[Music] Most over-rated albums

[vegster]

As stated earlier, anything by Dylan, just don't get it and also anything by Abba, the grating nasal " Harmonies " and mispronounced English lyrics

I love Bowie, near enough from the eponymous album to Black star.

Possibly my least favourite of the Berlin trilogy is Low.
It’s okay, but, it isn’t as good as Heroes or Lodger. IMO, obviously.

It’s still a lot better than Never let me down, and Earthling, neither of which I like for different reasons.

Of his later albums, Heathen is my favourite, but, the best Bowie album is Hunky Dory, always been just about my favourite album ever.

As someone who dismissed Earthling upon its release, there’s a surprising number of tracks on it that I now number among my favourite Bowie tracks. It may have been written with collaborators, but it’s aged incredibly well. IMHO

Oh man, that's a hard position to support..... DARK Side..and Wish You Were Here are just iconic, surely?!... anyone over 50 would surely have those tracks in their heart somewhere.

I probably should have clarified that I do enjoy Pink Floyd. Wish You Here is a highlight and they've definitely influenced so many bands I really enjoy.

But I'd rather listen to those bands than Pink Floyd

Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits, they peaked with Love Over Gold
Breakfast In America - Supertramp, Crime Of The Century is their masterpiece -
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, I like a lot of Gabriel era Genesis, but never got into this album when released, and despite trying a few more times over the years, just don't enjoy this one.

BIA is quite apparently utter sh!te enjoyed by Dads before their time.
This is just an opinion.

Agree about the Lamb, I prefer “Selling England by the Pound“ but must admit I skip “The Battle of Epping Forest” as it far too wordy for me.
