The Final Cut is in my top 5 Pink Floyd albums, I love it. It is a Waters solo album, for the most part, tough.

Hold Your Fire, my man. that album's got a bad rep, no doubt.

 

for me: Dream Theater's Falling to Infinity, and rightly so. It's mostly junk, IMO.

Genesis - We Can't Dance, followed by Invisible Touch

Yes - Union, followed by Big Generator

VdGG - None, I like all of them

Marillion - Anything after This Strange Engine

IQ - Are You Sitting Comfortably and Nonzamo

KC - hmmmm...i'll probably get in trouble for this one but Starless and Bible Black (too much Frippery, not enough melody, fortunately they came back with Red)

Pink Floyd - The two post-Waters albums

Rush - That album that came between Power Windows and Presto (I dislike the album so much I can't even remember it's name).

ELP - In the Hot Seat (Down the Crapper would have been a more appropriate name), followed by Love Beach

Twelfth Night - Like them all (although I haven't heard anything with Electra)

 

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I mentioned Yes' worst album yesterday, and it is my first prog favorite band (though I still insist on Deep Purple being prog)
now; some from my currently favorite bands:

Tangerine Dream: almost all post '80 stuff (with the possible exception of white eagle and hyperborea, even these are not prog at all)
VdGG: The Quite Zone: just boooooring!
Kraftwerk: Every piece of sh*t they released during the '80's, and I don't like radioactivity at all (not Man Machine, though it's not prog and rock, even experimental enough, there's something appealing in this album for me)
Can: Sacrilege, and thankfully it is not a proper an album! it should immediately removed from their discography. Experaimentalism is one thing, producing sh*t by working on older material by unqualified hands is other.
King Crimson: not a single bad piece!!! (to be honest, it took me some time to get used to beat and 3 of a perfect pair. so, these happen to be the worst among the good)
Amon Düül II: Yeti (don't be mad, I only listened to the first three albums, and live in london; and this is the worst among them:))
Ash Ra Tempel/Ashra: Tropical Heat (again, I didn't listen to Göttsching's '80's stuff, but in the light of Inventions, New Age of Earth and Blackouts, could not be any worse than this one!) In addition, Friendship is too much Schulze dominated, overblown with synths. Not bad, though.
Eloy: Performance, Metromania, Ra... Can't pick one of them, all so boring (apart from brief shiny moments)
Klaus Schulze: Only X, Live, Dune and several Wahnfried albums make it to my musical taste. Others I don't really get. (albeit not bad at all)

among my earlier favorite bands:
The Moody Blues: Long Distance Voyager/Present/Other Side of Lİfe (no wonder they are called Moody Blunders by some reviewers in the site!)
Alan Parsons (Project): Vulture Culture (not even Gaudi or Try Anything Once is close to this in terms of filthiness!)
Camel: The Single Factor (all '80's releases come close to this. thankfully they did not release much in the '80's)
Rick Wakeman: All albums, from Rock'n'Roll Prophet up to Return to the Center of the Earth (both excluded) stink. What's the point of making new age!?!!? There are enough new age musicians to stir our blood!
Genesis: all is said upstairs. Need I add anything more?!?!? To be more specific, Invisible Touch is the most stinky one! I heard only three tracks out of it, and that's enough!!! nothing more to say! I'm sure there isn't one piece at least in Mama's quality... (not that Mama is superb, at least it doesn't stink this much!!!)

Not easy to get rid of me!

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Rush - Presto... i dont mind "Show Dont Tell" and "Superconductor" but all else is terrible.
Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Strange...to me it's far better than Power Windows and Hold your fire...
Beside the track you mentioned, there are Red Sector A, The Enemy Within, Kid Gloves and most of all the wonderful Afterimage

A flower?

Symphony X - Symphony X
Dream Theater - Train of Thought

Well, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE became JEFFERSON STARSHIP and then
STARSHIP, and issued so many poor albums (not to mention some of the

"Earth" (1978), a ghastly assemblage of West Coast soft rock and near-
MOR clichés, although 1987's "No Protection" runs it a close second.

Right you are but then they lost the Jefferson bit of their name and then sunk to unexpected and unsuspected depth.

Starship's "We Built This City On RNR" (and bleeping pretentious at that) was rightly voted last year or so, as the worst rock song ever to make it. Only Grace Slick was present at that time.

Wise decision, the vote I mean, and I might add it's a big downfall from Surrealistic Pillow (Jefferson Airplane) to Knee Deep In The Hoopla (Starship)

Musical creativity, where hast thou gone?

what about there greatest hits, didn't that make up for it

Van der Graaf's The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome

I don't hate it by any means. None of their lps are tripe. This one is, perhaps( Present isn't really growing on me) their weakest.

Genesis - Abacab

I only like the title song (except for the boring long end), "No reply at all" and "Dodo/lurker", these are the only really good songs. The rest of the album is so boring...I have decided to put on "another record"

Talking 'bout "Calling all stations"...I have only listened to it once and I have decided not to listen to it again.

Right down the line
