Borrowing the idea from the previous poll (Doug's)...
For the fun of it, choose, post your choice, leave a comment. Tongue

Haven't heard all of these but I like Big Generator so that gets my vote.

I don't generally listen to 'bad' albums so I don't have many of these. I really don't like Gilmour - About Face at all. The Pink Floyd - More album is pretty good if you are into that era, there's a bunch of good stuff on it. That gets my vote.

The only two I really have any affection at all for are Floyd and Rush. Rush, barely, but I do actually really quite like More. I wasn’t even aware anyone thought it was a bad enough album to qualify as “not actually bad”. It’s not a particularly well known album in the Floyd discography, but I thought it was pretty well appreciated by those who do know it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

it's one of the lower rated PF albums here on PA.
One of my favorites from Pink Floyd. Smile

None of the albums in the poll I find as "bad", but many others do. Also a couple of albums in the poll have a bad reputation, undeservingly I dare say (Big Generator, Slaves and Masters).

I thought Michael Jackson was Bad, but Weird Al Yankovic is Even Worse! Tongue




By the way, am I supposed to vote for the "baddest" (ie. least favourite) album in the poll, or the album I like the most of all? Ermm

Sorry, I missed that. My favourite is David Gilmour and least favourite is Gentle Giant, obviously. Wink

I don't know all of these and those I know are OKish. More has some very good bits, and I'm wondering whether I should support Manfred Mann for his, let's say, far from diabolical album, as chances are nobody else will do that, but the most honest vote would probably go to Camel even though this isn't anywhere near great. It has Ice though.

You Can say that I want More



In other words, the Pink Floyd for me.

EDIT: And to be more suitably relevant, a favourite of mine off More: Cirrus Minor

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

^ It was Can's "I Want More", I edited to another video embed of the same song, and added a Pink Floyd.

I'm giving a spin to my old Slaves And Masters vynil, and guess what: it's not actually bad, at all . The other albums aren't bad either, but underrated maybe.

Went with Presto here. Not my favorite Rush album but defiantly had some good moments. 
 Love Available Light, wonderful little hidden gem on that album.

I find most of these enjoyable albums, although not near the masterpieces these artists are known for. My favorite is probably About Face by David Gilmour. ELPowell, Big Generator, and Presto also get regular play.
