We all have them in our collection, the albums that we never listen to and in this case, prog albums that just standing there and collecting nothing but dust. Music is very personal so please everyone dont be to upset if your favourite album happens to be someones worst album So here we go...
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Love Beach
What happened to Emerson, Lake & Palmer here? I cant really understand why they reached this turning point in such an extreme way. The album cover gives a bad stinking hint of what to expect but the music is even more stinky than the sunburned smiling guys who are posing on a sunny beach on the cover. What I remember is that the prog is totally gone to be replaced with some radiofriendly hit music. The longer pieces is far history, on Love Beach theres 3-4 minute songs of pure slimey crap. IMO the absolute worst album released by a prog band ever.
Jethro Tull - Crest Of A Knave and Rock Island
Oh my god! The Tull guys who have done so much for prog music is now imitating Dire Straits and tends to be a hard rock band. Ian Anderson has proven with some earlier stuff that he is a musical genious. My respect was temporary gone as this time and I even sold those two albums. Never played them.
Yes - 90125
When progressive dinosaurs stands there on the stage and dancing with styled hair and clothes the same as synth pop bands in front of screaming girls...something must be totally wrong. Owner Of A Lonely Heart was a knife in the back of progressive rock...and I was bleeding and crying and I really hated that new guitarist who destroyed Yes.
GTR
Wow, a band with Steve Hacket and Steve Howe in hard times when prog was almost dead. I was really happy when I bought the album but after a few notes I realised that this was just a reminder that the prog was...dead.
Asia - Any album
They must be joking...or else Im all conserned about these guys. They stink so bad!
Ok, I really hope that I havent offended anyone but these are the worst prog albums in my album collection. ;D - Please name your worst prog albums!
