Band: Best Album - Worst Album

Mike Oldfield:

This is a perfect example of my previous post. No such things as absolutes. Snowsnow thinks AHM is PF's worst, I don't, but I respect his opinion and am quite intrigued by it.  What is it that makes AHM your worst album ?

Okay. For me Queensrÿche are one of the biggest dissapointments for me because they were so good from 1983-1990 and just tanked after that by releasing spam after spam.
Ergo to say... Operation Mindcrime to everything and anything after 1991's Promise Land. f**king horrible!!

Other dissapointments.
IQ-- THE WAKE; then ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY and NOMZAMO. Wow. That was a let down.
GENESIS-- TRICK OF THE TAIL to CALLING ALL STATIONS (I am still pissed at Genesis for leaving their career on this album. sh*tty!!!

Obviously , though sometimes a different choice of words can spark heated debates, or even just plain old insult throwing, so I try to choose my words carefully !

Well, sorry for being a blasphemous heretic () but I still hate those albums, after giving them many, many spins, I parted with them.

 ^^^ I definitely did switch them. Still Life is in my top 5 albums ever. That's a lot of Rush, Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson it's beating out. Heritage was pretty emotionally flat to me. Don't know if it's their "worst" since I haven't heard every album they've released, but it is my least favorite of the ones I've heard so far.

I guess I'm not a true belieber either . What Melomaniac said isn't blasphemous in any way

It's probably due to the the fact that none of my close friends were into them either, and therefore I never heard their stuff getting played much. I'm sure I will check out these goliath's of prog one day - I just don't have much time left after listening to newer bands like Enochian Theory, The Dear Hunter,Seconds Before Landing etc etc

Hey man. You do what you want, but there will come a time where you will really want to explore King Crimson. It's in every hardcore proggers blood to uncover the mastery of that band. Their discography is quite extensive, but starting off with their 1969 debut IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING is an excellent start and it happens to be their very first release. Enjoy Eclectic prog at its finest....when you decide to go there.

Happy progging to you.
