Best Thing About the Worst Album by 11 Classic Prog Rock Bands

Here is the best thing about the worst album by 11 classic prog rock bands!

Look, most bands get worse as time goes on (especially if they’ve been at it for a long time), and many classic progressive rock artists fall into that camp. Even if they manage to put out a solid record after several decades, said record is probably still lacking compared to the greatness of the group’s earliest sets.

As the saying goes, though, every black cloud has a silver lining, and that’s certainly true for the worst efforts from our favorite vintage genre acts (including Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Camel and Pink Floyd).

In many cases, yes, these collections are outright terrible; however, it’s important to remember that “worst” doesn’t inherently mean “bad.” Rather, it just means that it’s the least worthwhile in terms of a ranking (so if you have three tasty pieces of pizza and one is inevitably your third-favorite, it’s the worst one).

Indeed, there’s something commendable about the following creative slumps, whether it’s a standout song, a sleek sound or something about the band in a broader sense.
