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.

Mdoughty,
I kinda gave up on picking up any new Bela albums after Left of Cool so I've never heard Outbound. I know the band changed composition, but that didn't necessarily mean they had to change musical direction as well. Anyway I stand by Left of Cool out of ignorance of later releases I guess.

Bela Fleck "Live Art" -- heard them live and loved them then I bought the cd and it had no live feel and was just kind of boring.
Also, Chick Corea "Childrens Songs" -- I just never connected with the music.
Fun topic. Happy New Year Everyone!

Live Art is my absolute favorite cd....different strokes I suppose.

Vapor Trails by rush would be my vote. Has to be the poorest recording I've heard among bands that usually submit stellar recordings.
