Momentary Lapse and Division Bell are both way above all Springsteen for me. Thanks for the video.

Great video! Here's my list of 10 crappy albums by artists I love. In no particular order. Aerosmith - Music From Another Dimension Lenny Kravitz - Baptism The Rolling Stones - Bridges to Babylon Kiss - Crazy Nights Prince - Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic Metallica - Black Album Alice Cooper - Road Pink Floyd - The Division Bell Slayer - Diabolus in Musica Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy

Great one there, I must say that I agree on most of your entries. Very interesting topic! Cheers for the rant!

Great video! I actually really like Death of A Ladies Man but that’s the only record on this list that I own. I think I listened to Black Rider many many moons ago ago but I don’t remember it. I’ve been planning on picking up the reissue that just came out a few months ago but now I’m thinking I’ll stream it first. Hope all is well. Cheers, Brian☘️

Enjoyed both your and Mazzy's vids on this topic. I'm a Lou Reed fan as well, and actually like it when Lou made some music that was catchy and spoke to his love of simple rock n roll: Growing Up...and Rock n Roll Heart are pretty great. Give it another go! :-)

I think you made a valid point on all these artists. Enjoyed the video

I love Empire Burlesque! Play it loud.

My list, in no particular order: -The Beatles-Let It Be -The Rolling Stones-Emotional Rescue -Pink Floyd-The Endless River -David Bowie-Tonight -The Kinks-Word of Mouth -R.E.M.-Around the Sun -Queen-Hot Space and The Works (tie) -Kate Bush-50 Words for Snow -Sir Elton John-A Single Man

Im glad I dont know about that Lou Reed album ! Haha Some Sun Kill Moon stuff by Mark is very good, and a few of the covers of Modest Mouse are terrific , and agreed, the early ones are the best ⚡️

I'm late to your party. Cool channel. (I may be one of the few on this planet who has got a milder opinion of "Death of a Ladies Man" - but Spector definitely was a nutcase)

I don’t disagree w your entire list except for the Leonard Cohen. Sure it’s whacky, but it friggen cool whacky

There are some of us weirdos who like The Bells.

Overnight Sensation by FZ was disappointing to me. i had every FZ & Mothers LP and that was the last one i bought. People were talking about "Dont eat the yellow snow" and i had no idea what it was! It was like Frank became the commercial success he admonished!

No!! Say it isn't so! I've been a longtime defender of 'Momentary Lapse of Reason.' Lyrically it obviously misses Roger Waters' vision, but musically I really like it. 80's production and all. But I've long been Team Gilmour. I know I'm in the minority on my defense of MLOR, though. You and Mazzy have got me interested, so I'll do one of these as well. Springsteen is my second favorite artist, so I will pick one from him. It won't be 'Human Touch,' though. I think there is one worse. Enjoyed the video!

Diamonds and Pearls album is top shelf Prince. The single 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World' around the same time is superb as well.

High On The Hog, The Band

haha. I love those two lou Reed records. oh well. I think theres some good stuff. Standing on ceremony?

Interesting choices. I may have to do one of my own.

Mazzy is trying to get me to do this. I told him I don’t own records that I don’t like. But I could come up with 10 easily that I could edit in photos of. Measured response. Well thought out. Cheers, Todd!

for me in no particular order.... - david bowie-"tonight" - r.e.m.-"around the sun" - the happy mondays-"yes, please" - U2-"no line on the horizons" - aerosmith-"just push play" - metallica - "st. anger" - van halen-"van halen III"

I unironically love every Sun Kil Moon record. It's "dad rap" by a guy who is way too self absorbed to be a dad.

"Brownsville Girl" is a fabulous song. It's in his Top 5 songs of the 80s

Tom Waits is so underrated. Its All Mixed Up by RHpainters loved in Excess Baggage.

AMLOR isn't great, but it's a much better listen than the last one with Waters, The Final Cut, which has exactly one memorable song. Seriously, I can read the tracklist and not even remember how any of them go except Not Now John.

