Those Embarassing Glitches On Flawless Careers

Speaking of The Boatman's Call, that last PJ Harvey album was a load of old cack. Mind you, so was the one before it. All good up to there, mind.

White Chalk? Eh? Lovely album! Different though.

And all the while, the mighty Toto just went from strength to strength.

I wish I knew more about Toto - Hold The Line and Roseanna are ace and Africa is one of the greatest ever, but I don't know much else about them.

MAssive Attack shouldn't really be called Masssive Attack since Tricky and Mushroom left

Mezzanine was a great album but it isn't really the same band imo (oh and everything after that was lame)
 
Actually most of the 'blots on careers' listed here are just examples of bands going into decline

The first CD on Goldies 2nd album is the best example I can think of of someone who has a great discography releasing one of the biggest piles of cack ever in the middle of being brilliant

Is that that awful indulgent 97-minute track that tries to be all operatic?

oh my god yes. it makes my ears hurt now, just to remember what it was like listening to it then :(
 
Beefheart's "Unconditionally Guaranteed" and "Bluejeans and Moonbeams" are the ones that skip to my mind. There's maybe an single's worth of good tracks on them, maximum, yet everything else studio-wise before or after is just, uhhh, amazing.
 
As a lifelong fan of the mighty Led Zeppelin, I still can't get over Jimmy Page working with David Coverdale.

Page went from referring to Coverdale as 'David Coverversion' (on account of Coverdale and Whitesnake basically, ahem, 'borrowing' much of Led Zeppelin's style and, much worse, doing it so badly, to actually making an album with Coverdale.

I just don't get that at all.

'D'Yer Mak'Er' is Led Zeppelin's cringe-inducing moment.

Even typing the title has made me wince. :(

I know he was heavily involved with their early stuff, but was Tricky ever officially a member? I thought it was just 3D, Daddy G and Mushroom.
 
Stevie Wonder - Journey through the secret life of plants...

:hmm:

I've tried to like it, really I have....
 

Not really up there with 'Electric Ladyland'. ;)

Released on one of the many 'odds and sods' albums after his death.

'I don't want to go through with this, it's really silly'. :D

I found this album gathering dust in my room during a house clean. Tried it for the first time in a year or so, and my worrrrd I can't believe I liked it so much when it came out =/

I dunno if this has already been said - Idlewild? Their last two albums have been fair dull.
 
The X Ray Spex re-formed album that they recorded in the 1990s. I wouldn't even know of its existence were it not for the fact that it's included on the budget CD I bought that has everything they recorded on it.
 
how could The Clash who once did "The Clash" ever churn out anything as bad as "Sandanista"
and what about comparing Blitz's "Voice of a Generation" to their 2nd LP?
and Upstarts "Still from the heart"
SLF's "Now Then"

I haven't heard it but i saw them at our local bikers pub with the bird out of Daisy Chainsaw singing. They acted like rockstars and waited ...and waited...and waited backstage , result being our taxi was due and we only saw 3 songs (that were a travesty)
 
also The Blood (compare the classic first Lp to the 2nd MLP)

Another example is The Cortinas - good singles but one of the worst LPs ever
