's ill-fated attempt at metal with Attilla in the early 70's.  Less drum programming, better songwriting and more melodic vocal tone would've raised the bar.  Sadly, ever time I hear this musical abortion, I also hear the bar fall with a thud.
 
DREAM THEATER: "Falling...": HUGE MISTAKE!  Desmond Child wrote songs for Cher and Bon Jovi, not to mention friggin' RICKY MARTIN! Also another problem that tends to plague DT is that, while their instrumental sections are quite challenging, they're also a challenge to listen to.  Sorry; I can't take more than 7 minutes of noodling while Petrucci and Rudess try to find the plot they lost.

Jethro Tull- Why they had to release a synphpop album? They are folk!
