Have to disagree about "People Like Us" by The Mamas and The Papas, I've listened to this countless times and i love it!

I like Humanity Hour 1. A little bloated and too glossy, but I enjoy it.

Stevie Nicks' Street Angel was a clunker, too. Her Klonopin phase

Every post trick of the tail genesis album. Sorry but even wind and wuthering was awful imo. I did like the live seconds out album though

Dude. “Change in the Weather” and “Sail Away” redeem Eye of the Zombie.

99.9% of Elvis' 60's soundtrack albums. Such classics as 'Yoga Is As Yoga Does' and 'No Room to Rumba in a Sports Car.'

My thoughts. I have been listening to Neil Young. His stinkers are Trans (computer effects way overdone), Everybody's Rocking .The Beatles- Yellow Submarine (3 new songs and a sound track) .The Rolling Stones ; a tie between Their Satanic Majesties and DirtyWork. Both are dreadful.

I was at an impressionable age when Never Let Me Down came out. Day In Day Out was in heavy rotation on Mtv and it burned into my brain being associated with some good times. Glass Spider and Day In Day Out are still in my rotation.

Hot In The Shade – absolute stinker. They didn’t have enough material for 10 songs, let alone 15. When I first listened to this release back then I thought when is this garbage going to end? One could say that this album never did rise to it and all KISS fans should have felt betrayed.
BTW every Peter Criss release was woeful, with his ‘78 solo gaining legs as we get older and wiser.
Another great vid 👏👏

Can we have great albums by usually awful artists ?

Haha. When I bought Landing on Water and loaned it to my little brother he asked me what I thought about it and, and, trying to be complimentary mumbled something like ' well, I think it's an achievement…' to which he immediately spat 'Lier!'

So maybe Geffen was right to sue Neil for not being Neil

I would like to hear C.A.R. doing, 'Great Albums by Terrible Artists'. That, I think, would be pretty damned interesting.

Landing On Water is actually not such a bad album. The songs themselves are good. The production is arguably dated, but I like the album and Neil's Geffen era in general.

Did you say fizogg? For face? My grandparents used that term for a face. I couldn't believe when you said it.

It's not great but I'd rather listen to Neil's Landing on Water than some of his latter day political rant albums. My favorite latter day album of his is Psychedelic Pill. Very underrated.

I can't really argue with your choices. Except I do like Let's Work Together, Silvio, Rank Strangers to Me and Shenandoah on Down in the Groove. The other songs are simply dreadful. And I agree for the most part about Landing on Water, especially the production and reliance on synths. But I do think there are some good songs on it, including Weight of the World, Violent Side, Bad News Beat, Touch the Night, and People on the Street. It is my favorite of the unfortunate Geffen releases. I was sympathetic to the idea of Geffen suing Young for producing such non-Neil Young albums.
