    I was cheating: it was actually a various artists album recorded live at a scientology event including performances by the ISB and others. I'm a completist but don't have a copy. I heard a bit of it at a convention once and it was pretty dire.

    12 of my favorite artists and my least fav album

    1-Beatles -help! (Half amongst their career highlights, the other half bottom of the barrel filler). Don't count yellow sub as an album.

    2-Harry Nilsson -knillssonn a few awesome return to past glory songs--especially perfect day featuring the best Nilsson vocal in years, but tracks like going down, old bones, the kinda embarrassing who done it, and the overworked opener all I think about is you fall flat.

    3-waterboys -debut. I like bits of all waterboys albums and this is no exception. A girl called Johnny was a foreshadowing of future glory. This just sounds like a debut and so a shade below the rest.

    4- bob Dylan. Easy to pick in the 80s but if I were to pick on his classic era, Nashville skyline is my least fab of his 60s work.

    5-Mickey newbury-his eye is on the sparrow. Not bad but not great and Newbury was typically great.

    6- Ryan Adams -iii/iv. Really it's iii. His weakest and most unnaturally forced since rock and roll, except it doesn't have really any redeeming tunes. IV is decent but not strong enough to make up for the tired iii disc

    7-kinks, think visual is the only kinks album without any redeeming qualities

    8-pink Floyd. More and the studio ummagumma disc are worse and I don't really count post waters era as pf (more atmospheric but bland gilmour solo to me) but wish you were here is a surprisingly bland album (I dig the title track and machine, but shine on doesn't excite me and Roy should've never been added to sing cigar).

    9- Jefferson airplane. Long john silver is pretty horrendous

    10- Todd rundgren - I don't have all...but hermit of mink hollow was a big disappointment after the awesomeness of can we still be friends

    11- Donovan- sutras--his voice is off and because of it that album suffers...of his classic period, mellow yellow just never pulls me in (I don't have any post essence to essence albums except sutras).

    12-U2-rattle and hum feels like the mish mosh it was so it's probably my least favorite.

    Gotta go with one of the myriad Beatles backing Sheridan collections.
     
  11. Brian Kelly

    Brian Kelly 1964-73 rock's best decade

    Paul McCartney: PRESS TO PLAY (it is my least favorite-I don't think it is his worst)
    John Lennon: SOMETIME IN NEW YORK CITY (least favorite and worst-unless you count the Ono/Lennon sound collages)
    George Harrison: DARK HORSE (same as above-unless you count ELECTRONIC SOUND)
    The Raspberries: SIDE 3 (still an OK album, but much weaker than other 3)
    REM: NEW ADVENTURES IN HI-FI (though "Electrolyte" is a great song)
    Moody Blues: everything after LONG DISTANCE VOYAGER
    ELO: DISCOVERY ("Shine A Little Love" was "very disco")

    I cannot put any Beatles album here unless one counts YELLOW SUBMARINE

    Let It Be - The Beatles
    * song wise it's quite strong and I love "Two Of Us",but overall it's just so dreary. Beatles For Sale at least sounds alive and is the sound of a band that's still hungry and on the rise.

    Wednesday Morning 3am - Simon & Garfunkel
    * love them but this is as dull as dishwater

    I can't even get through it. Luckily, I'm not a completist.

    Undercover is almost as bad.

    Yeah, that's a bad one.

    Although, I've never heard anything by Queen that came out after Hot Space

    I had pretty much everything by Dylan until STREET LEGAL. That album just ended my Dylan collecting.
    I felt like he had really quit trying.

    (Did pick up SHOT OF LOVE for a buck later on, but that one did nothing to lure me back.)
