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.

Jagger can not sing-only real musician in the band is roy wood.Any amatuer high school band can learn to play a stones song in one afternoon.And none of the band members have a personality.

I will second St. Anger. Counting Crows folow up to "August and everything after" is funny in that everything after sorta really sucked!

Energiser, "none of the band members have any personality"?!?!? Are we talking about the same band?
Learning to play a song, and actually writing it, are two completely different things. A child can be taught to play Beethoven. Does that make them his equal?
Mick Jagger is one of the best rock frontmen in the business. Whether you like his voice or not, is subjective. He's also a wry lyricist, and an excellent harmonica player. Not to mention, a great businessman.
The four albums I mentioned, are widely lauded as classics. There is a reason for this.
