Oh: and Renaissance: I don't like A Song For All Seasons at all: very disappointing
Caravan's The Album and Better By Far aren't good IMHO, except for some great exceptions
Pendragon's Not Of This World disappoints me too
Traffic: their reunion album, but hey, who cares...
Some non prog favourites:
Split Enz: Frenzy and See Ya Round are disappointing, not completely bad though
Sting: Sacred Love is not a satisfying album thus far
It's hard for me to say what my favourite band is, so I mentioned more than one band

I usually don't comment on tastes, although I wouldn't say 'A Song for all seasons' is bad or the worst by this band. Have you listened to 'Time Line' and 'Camera, Camera'?.
It may be that the title song is one of my all time favourites...
I really don't like the whole Not of this World, although my favourite Pendragon track is also there: the two part 'Dance of the Seven Veils'.

Genesis And Then There were Three ( Abacrap was at least 1/2 OK )
Yes The big Generator
Pink Floyd The final Cut
Jethro Tull Under Wraps
ELP Now I couldn't really find one so bad to include in this list
Mike Oldfield See ELP
Beatles Yellow Submarine
Styx Cornerstone
Starcasle Citadel
Some of the best acts put out the biggest crap

To be honest: I stopped after A Song For All Seasons. That's what I usually do once I hear that the "golden years" of a band are over.
I know that many other people still like A Song For All Seasons. It has 4 stars here in the ProgArchives! I agree there are still one or two real good tracks on it, including the title track. But compared to Novella the album was a real letdown for me. The sound and the compositions weren't top quality anymore. In my perception anyway.

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?

Much better than Pillow is Crown Of Creation. Love both but Crown is their apex.

Kansas - Drastic Measures
It's not even close to the quality of any other album they released; not even Vinyl Confessions, the other album John Elefante was a part of. |
I don't really know Progowner, both albums are pretty repulsive IMHO.

no, I think that Drastic Measures was undoubtedly the worst...

Personally, I just don't know what Marillion thought they were playing at with '.com'...it's staggeringly poor, to such a degree that it deserves to be in a league of its own.
It reminds me of the 'different artistic direction' that Spinal Tap II took, in the bandstand!

Yes: Tormato
Pink Floyd: The Final Cut
Genesis: Abacab
Dream Theater: Train of Thought
Jethro Tull: Under Wraps
PFM: Jet Lag
Threshold: Critical Mass
Arena: Peppers Ghost
E.L.P.: Love Beach
