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.

Orpheus,
On the Corner was made years after Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way, so Miles had alreay moved off Jazz.

About "Miles was supposed to be Jazz," you are wrong on two fronts: 1). Miles had already produced several classical albums. 2). Artists are supposed to grow.

Miles grew more than any other jazz artist, and jazz has been in decline ever since the mainstream press dismissed him.

-Even a genius like Miles Davis had to work for a couple of years to reach a level that made On The Corner possible.
-He did tell everyone what was coming by touring and releasing 5 electric albums, (three of which were double Lps) before On The Corner came out.

Jeff1225, could you enlighten me in regard to the several classical albums Miles produced.

Remember, all music is subjective, and "On the Corner" is the worst album Miles ever put out, as far as I am concerned.
