Bloody hell Rob, not many left to choose!!!

If I had to choose one it would have to be Skidrow - Subhuman Race. I just remember staring blankly at the stereo!!!

could have been a superb "skidrow ballad" but spoilt by the uneccessary "change in musical direction". Can't help thinking they wanted to become Pantera-esque. Ironic, when you consider Pantera were initially a hair metal band!!!

I love Queen, but the Hot Space/The Game era kinda lost me (although there are some individual belters on there).

Any of the latter Oasis just went straight over my head too - theyd lost their anger by then.

War Child by Jethro Tull - truly awful
Chinatown by Thin Lizzy - well, most of it.
In Your Honour by The Foo Fighters - not one, but two dreadful discs.
Just about everything after Going for The One by YES
Spectres by Blue Oyster Cult - even I have to draw the line somewhere!
Young Blood by UFO
Everrything after PUMP by Aerosmith, especially Pink and I Don't Want To miss a Thing

@La Bam - hot space... doesn't even get a mention in documentaries that one!! Well and truly swept under the carpet!!
@AYP -Pink!!! Why do they play it to death on Rock RAdio, agreed, fkin dreadfull! Dont Want to Miss a Thing... the wedding song....

Yeh, just 2 odd albums - production is totally different, the majority of songs on there just dont suit the band.

Back to form with The Works and A Kind of Magic.

Judas Priest are my favourite band. But they're comeback album Angel of Retribution was such a dog! with barely a listenable track...check out the hilarious closing plodder 'Lochness' if you dare! .. Priest have done some dodgy tunes in their time.....but I still love 'em!

well i wouldnt say they were dreadful but following on from the led zep themes i think presence and in through the out door kind of proved that zep had gone the distance and hadnt much more to offer. i still like the albums but think they peaked with physical graffiti :)

Definitely Hot Space. Queen are my favourite band but that album is utter shite.

Oh - and anything Terrorvision did after Regular Urban Survivors.

And Extreme's last album - very disappointing.

@ Mick Green - Terrorvision, bang on...

Never really liked Extreme so can'tcomment on it.

Blur - The Great Escape. The album that handed the crown to the mono-browed burnage boys... albiet in the short term.

Kraftwerk - Electric Cafe. Five years late and barely 30 seconds of melody on the album, the rest is monotonous sampled beats and weird piggy grunting noises. For a band that prided themselves on being cutting edge and innovative, YMO did this sort of stuff a million times better over half a decade before on Technodelic. I'll not even mention "The Mix"!

A special mention must also go to all Pink Floyd after The Wall. In my opinion it embodies all I dislike about the Floyd and none of what I like.

In no particular order.....

Yes: Union. Rick Wakeman once called this CD Onion as it always made him cry ;-)

Pink Floyd: The Final Cut: The Wall Outakes.....

Rush: Vapour Trails Just dont like it and I have so tried to get into it.

Deep Purple: Who Do We Think We Are...Should have been called What Do We Think We Are Doing

Rainbow: Long Live Rock And Roll. mind you any album after Rising was going to be crap ;-)

Genesis:..... Erm none they are all superb ;-)

Best wishes

@ Rob. Pop was a top U2 album.

The latest U2 album "No line on the horizon" however is DONK.and im a big U2 fan.Should i admit that on here?lol

Also Iron Maidens latest Album is Double Donk.

laters. :-)

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug
Coldplay - Last album (is it viva la vida and death and all is friends)
Stereophonics - Keep calm and carry on
Verve - Forth

I have to disagree with Be here now by oasis. It always gets a load of stick but for some reason I quite like it, its got some fuckin beltin tunes on it. "Fade in-out" with Mr Johnny Depp on slide guitar. Fookin class. Infact Im gonna bang it on now haha
