Bad works by great artists
By an Amazon.com customer
Metal Machine MusicMetal Machine Music by Lou Reed
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.74
This almost should not count. Lou Reed purposley made an unlistenable album just to get out of his record contract. This was a raised middle finger to his record company. Anybody that rates this cd in a favorable manner is crazy. There was never an intent to do anything artistic.
I'm in YouI'm in You by Peter Frampton
Buy used from: $24.95
How do you go from rocking guitar slinger to this wimpy, shmaltzy stuff? "I'm in you" and a Stevie Wonder cover. The title should have been called "Career Killer".
InitiationInitiation by Todd Rundgren
Buy used from: $6.43
The ultimate bait and switch. Starts out with "Real man" an excellent tune and then the rest is horrible, self indulgent garbage.
Lace and WhiskeyLace and Whiskey by Alice Cooper
Buy used from: $49.04
Just think that a few years before this he was writing "school's out". This is the start of "Vegas" Alice. He should have stuck with his original band.
St. AngerSt. Anger by Metallica
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.77
Your famous for ripping guitar solos. You are not a punk group, your a metal group. Shut up and play your guitars!
Under The Covers, Vol. 1Under The Covers, Vol. 1 by Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $5.88
You are one of the best power pop artists and you do all lame covers? What are you... Rod Stewart!?
Van Halen IIIVan Halen III by Van Halen
Buy used from: $0.01
Hey Van Halen fans, are you cursing out Sammy now?
FlashFlash by Jeff Beck
Buy used from: $1.49
So sickingly trendy, he might have posed with a mullet hairdo.
Still the Same...Great Rock Classics Of Our TimeStill the Same...Great Rock Classics Of Our Time by Rod Stewart
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.99
Honestly, almost everything you have done post 1983 is pitiful. This cd, essentially, is the anti-Christ to rock and roll. When I see the ads on TV, in all their lip synching K-Tel glory, I have to throw up.
Kilroy Was HereKilroy Was Here by Styx
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.99
Hey Tommy Shaw, how did you keep a straight face when recording this? Mr. Robotto!? Was it drugs?
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] by Rainbow
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.24
Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple for this? Grown men singing about fairies? Another bait and switch where it starts out with the terrific "Man on the Silver Mountain" and then it's all downhill from there.
TormatoTormato by Yes
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.96
STINKS, stinks, StInKs, s-t-i-n-k-s I don't know what else to say about this. "Don't Kill the Whale". Oh my god is that just plain silly. This stinks!
Dylan & The DeadDylan & The Dead by Dylan & the Dead
Buy used from: $0.38
Could this be the most boring, uneventful live recording of all time?
