TEN TERRIBLE ALBUMS. File under BIN THERE
FOR THOSE NOT WANTING TO KNOW THE RESULT OF WHEN GENIUS GOES MISSING – LOOK AWAY NOW.
THE WHO – It’s Hard (1982):
The Worlds Greatest Rock Band become the over the hill gang.
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND – Against The Wind (1980):
After a run of three great albums formulaic does not begin to cover it.
ROD STEWART – Body Wishes (1983):
Rod the mod releases a lot of rot.
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL – Mardi Gras (1972):
John Fogerty delegates song writing duties and travesty ensues. So bad the band never recorded together again.
ELTON JOHN – Leather Jackets (1986):
Despite Watford reaching the FA Cup Final, the 80s were not a good decade for Reg.
JOE WALSH – The Confessor (1985):
Normally the life and soul, smokin’ Joe becomes the party bore.
BOB DYLAN – Knocked Out Loaded (1986):
What was he thinking putting this out? Was he thinking?
THE KINKS – Think Visual (1986):
One good song from Ray aside, a complete horror show from rock’s brothers Grimm.
BYRDS – Byrds (1973):
The original line-up reunite – not a good idea, even at the time.
ROLLING STONES – Dirty Work (1986):
The Stones close in on their 25th year alive but barely kicking.
