David Lee Roth "Crazy From The Heat".
Who needs a straight cover album?
Has as much meaning as Guns 'N Roses "Spaghetti Incident".

In regards to CFTH, I can appreciate it.
I thought it really showed how unique Dave showed us a side of him that wasn't as a lead singer of a Hard Rock band, and did some standards from the American Songbook.
I don't consider it a rock record, more of a pop record. It's a fun, short little LP, intended for such purposes.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment

I love that album. California Girls is the epitome of a David Lee Roth song. the video was stellar. And Gigolo is totally fun to sing along to when drunk & at a backyard BBQ.

So you make a list of albums that you don't like and decide they're the "Worst albums in rock history"?
That doesn't work for me, especially in the case of "Animals", which has sold umpteen million copies and regularly makes it into the BEST rock albums of all time lists.
If this forum was all about people pissing on stuff they don't like, we'd be here all day.
BTW, the lyrics you seem to be talking about sound more like "Wish you were here" or "The final cut" albums.

Never Mind The Bollocks by the Sex Pistols. Total garbage and they were hack musicians who could barely play their instruments. Pure noise....
....like two cats fucking outside your bedroom window at 4:00 a.m.
Could never see the attraction to them whatsoeverComment

This just goes to show how subjective musical tastes truly are. I can see the merit in what you are saying, but for me, this album worked for the exact same reasons you disliked it. I felt at the time (and still do) that the rawness of the overall sound and playing translated into sheer power, and knocked all of my Kansas albums off the shelf. From there, there wasn't any turning back, as "Never Mind The Bollocks..." served as a gateway band, introducing me to a world far to the left (or right, depending upon how you see things) of the corporate rock I'd allowed myself to be force-fed by radio and print. Suddenly, everything else sounded boring or quaint by comparison, and I started seeking out independent record shops to find more of the noise. Of course, I didn't get an odd haircut or throw out my Skynyrd concert t-shirts. After all, this was Florida in the seventies, and I certainly didn't want to get my ass kicked.

Exactly. It's a joke album. It was not meant to be serious. Dave has always been a ham. And this album is just him hamming it up on a few tunes and sharing some laughs. Anyone who thinks it sucks is taking it way too serious. I viewed it in the same light as when the band did Happy Trails or Big Bad Bill. Just some guys fucking around and having fun. They just happened to record it & share with us.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Uh-huh. And just what sort of deep "meaning" is to be found in the WIG OUT AND JIVE! image in your sig or avatar, Steve?
Both albums are nothing more than goofs, and were not meant to be taken all that seriously. But if you actually take some effort and listen to what is going on with Roth's EP, you'll discover that a great deal of care and thought went into the arrangements, which can not be said of the GnR release.

Fuckinay! It still blows my mind when I think of all the high-caliber musicians that got together to make that EP. He wasn't just fucking around, he went for the absolute top-of-the-line.
It's got a cool vibe to it, I still play it, and I really don't feel the need to defend it....especially to someone who jacks off to Josie And The Pussycat cartoons.Comment

I will throw in Big Country's King Of Emotion. After the greatness of The Seer it was very dissapointing. If i was going to mention a Motley Crue record it would be Generation Swine.RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE
