ELP ~ Love Beach. This was to fulfill a contract and intentionally bad….
Another in that same aspect of fulfilling a contract was Aerosmith’s last album, Music From Another Dimension, which contained some songs that never made the cut during the 80’s & 90’s. Not a rancid album, but not good either.
I read somewhere that Mike Oldfeld made Amorok to send a message….FUCKOFFRB in Morse code.