Interesting video. Dylan is easy for me. I don't like any of it. In sticking with the topic, I'll go with The Doors Soft Parade

Cant wait to hear your picks..dont like Death of a ladies man? Growing up in public? Chaos and Disorder? Id rather listen to any of these over almost any U2 albums or most Springsteen..Its like the same thing over and over. Assembly line crap. The Tom Waits is one i bought but im not that enthused with it and im a big fan..As far as Alice i agree. The first two are crap..Had the albums back in the day..Had Lace and Whiskey also and its not great so i dont know if ill get it again on compact disc. My albums are all gone now..

It's far from his best but I like Alice Cooper's Lace and Whiskey mostly. It's very odd and theatrical in spots. My favourite cut is It's Hot Tonight, for me it's just a fun late 70's rock song. Where Alice Cooper really loses me is the late 80's hair metal period.

what do you think about these albums Ac/dc - Fly onthe wall? Kiss - Unmasked? Judas Priest - Ram it down? Queem - Hot space? Iron Maiden- Dance with Death? Pink Floyd umba guma? terrible or ok?

I think it would be easier to name artists who had excellent songs, but then you can't name anything (good) from later decades: - David Bowie: "Heroes" is a genious song from 1977. I can't think of anything from the 90s or later though. - Bob Dylan kinda gave up after the 70s, right? - Alanis Morisette? - Radiohead after the 1990s? - Aerosmieth after the 1990s? - Steven Spielberg after War of the Worlds? - George Lucas after mid 1990s?

Growing Up In Public definitely suffers from that awkward musical identity (mid-life) crisis that all those 60's guys like Lou and Neil seemed to get trapped in sooner or later, but at least the lyrics were still hilarious and entertaining. Thankfully, we got The Blue Mask w/the great Robert Quine and Fernando Saunders after that. Mistrial (1986) is for me, his worst from the 80's.

I’m not so fucking positive. Now I’ll watch ❤

I happen to like the BLACK RIDER!

Hi,my friend! What are your thiughts about Under the red Sky, by Dylan?

Totally agree about Prince. Hit and Run Part 1 is actually the album I just can't stand, but Chaos and Disorder was the first one that left me utterly disappointed. However... when he dug out the title track and played it like this in 2014... whole other story! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5N0YK6grta4nH0.html

I find with most of the performers, you named, You even have to force yourself to like what is considered their best albums. I mean come on Lou Reed, and Bruce Springsteen have brought out some of the most droll albums in history.

For Bob Dylan, I found Down in the Groove far worse than either Empire Burlesque or Knocked Out Loaded. These are definitely not masterpieces, but they have a couple of good tracks. As for Lou Reed, while I agree that Growing Up In Public is really bad, I found Mistrial absolutely abysmal, with lazy writing and shitty mid-80s overproduction. Also, sorry but I disagree on The Black Rider - I love the energy on that record, and Waits' melodies are very strong.

Love You and Me by Alice Cooper. My brother, a huge AC fan, introduced me to it. Just saying...

Love original ALICE band too!

While you're at it, you should also mention The Beatles' 'Let It Be' album!

Interesting stuff. I'm a huge Bruce fan and kind of agree with you about Human Touch, though I have to add that (and I know I'm in the tiny minority on this) but I can't stand Tunnel of Love. The usual rant is that it's this great record about what he'd been going through, relationship-wise. Sure, but the music is just incredibly bland...just uninspired, middle of the road stuff. I hated it on the first listen.

Megadeth: Countdown to Extinction Metallica: The Black Album Judas Priest: Ram it Down Misfits: The Devils Rain

Prince was never the same after he dumped "Wendy and Lisa."

Cool video and reviews This is tough task if you try to avoid bands past their prime LuLu : Reed and Metallica ( does that count as 2 ) anyway Lou stood behind this and Bowie said it was one of his best. Moonbeams and Blues-jeans Captain Beefheart I think Unconditional Guarantee has a few decent tracks, if it were anyone else in Mid 70s it might be passable not for the captain On Every Street : Dire Straits Great band until this happened Up to this point every studio record a classic , so disappointing I am looking fwd to Marks Local Hero thing ! Bob Dylan : Christmas Album I don’t even know the name Pointless Hawks and Doves : Neil Young I know he was going through personal turmoil at this time but i just warm to this I could have just as easily picked his stupid Doo Wop or Electronic albums but Hawks and Doves for me is his worst legit album Sometime in New York City John Lennon Its no a good Album Journey through The Secret Life of Plants : Stevie Wonder After his amazing run from Signed Sealed Delivered to Songs in the Key of Life And then This ? ! Thing Fish : Frank Zappa Not sure why he did this Little Village : Little Village Ry Cooder , John Hiatt , Nick Lowe & Jim Keltner I so wanted to like this album but it just doesn’t add up to the sum of its parts.

