IMO there are two excellent songs on MLR - 'Sorrow' and 'Yet Another Movie'.
Two more decent tracks - 'Learning to Fly' and 'One Slip'.
The rest of the album being pretty much filler.


On the Turning Away is good, and even better live on DSOT.

Camel - Remote Romance
Renaissance - Camera Camera (the whole album, I can't choose the worst track)
as Cristi says, A New Machine is the only PF track(s) that I usualy skip.

All the Yes/Anderson/ABWH songs when there are "salsa like" percussion
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I would say "Anything She Does" and "Illegal Alien" by Genesis, off the top of my head. There is much to choose from the 1980s. I don't hate the ones posted before me. In fact I like "The World Is My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum" quite a lot. It sounds much like a title I would come up for my own project.

I can't say i hate it, it's just nothing special.
A New Machine part 1 & 2 are so pointless, they bring nothing to the album, breaking its flow.

Pretty much anything from The Final Cut

for me...."The World Is My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum" by King Crimson.

Aside from the unforgivable stolen Will Smith lyric 'GET JIGGY WITH IT!', the whole track is unlistenable for me.
