Real Stinkers

There was a recent thread about consecutive great albums by your favorite artists. How about turning it on it's head? What is the WORST album by your FAVORITE artist. The one where they REALLY stunk up the joint? The one that it pained you to listen to? The one where everybody went "What were they thinking?"

I'll start off, at the risk of picking a fight - Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboys by Elton John. Except for "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", I never really cared for the rest of the album.

Paul Simon - You're The One

Sappy and dull. Sounds like he was forced to write songs under a time crunch. Poor attempts at humor. I listened several times (hoping it would grow on me) and then threw it away.

Jond,
I'd disagree with Left of Cool and substitute Outbound. Left of Cool was the first disc without Howard and represents fundamentally a different band. Outbound had too many guests and lacked focus. The new double disc is going to be great though, the new stuff came off great live.

Anything by King Crimson after the "Discipline" band's trio of recordings. Fripp needs a new direction with a new group. Get a sax player at least, Bob.
