^Yep. I do remember a half nice song on the A-side too but I can't remember which one.

I went with Terrapin although I don't think it was a total crap album.  Dancing In The Streets was very cringe worthy. 
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

^But you found nothing to vote for in the poll?

I'm a huge fan of 80's pop, btw. But only the good stuff.

I'd say The Lake by Mike Oldfield, a very nice often forgotten track. The rest of the album is hardly worth listening, if you're not a huge fan of 80s pop.
You love the music, the music loves you!

Ops! Fixed. I lost the first poll I made (it timed out because I spent too much time, or something), so remaking it went a lttle fast. Its their follow up I found crappy. And the only highlight is pretty much a copy of Bulerias, but an awesome one.    



Ahh snap!
Love both of those, and I actually see them as a double album sadly separated at birth. Feels very much like brothers to these ears. One of those rare cases, where I'd give each of them 4 stars but together as a whole 5.

IMHO Dancing on a Cold Wind, the follow up album to Fandangos In Space, is a far superior offering than its predecessor.

It gives me goose bumps. 

Everyone please acquire the 3 Carmen albums. They are All fantastic.

Interesting. Maybe my 3.5 & 2.5 star will end up as a 5 if I think of them as a double.

I'm tempted to say The Musical Box, but I also love Hogweed.

Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station.

I find this to be the most "progressive" song from the Dead (as defined by traditional standards).

One for me is the never mentioned Taxi Grab from Tull's worst 70s album "Too Old to Rock'n Roll......"

Taxi Grab is the standout track very very exceptional from an album that was very very ordinary.
 
I second that. My least favorite Tull album from the 70s, but in addition to "Taxi Grab", "Salamander" is a stellar acoustic song. The rest? Meh.

Oh and in relation to the Missing Piece by GG....For Nobody is my favourite GG track ever......full stop.

So there are at least 2 great songs on that album.

^I love Soon over Babaluma and Landed much as the preceding albums, and also like Flow Motion a lot. But to me the 15 minutes of Animal Waves saves Saw Delight from being throwaway.

Voted Can. Unlike many fans I do like a lot of tracks from their post-Suzuki albums.

Ha-ha. Now  3:47 that's a two star album if I ever heard one. But maybe because to me there's no such thing as a "pruduction masterpiece".

I don't know any of the others, so I guess I can't vote.
Because I love that track (but didn't find much else I enjoyed on it).

Oh, I kind of like that album, and don't mind the strings. I would be more tempted to choose Waiting For the Sun for the large amount of half assed  blues rock on Morrison Hotel, but there's a couple of more tracks I love there as well.

Emerson,Lake and Powell - Mars, The Bringer Of War
 
the only musical reason for Powell to be on that album (other than having a good initial) was a chance to give Mars a proper work out.
