Well, these are some albums that I actually like but they get some negative reactions and are disliked by many. So, pick your poison  , laugh at my tastes, explain your choice, knock yourselves out. |

Quite a few of these I enjoy and don't get the hate for. Heritage is one of my favorite Opeth albums, so picking that. I also really like A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Hear in the Now Frontier, and Calling All Stations is the only Genesis album that I get a decent ammount of enjoyment out of. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

I don't think Falling into Infinity counts as a "worst album", but I actually went with Testament's The Ritual and the reason is simply the opening of "Electric Crown". -------------

^ It counts for some people, it's considered their weakest effort of DT by many; I was surprised. That's why it ended up in the list. That's all. |

How can anyone vote for Technical Ecstacy  ?I voted for Uriah Heep - Equator. A great band, but this one (which I have) is truly rubbish!

so you chose the one you don't like? you're supposed to choose the one you like, if any. If not, there's the last option. |

Doh, this is far too complicated for me  Yeh, I've always loved that Uriah Heep album. Truth is, I bought it twice

Torn between The Ritual and Falling Into Infinity. I'll vote for FII because I love Lines in the Sand's intro so much. Both however only have 3-4 songs that I would still listen today.

I know I´m in the minority here, but I do enjoy "Calling All Stations" quite a bit, although I wouldn´t call it a masterpiece or anything like that. Just a good solid release. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I think it's an okay album, too. I think "We Can't Dance" is a pretty good album as well.

A few of those are pretty solid, and Heritage rules, so this is an easy poll |

| I like Chameleon and Heritage about equally, but I went with the former because most people consider it easily their worst album, while I actually like a lot more than at least 2 or 3 of their other albums, if not more than that. If anything, I'd put it towards the middle of their discography. |

I´ve actually been listening to that one quite a bit lately and there are definitely some great tracks on that album, I agree. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I'd have more cats too if my cat didn't hate all other members of its species. -------------
