Least Favorite Album

Which album do you consider you're least favorite or least played album ?

For me it's a no-brainer: Beach House.
This one is way at the bottom of the deck for me. I will play it once or twice a year, just to make all the other albums more appreciated.

Not counting his first two albums (High Cumberland Jubilee and Down To Earth) or soundtracks, I would have to say it is a toss-up between Barometer Soup and Far Side Of The World. Even then, they have both grown on me and I enjoy them more now than when they were first released.

Beach House for me.
When I first became a Parrothead, I bought the yellow album, next Feeding Frenzy, then the box set followed by Beach House.
It was quite a let down to me, especially after cutting my teeth on older classics.

LTC I do like several tracks though, just not crazy about the "Guests".

Beach House followed closely by TTWWY, but there's a CD stuck in my car so I can't play TTWWY to give it a serious chance...

Beach House on the Moon although Gumbo is a great song.

Hot Water. It seems Jimmy was trying to re-invent himself during this period, and the invention went wrong. Then again it was the 80's, just about everything in music was "wrong" then.

Riddles In The Sand, most of the songs are just too darn depressing

I actually have favorite songs on each of the albums. I have burned CDs with just my favs that I play a lot. My sweet son loaded all 48? of the CDs into my laptop, so I can play those when the mood hits me.

Oh...which album do I play the least???? probably Yellow

Hmmm . . . I rarely play the CDs anymore as I've uploaded all of them to my Dell Jukebox.

I think the CD I was most dissappointed in would be Hot Water. I had, ahem, accessed some files online and loved Smart Woman. When I started collecting CDs, Hot Water was an early aquisition, along with his early classics. I had so much hope. I was so let down.

There are a few good songs, Smart Woman, Prince of Tides, Great Heart, That's What Living is to Me, but I expected so much more.

Then again, I don't have Beach House yet, and I guess there's a reason why.

Its so strange to see people's different taste on the same artist. To me Barometer Soup is one of my favorites. I also liked FSOTW, most of them anyway.

Least favorite...I don't know. Can easily pick least favorite songs, but a whole album. That's tough.

It's hard to have a least favorite for me, because there are songs on every album that I like. The ones I listen to least only fall into that category because they are cassettes that I haven't replaced yet. I'd have to say SYKBH, but at this point, I don't even consider that an album anymore, it's that far off my radar.
