Greatest gem from a crap album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

How did Moonsongs get in this poll??
I don't know any of the others, so I guess I can't vote.

Just thought of one -- "All I Want is You", the leadoff track on LOVE BEACH is really nice (and only about 2 minutes long), but I can't handle much more from that album for very long.

In the Beginning from FGTR, although I don't classify the album as "crap" this is just about the only song I can make it through. Big smile

Voted for Hawkwind, even though the whole album is great.

True, but you also said:

I wouldn't call Alphataurus and Cyclone crap, they are both solid fours in my book. Voted for Madrigal Meridian, still in my top 10 of TD tracks.

As far as Drama can be counted among the crap albums (a matter of doubt to me), Does It Really Happen would be a good candidate as well.

^Its mainly the vocals that ruins it for me, though.

Mellow Candle and Hawkwind's Self Titled are hardly crap albums....

This may in fact be the first time I didn't vote for Magma in a poll. (Which isn't to say I don't like the Magma song included here.)

Another one where the album is rather meh, but holds a bonechillingly beautiful track, is The Enid's The Seed and the Sower. Last track Reverberations is by far my fave from the group and it is just so much better than everything else on the album. Damn I gotta go listen to it now!

Because I found them dead cheap I used to own both of Enid's two first albums. Didn't like any of them at all. Still worth investigating you think?

From your list I voted Tangerine Dream's effort. My own top three would be:

Yes - Machine Messiah - Drama

Gentle Giant - Memories of old days - The Missing piece

Spock's Beard - The light - The light

Considered the two first, but dropped Machine Messiah based on quite enjoying most of Drama. And ditched Memories...because when I relistened to it I understood that while its my favorite song on The Missing Piece I still couldn't think of any track on Gentle Giant's first eight albums I didn't love more (except The Queen).
