Worst Best Album?

well that is one of the easiest polls in recent memory.

Never! Go away

I'm not a VdGG fan

although Godbluff is probably my fave of theirs and its not too bad

it easily gets my vote as the worst of these

Toss up between Godbluff and Thick as a Brick.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I've never actually heard ITCOTCK.

Out of the rest, I'd say my least favourite would be Selling England. Always thought Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme were much better.

Sort of surprised as I thought I was the only one who seriously hated VDGG---but SEBTP, I just listened to yesterday and it remains an amazing masterpiece to me--the guitar on Dancing is so amazing --not to mention Firth--even loved More Fool me---and Epping is so funny and deep---really inventive--and Cinema Show and Banks keys is just so perfect---love this album still.

There are brilliant parts on all of those listed ......my least 'favorites' are Wish and Godbluff ........well it's really difficult to say either is the worst best album but GG is prolly my least favorite band on the list so Godbluff gets my vote.

I love Tull, but I have the same problem with that album.

I do like Tull a lot too, and Thick as a Brick is a great album indeed. However, I somehow feel it lacks a bit for me to consider it the prog masterpiece many claim it to be. Mainly, I think it would have done better if they hadn't forced the music into a single song album (for, even though it's two songs, it's maninly because they had to split it in the two sides of an LP, otherwise it would have been only one song). I believe it would have worked much better if they had separated some of the sections and worked them as individual tracks. Just as the version of the song on "Live Bursting Out", that one is so much more awsome than the studio section it represents, and works perfectly separated from the rest of the song.

Tull's a band that really got better and better up till they peaked in '80 or '82. While TAAB is regarded as their defining moment, I believe SFTW, HH and Stormwatch are far and away better albums and they feature my favorite line-up. A boasts a stellar band, with Jobson, Craney and Pegg stepping in but the songs aren't on the level of those of the preceding three albums.
