I fully disagree,Mr. FuzzyDude,I fully disagree...
 

Which do you imply?

As in 'I LOVE THAT ALBUM!!" or "You mean you can actually listen to that?!"



As in "I LOVE THAT ALBUM!!" 
 

Well, it's not really a BAD album. I rather like it myself. I could probably name two or three studio albums which I like less.



That's the spirit!

Gentle Giant - .......

I don't consider them as having a worst album...  every album has quality music on it and speaks to me on some level.

Genesis -- Abacab

Tull -- Under Wraps

King Crimson -- In the wake of Poseidon

Yes -- Open your Eyes

Flower Kings -- Garden of Dreams (I've never been able to get into this one, although I LOVE everything else)

Pendragon -- Believe (Very disapointed with their last entry)

Marillion --Radiation

Porcupine Tree (Deadwing -- I know, it's a favorite for a lot of people: it has great moments, -- not a bad one, but by far the weakest from their whole catalogue, which I own!)
What happened to this song we once knew so well???

- Iron Maiden - Virtual XI
Oh my god, this is freakin' crap from a band like Maiden!

- Yes - 90125
An album you can listen to, but still pretty lame from Yes.

- Metallica - Reload
I don't consider this one so horrible as people claim, but still a dull album. Why are everyone BTW dissing St. Anger that much? I find it a very OK album.

- Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse of Reason
I don't own this album, but the songs I've heard are boring.

- Megadeth - Risk
This one has got a couple of OK songs, but still a horrible album. 


Then there is Jethro Tull, YUP and Rush, but I haven't heard that much Tull, and Rush and YUP haven't got any bad albums! I own 8 Rush albums (of 18) and everyone of them are good or great, just like with YUP (with 6 of 10 albums).

Agreed.

Even the ones I didn't like at first (Power, In the Spirit of Things, Vinyl Confessions) I have since grown to at least tolerate, but Drastic Measures is one I play every couple of years just to reaffirm my dislike for any part of it.

all these albums have good noteworthy songs though.

The only things that let down Presence are -

  • It followed Physical Graffitti
  • It has no acoustic numbers and sometimes sounds a little too dark

However I feel the album is a right gem! And it has my favourite Zep track (most of the time), the 11 minute opus "Achilles last stand"

Of my favorites:

(These are not necessarily bad albums. Just the weakest from each artist/group.)

Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch or  The Man From Utopia

King Crimson - Beat

Gentle Giant - Civilian

Jethro Tull - Under Wraps

Yes - Talk

ELP - In The Hot Seat (although, at the time of release, I was more disappointed in Love Beach)

Utopia - (any studio album after Adventures In Utopia)

Spock's Beard - Octane

Echolyn - Cowboy Poems Free

Crack The Sky - Dog City

 
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

HOTSPACE!!!

Pink Floyd--Piper at the Gates of Dawn (decent album, but weakest from the Floyd)

Rush--Fly By Night.  It has a few good spots but overall not up to the standards they set later in their career.

Genesis--Foxtrot.  Its also my most recent Genesis purchase so it has head less time to sink in.

Jethro Tull--Minstrel in the Gallery although I've only heard 8 or 9 of their albums out of 30 or more.

Dream Theater--Awake.  Space-Dye Vest is absolute genius...their finest moment.  The rest fails to impress.
