Critics be damned!!! I love the album anyway...*

I liked this lp, It was an lp I played quite a bit in "82"

 

Stevie Wonder-Journey to the secret life of plants.
Awesome stuff

 

Iggy Pop-Blah Blah Blah

 

Critics hate most of my record collection.

 

Bat out of hell Meat Loaf! Queen Greatest Hits 1 & 2 collections !

 

I definitely think I fall out of the mainstream with some of these favorites:

Strangers In The Night - Frank Sinatra
21 At 33 - Elton John
Discovery - Electric Light Orchestra
Xanadu - Soundtrack
Emotional Rescue - The Rolling Stones
Hello I Must Be Going - Phil Collins
Batman - Prince

 

Well love might be overdoing it for me but I like Trans.
Besides that....somebody else mentioned Muscle Of Love and Sally Can't Dance - both of which I like.
The rest posted so far...no use for 'em.
Guess I must have been a critic in a past life.

 

The Knack- ROUND TRIP
The Beach Boys- L.A. (Light Album)

 

Jethro Tull, all of them.

 

The entire Zebra catalog. Call them super-derivative; call them tacky butt rock without substance-I don't care. I thought that there was a unique atmospheric subtext to their instrumentation (especially Guy's pipe-clanking, Middle Eastern drum fills), and that Randy, Felix, or both, had strong senses of melody that you just don't find in most other hard rock bands.

 

It's easier for me to find music I hate that critics seem to love, mostly because the critics never discuss my favorite groups, that is.

 

Alex Chilton - Like Flies On Sherbert
Jim Dickinson playing on and producing a rough hewn Chilton masterpiece - how could it be bad? And yet, they hate it.

 

+1

 

Dylan - Down In The Groove

I guess not only the critics hate this one
Well, it's very far from being a perfect album (and definitely not my favorite Dylan record), but that's one of the things I love about it.

I also love "Self Portrait" which I think is no critic favorite either.

 

Here's another vote for that one. Also:

Bob Dylan - Under The Red Sky

 

Tin Machine - Tin Machine.

Ahead of its time for the critics.

 

Peter Frampton - I'm In You

 

Come Taste The Band-Deep Purple

 

John Lennon - Some Time in New York City

 

Yes: Tales from topographic oceans
Pink Floyd: The Final Cut
Bob Dylan: Street-Legal; At Budokan
Genesis: Trespass
Jethro Tull: A Passion Play
King Crimson: Lizard; Islands
Captain Beefheart: Unconditionally Guaranteed (yes, I know it's weaker than rest of his LPs, but still I like it)

 

I will also add:

Ryan Adams: Love Is Hell

 

Elvis Costello's Juliet Letters. I dont even think Elvis fans really like that ne, but its one of my all time favorites.

 

+1 from me. It's genius.

+1 also for both Some Time In New York City and Trans.

 

Well then, here you go! :
