What was your most disappointing album purchase?


Since we have been listing “best debut albums”, I thought I might ask which albums members purchased, based upon one song, and with the expectation that other songs on the album would be good, but that album was a big disappointment.

I will start with the album by the group, Six Pence None The Richer, that had their big hit “Kiss Me”.   The rest of that album was trash!  Nothing I wanted to listen to and I found it hard to believe the same group had done the hit song.

This question might seem similar to “One Hit Wonders”, but I think it is different, as usually those groups made other music that was at least listenable.   My question refers to albums that had one listenable song, period!

Mr. Minnow 😡 don’t be mad. Everything’s topsy turvy as usual. Me topsy, you turvy.
Oh, geez, glubson with his theories of reality again.

Confucius say if song really good on one format must be a really good recording.
On a good copy you can hear the amazing piano 🎹 work by Nicky Hopkins, Billy Preston and Ian Stewart. The piano gets lost in the mix on some tracks on inferior pressings/systems. 🔙
No wonder. You guys listened to the wrong format and wrong issue. The one with the excellent sound quality is the 1994 Virgin remaster on cassette. Or CD is close second. Come on, guys, get it together. 
I don’t think it was overrated ever. I think it was underrated. It’s gotten almost as bad a rap as Their Satanic Majesties Request. If only you could hear what I hear with your ears.
Sorry but Exile on Main St. is a great Stones album. The 1994 Virgin cassette remastered by Bob Ludwig is spectacular. 🤗
Cool at the time to the counterculture? Say what?!  Have you flipped your gizzard?
