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!

"Kind of Blue" Miles Davis. 

First cut on Columbia re-issue LP sounds distorted when the saxophone comes on, plus some lesser issues further on. 

This is apparently a known issue, and for some reason no one ever was able (or willing) to fix it. 
By comparison the Sony re-issued CD from decades back, somehow is masking that error, making it less noticeable.
One excuse I learned is, that it's the inadvertent spitting in the sax's mouth-piece, that was causing the 'distortion'...  Really? 🤔
