What was your most disappointing album purchase?


Since we have been listing “best debut albums”, I thought I might ask which albums members purchased, based upon one song, and with the expectation that other songs on the album would be good, but that album was a big disappointment.

I will start with the album by the group, Six Pence None The Richer, that had their big hit “Kiss Me”.   The rest of that album was trash!  Nothing I wanted to listen to and I found it hard to believe the same group had done the hit song.

This question might seem similar to “One Hit Wonders”, but I think it is different, as usually those groups made other music that was at least listenable.   My question refers to albums that had one listenable song, period!

@jsd52756, haha haha . . . now that’s a bad album!

I love Steely Dan, and I have read that some members here even like this one, but their album Gaucho is a snorefest.  Sounds like very depressing funeral music to me.

A friend had Billy Ray Cyrus’ album with Achy Breaky Heart.  Even she admitted that the rest of the album was meh . . she would play the hit track on repeat and I tell you it doesn’t get better with repetition.  smh
Oh, just thought of another one . . Shania’s album “Up”.  It came in two versions, pop and country, but there was one one good track on the entire album . . Gonna Getcha Good”.  I don’t think Mutt Lange’s heart was in that one.  It wasn’t even as good as Shania’s self-titled debut album from before she met Mutt, IMHO
So many...
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
 Purchased at a booth at a T.H.E. show in 'Vegas. Sounded like a static generating machine. Really F--- Up.

Jimi Hendrix - Are you experienced. One of the endless reissues. Has an impassible vinyl bridge in one of the cuts. May be able to remove with a microscope.

Todd Rundgren - Second Wind. P.U.
