Real Stinkers

Hmmm... a record w/ Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Badal Roy, Jack DeJohnette, Billy Hart, Colin Walcott, Dave Liebman, Bennie Maupin and Miles Davis giving their best is a real stinker?
George W. and the Downbeat two star review of On The Corner way back in the early 70's did a great job of supporting old Einstein quote that goes something like... "Two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the universe". Fortunately there are a lot of well informed listeners who understand that there is there's no such thing as a better record than On The Corner.

That doesnt make someone stupid for not thinking its great as you suggest.

AGREED. Have you ever checked out "Get Up With It?"

Remember liking Get Up With It a lot, and just ordered it...thought it was one of the darker electric period records but haven't heard it for about 30 years.
Saying you don't get it or don't like a record is one thing. Entering it in a "Real Stinker" thread is a whole 'nother deal. We've probably all noticed that poorly informed opinions can generate a pretty foul stench... anyway I guess everyone lets one out occasionally.

Jeff1225, "The best improv funk ever recorded"; Miles was supposed to be Jazz. When I heard that LP, it was the same as buying a bottle of whiskey, and tasting wine. Of course I spat it out. I took that LP back to the record store and demanded a refund, or give me the LP and send the bill to Miles. They gave me the refund.