There are a lot of Lou Reed solo albums that I have a hard time getting through. So many are uneven at best, and some are just downright awful. I really dislike "The Bells". Good call on "The Black Rider". I like 'November' a bit from that one, but that's about it. I think "Knocked Out Loaded" would be my Dylan pick as well. People swear by the greatness of 'Brownsville Girl', and maybe amongst the rest of the material on the album it is a standout, but I've never fully embraced it as a classic Dylan tune. "Empire Burlesque" has really dated production, but I think it has several good songs on it. The songwriting isn't as sharp as "Infidels", but it is better than anything he did until "Oh Mercy". Could have definitely used more songs in the vein of 'Dark Eyes', but he was trying to sound relevant to the times. My only disagreement is with "Death of a Ladies' Man". I really dig that record. Yeah the production is odd, and Cohen's vocals are buried in the mix, but, again, I think there are some cool songs throughout. The only song I could do without is 'Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On'. I love 'Iodine', and the country shuffle of 'Fingerprints'. It doesn't sound like anything else in Cohen's discography, and it is kind of a bridge album between Leonard's earlier singing style and his later singing style. Since there weren't songs from that album on his Greatest Hits and early Best Of sets, I never really understood how we went from Point A material like 'Bird On A Wire' to Point B material like 'Everybody Knows'. I really like his vocals throughout "Death of a Ladies' Man". He's really loose, and he's starting to have that lived in quality to his voice, but he's not doing the talk singing thing yet. I mean, I get why folks don't like Spector's influence and how his Wall of Sound meshed with Cohen's songs, but I think it is a cool album.

Totally with you on Cohen's Death of a Ladies' Man. I own every other album by him, but I refuse to let that horrible monstrosity in my house. It's the album folks who don't like Lenny like. They can have it. On the other hand I love Waits' Black Rider. It was the first album by him I heard, not an easy entry point, but it just clicked with me. Very pleased to have the new repress. I've not watched Mazzy's video yet, I'll have to swing over and check out. Cheers - Hedley

Helen Reddy never made a bad album !

Porcupine tree. The incident. Just don't get it. Have dvd a. Never play it

You should rank the Sex Pistols albums.

2 albums by The Who, that were so bad, their likely out of print today Whos Best ? (it think its called) from 1983 with colorful British flag cover a once popular greatest hits compilation album, what I really hated about the record was how they (MCA) butcher edited and shortened the epic We Don't Get Fooled Again. The chopped version of " Fooled was even popular on Rock radio and friends and peers for about 2 years in the early 1980's, and Who's Last MCA 1983 a live concert album of their last show in Montreal Canada in December 1982. The sound quality sucked, Just a cheapo pair of microphones placed way too far away. The cheering audience sounded like a football game. I heard vintage bootleg albums sound better. A far cry from their iconic. Live At Leeds, The Kids Are Alright soundtrack.

The first Bob Dylan album that I bought was Self Portrait. What a crappy album.

Worst Elton John album "Victim of Love". Until then all his albums were an automatic must-own, not after that one. 2 albums I regret buying, so-called cult classics: "Trout Mask Replica" by Captain Beefheart and "Wee Tam & The Big Huge" by The Incredible String Band. I call them unlistenable amateurish basement noodling. Nothing memorable or redeemable.

nowhere near lou reed’s worst… nowhere near springsteen’s worst… black rider is less a real album.. just songs from the play… and death of a ladies man is not awful by any stretch. i will agree with you on lace and whiskey but that’s about it.

Couldn't even wit a couple days before ripping off Mazzy?
