The Velvet Underground discussion had me thinking about this a bit. There's a handful of discographies that have been tarnished by that one record that stands out as a giant misstep in an otherwise consistently great career.
I haven't finished their discography, but I've listened to most of it, and this is abysmal.
I dunno. While it is one of my least favorite Swans albums, it's really not very different from their other early records. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
I definitely considered this one. It's the only Blur release I don't love, but I always just let it slide because it's the debut.
I think if I heard Pablo Honey following Radiohead's later records I'd probably have a problem with it, but my love for Radiohead started that moment I saw the Creep video on MTV. That album still has some excellent 90s alt rock songs. I always thought it was interesting that at the same exact time, Stone Temple Pilots had a hit song named "Creep."

As for Zepp, there's also that dreadful Coda.
I thought Radiohead was destined to become one hit wonder because "Creep" was lightyears better than the rest of Pablo Honey. Yes. I'm an idiot. 🤣
I actually really, really like Coda for exactly what it is - a stellar odds & sods compilation. It's fun listening to them veer off course even more so than usual. A lot of the tracks have a great, loose feel to them. There a few clunkers, but most of the tracks are really interesting.
