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.

Does anyone even read anything before they post? The first thing I write is:

Btw, Cyclone's one great track is a sidelong, so even I would rate it a three.

Well I would vote for Moonsongs, but that implies that I think that album is crap and I certainly don't.
 
 
I'll vote for Magma (though there are a fair number I don't know on the list)

I was hoping people voted for the song they consider the best, but its your decision of course.

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

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.

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

How about The Soft Parade? I personally love that album though, opposed to a vast majority of people's opinions. Tell All People is another great tune on that album.

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.

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.

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".

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

^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.

Glad to see no one has voted for the Carmen song as I love that album.

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.

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.

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.

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.
