kodiakblair Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Almost everything sold in the Britannia Record club catalogue. Music for the same folks that bought books by the yard. Quote
Roland Rock Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Haha, that's several of my favourite albums trashed already! I'm going to have to say Harvest by Neil Young Quote
T-Bay Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Not sure it counts at critically acclaimed, but loads of Iron Maiden fans seem to like Powerslave but it's the only album of theirs that I can't find anything I like on. Very samey and nothing original to me. And at risk of being hung drawn and quartered, most Beatles albums. They just don't do anything for me. Quote
lowdown Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Haha...easy for me. The Sex Pistols and their load of ol' Gollox. Edited January 17, 2017 by lowdown Quote
Mykesbass Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Derek & the Dominos, Layla & Other Assorted Lovesongs - Layla has got to be one of the worst "classics" of them all! Quote
joeystrange Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The Holy Bible. Both the Manic Street Preachers album and the book. Quote
julesb Posted January 17, 2017 Author Posted January 17, 2017 [quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1484690331' post='3217628'] The Holy Bible. Both the Manic Street Preachers album and the book. [/quote] Totally agree Quote
interpol52 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The Verve - Urban Hymns. Most Richard Ashcroft stuff I find dreary and dull. I don't know why he sings in that American accent. Quote
PaulWarning Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 wouldn't say it's crap but probably my least favourite Beatles LP Sgt Peppers Quote
ras52 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1484691082' post='3217641'] wouldn't say it's crap but probably my least favourite Beatles LP Sgt Peppers [/quote] Beat me to it! I understand how it was revolutionary at the time, but it sounds a bit sterile compared to their other late-period albums. Edit: IMO. Edited January 17, 2017 by ras52 Quote
BrunoBass Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) To qualify my earlier post: I always used to look at those '100 Greatest Albums' lists that the likes of Q used to publish (they may still do for all I know, I avoid Q these days...) and used to pride myself on my familiarity and / or ownership of the majority of the albums in the list. If there were any i didn't know I would buy them and see why they were considered great. I discovered some great albums that I mightn't have heard otherwise (Catch A Fire, Bitches Brew, Marquee Moon) but also some that I found nothing to enjoy about, like Astral Weeks, which I found utterly impenetrable. I never cared for Pet Sounds much either, other than God Only Knows. Edited January 17, 2017 by PaulGibsonBass Quote
Funky Dunky Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd bore me rigid, apart from a couple of songs. Gilmour is an excellent guitarist, though. Quote

kodiakblair Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Same here Dunky. Seemed like it every time I went for a teenth it was playing Quote
xgsjx Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Anything that's been given "critical acclaim". Quote
timmo Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Graceland by Paul Simon. Got to be one of the worst albums by a serious artist. I still switch the radio off if You Can Call Me Al comes on Quote
miles'tone Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Radiohead - Okey dokey Karaoke or whatever it's called. Quote
chriswareham Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Radiohead for me as well. Thom Yorke's voice is an irritating whine and the music shows an utter lack of ideas. Quote
