    "Good Vibrations" is such a masterpiece that the rest of the album sounds mediocre by comparison.

    "Elecrticland" is one of my favorite Bad Company songs.......from Rough Diamonds, their worst album (of the classic Paul Rodgers era).

    Perhaps Van Morrison's Blowin' Your Mind, which includes "Brown Eyed Girl."

    Huh really? I actually really liked that album, along with The Necromancer.

    Too bad the band itself doesn't like it that much.

    I don't think this way, but I remember critic Paul Nelson hating Shot of Love, but loving Every Grain of Sand.

    The Kinks - State Of Confusion - Come Dancing. I actually like the album but I know it wasn't received that well.

    I didn't think that highly of Be-bop Deluxe's Drastic Plastic but I really liked Electrical Language.

    disagree. that album has TB Sheets which is amazing


    Shot of Love isn't really Dylans worst though is it? especially if we're including the version that has the Grooms Still Waiting...

    Lou Reed - Wild Child. The only decent song on his dreadful solo debut.

    Thankfully, 10 from 6 was released three years later.

    I like that album a lot better than some of the "classics" they had during that period, like Arthur and Muswell Hilbillies. Lots of great riffs.
