Blah! In The Court Of The Crimson King is SO over rated. I love the album, but come on! Anything done with Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, is better by a large margin. Even Islands with Boz Burell is a FAR more interesting listen.

The first one is the poorest for me too, Tom, but still decent!

I don't think it's really fair in this thread to post bands that have barely a handful of albums lol! I mean, if we get a band that has two releaases, well by that logic one is good (best) and one is bad (worst) lol! What if they're both good?!

Interesting. I always used to regard Stationary Traveller as one of their four weakest albums (with Breathless, I Can See Your House From Here and The Single Factor), but repeated listens have completely changed my opinion.
I now rate it up there with Nude and Rajaz, just behind the incredible trilogy from Mirage to Moonmadness.
 
Incidentally, Moonmadness has just been released on 180g vinyl.
 
If you have a really good deck (anything from a Linn LP12 upwards to a PT Anniversary or a Nottingham Analogue Annalog or a Voyd or similar) the sound quaity is simply unbelievable - far better than CD. The best £23 I've ever spent.

My problem picking most of these is that with bands with large discographies I don't have a lot of the bad albums (Yes, Genesis, Tull), and with bands with a small discography I don't feel like calling one of four albums bad, typically I usually think they're all good.

Univers Zero - Ceux Du Dehors / Rhythmix

(and I do like Rhythmix)

Not actually a bad album, but nowhere near as good as Camel's usual standard.

The self titled is still a good album, yes.

I haven't investigated many full discographies, studio album wise, so those were the bands I could fairly do the best and worst with.
