Albums with ONE absolute stinker of a track on them ?

Electric Ladyland - Little Miss Strange, the token Noel Redding song which always has me reaching for the skip button.

I'd say the same about She's So Fine on Axis: Bold As Love as well, but that also has the equally skippable spoof interview about aliens as the first track.

I've always liked 'She's So Fine'.

I also like 'Octopuses Garden'!

Whatever the album is that has "Lady In Red" on it!

If ever one song ended a music career, great choice

TBH he was on borrowed time anyway after "A Spaceman Came Travelling"

Dire Straits - Making Movies. An otherwise great album is marred by the excruciating Les Boys... thankfully the last track. Knopfler does cabaret style camp. No thanks mate!

I used to hate that too, but I've actually grown to like it.

D’yer Maker is the only song off it I listen to with any regularity. Over the Hills and Far Away I remember fondly. I generally have a love-hate thing going with Led Zep though, even the songs I like I usually feel should have been edited down. 

My choice for Zeppelin would be the aptly-named The Lemon Song. It is...

I'm not a fan of Anyone's Daughter on Deep Purple's Fireball either.

Illegal Alien on Genesis' 'shapes' album is another one. Why it's on there and In The Air Tonight was rejected and ended up on Collins' solo album, I have no idea.

Yazoo - I Before E Except After C on the original vinyl version of Upstairs At Erics's. I think it's meant to be abstract experimentalism or something, but it's just irritating. Thankfully someone else thought so and it isn't on the CD re-release.

The lemon song is one of my favourites!

Is there a Beatles album on which there are no stinkers? I cant think of one where i dont have to skip at least one  track. To be fair the rest of the tracks are always above average lol

"Wish Them Well" of Clockwork Angels is a duff track.

I think Rush agree, because I saw them on that tour and they didn't play that song.

The rest of the album is their best work since Moving Pictures.

I agree about it being a duff track, just doesn't sit right with the rest of the album. I believe they played it on the North American leg, it appears on the live album from that tour.

All of them. I rarely even skip Bungalow Bill, and that's probably my least favourite Beatles song.

Another vote for My World on Use Your Illusion 2.

Totally at odds with the rest of the album and you get the impression the band allowed Axl to stick it on there for fear of him throwing another massive tantrum...

Big Balls from Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. I really can't stand it.
My World from Use Your Illusion II.

I think this is a good album, which includes good stuff but also anodyne stuff, as it were. And then there's My World, which is massive shite. Why did they do it? Were they stone mental? Nunogilberto might be right: Axl Rose's tantrums might have been worse than this utter piece of turd called My World.

Rust in Peace by Megadeth is a supreme work of art. But it includes Dawn Patrol.

viz

Love Secrets on Passion and Warfare

Soundgarden's Superunknown will always be one of my favourite albums but 'half' is rubbish
