Bad albums by otherwise great artists

Anonymous · 2013-02-07T11:43:28-05:00

It seems that every once in a while, musicians and bands that have already established themselves as great artists release one album that just seems qualitatively inconsistent with their otherwise strong body of work. Can you guys think of a few shitty albums released by great bands? Immediately , Queen's "Hot Space" comes to mind. I love queen but I can honestly say that, with the exception of the uncompromisingly outstanding "Under Pressure", it is the only Queen album that I dislike to any great extent

Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music wins this thread.

Honestly, I thought Port of Morrow was the best one, followed by Wincing the Night Away. I found the first two to actually be really repetitive and even bland at times. I listened to them pretty much all in one go, too, so each album was still fresh in my mind as I listened to the next ones.

How dare you.

I think there's an argument to be made for The Blue Album and Pinkerton actually being great albums by otherwise bad artists.

Indeed. Unless one doesn't rate Lou Reed very highly, but that is another debate.

I'd say "Electronic Sound" by George Harrison. An unlistenable record by a very listenable artist.
