Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes -- Trash it Up Quite possibly the worst album I ever bought.
I have nowhere else to go. There is no demand in the priesthood for elderly drug addicts

Re: all time crap releases
I like Up, but most of Reveal is pretty bad and I haven't bothered to sit through Around The Sun...
BTW, the only acceptable Stones answer is Dirty Work or possibly Steel Wheels. Undercover is a lost classic, and VL, B2B and ABB are all decent to great.

those two are possibly my two favourite Stones albums post-Tattoo You I know that Dirty Work kinda sucks but I enjoy it far more than the (to me) calculated attempts at being the Stones (VL, B2B and ABB). Steel Wheels can go together with those easily, but I enjoy it slightly more. I need to give Undercover a second chance I suppose...

Supergroup my ass. Boring as hell, so boring in fact, I don't think I could even fall asleep to it.
I'm only human, though I'm super at times.

Count me in. Boring!
Looks like a bunch of little whiny fucksticks to me
Re: all time crap releases
Monsters of Folk was a disappointment no doubt, and the majority is kinda "meh" but "all time crap"? No way, it's decent but not near what they could've done.

Re: all time crap releases
Monsters of Folk is a decent album but really bogs down in the last third or so. And Zip I thought Embryonic was much better than Mystics.

And it also has Haven't Got A Clue on it, which sounds like it was written and performed by a group of five year olds.

Re: all time crap releases
the most recent issue of Rolling Stone called "Who Are You?" the worst Who song ever. I guess they forgot Athena

The minority grows.
I wouldn't call it a crap release, but it never grabbed me.

It has a few good songs. I like "Losing Your Head," "Temezcal," and the M. Ward song that goes, "Driving 'round the streets of Chicago, singing 'I Still Miss Someone,'" or something like that. Can't remember the name.
I hate hate HATE the drum tone on this album, though. They sound programmed, which, who knows, might be the case.
ain't no static on the gospel radio

Just like I couldn't diss In Through the Out Door b/c of In the Evening, I can't diss Its Hard b/c of Eminence Front.

I absolutely love Eminence Front, so I choose to pretend that it was a non-album single release. Face Dances was no masterpiece either, though Another Tricky Day kicks ass

Not forever, just for now.
Re: all time crap releases
To me Embryonic is a return to the Soft Bulletin glory days and a move away from the trite, commercial childish crap that had become the norm on Mystics and Yoshimi (to a lesser extent).

Yoshimi is my favorite. Mystics is okay. Embryonic is junk. Soft Bulletin is good by overrated
Zip I think you and I need to have a death match. We never seem to agree on anything.

Built To Last by The Dead has to be rather high up on the list I would think.

true, but a lot of the songs on that album were pretty solid live. Hell, Go to Heaven was pretty poor overall as well

Factory
Flying Nun
SST
Homestead
Postcard
Korova
IRS
Touch and Go

total agreement w/ Jack Flash here. This was the best FL record since Soft Bulletin.
