Real Stinkers


There was a recent thread about consecutive great albums by your favorite artists. How about turning it on it's head? What is the WORST album by your FAVORITE artist. The one where they REALLY stunk up the joint? The one that it pained you to listen to? The one where everybody went "What were they thinking?"

I'll start off, at the risk of picking a fight - Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboys by Elton John. Except for "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", I never really cared for the rest of the album.

so a lot of people worship the stones.And keith richards is not one of the great guitarists.How do you know what Jagger wrote? ELVIS WAS GIVEN CREDIT OF WRITING MOST OF HIS SONGS WHEN IN FACT THIS WAS IN ERROR.no not bashing Elvis.If you like the stones fine,but i do not, nor do i have to by any one standard.
I for one, do not "worship" the Stones. I simply recognize their rightful place in the rock pantheon.
Regarding the legitimacy of their credits: All we have to go on, is what has been given by their publishing companies. And, what has been widely reported by the many sources who were present at the time of a their recordings. Besides, all their earlier cover versions were correctly credited to the original writers. If their credits were up for contention, we would have heard about it, a long time ago.
No one is dictating, you have to like the Stones. But, to suggest that their entire catalogue stinks, is frankly, ridiculous.
I really have to disagree about "On the Corner," that album has some of the best improv funk ever recorded.
I always felt the Stones were great because it was so simple and that has a place in music. I have never felt they were really special or some sort of rare talent, not with the writing or the playing but they made some timeless rock songs.
You can be simple, sort of unremarkable and still a huge star, and make some great music loved by millions in the bargain.
