Floyd? Probably something from 'Momentary Lapse.' Not a very good album. nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #7
I love Momentary Lapse of Reason. It's not from the 70s. Enthusiast Jan 2014 #8
Obviously it's not - the production is "80's" to the extreme. And no Waters. nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #9

I'm here to tell ya, they have two bad songs:

"Carouselambra"
"Four Sticks"


Other than that, it's all greatness, in varying degrees. The Beatles, Stones, Who, and Pink Floyd have exponentially more bad songs in their catalog.

The Crunge and Benny The Bouncer are both good toons.

ETA: If you are asking what the worst song by these three groups are, I'd have a hard time answering:

Pink Floyd: Jeeze..you have whole albums not hitting on much, such as Atom Heart Mother.

ELP: Same as Pink Floyd. Nothing on Love Beach is all that hot.

Led Zeppelin:As I noted above, there are two candidates for this honor. All of their albums are great -- even Coda, which is essentially a collection of songs that didn't make it onto prior albums (as was most of Physical Graffiti). Four Sticks is, for all practical purposes, a filler song on the otherwise-completely-brilliant untitled 4th album (sometimes called "Runes" or "Zoso&quot . It is the thing that doesn't belong with the others. On their final studion album In through the Out Door, Carouselambra may rank as the worst Zep tune. It is a sort of techno-disco tune that I suspect was a partial product of Page & Bonham's constant absences from recording combined with a desire to fill time on the album so that it could be released.

FWIW, Page and Plant have both indicated that they aren't crazy about All of My Love. Fans have clearly thought otherwise.

ELP? Probably one of the "joke" tracks like "Benny." Or something from 'Love Beach.'

Zeppelin? Excluding the last two albums - which aren't completely terrible, mind you - probably "The Crunge" or "In the Light." The former is annoying as hell, the latter does nothing in particular and never seems to end (almost 9 minutes???).

But the OP was about those bands' whole catalogs, or so I thought.

Really, I can't think of any 70's Floyd that sucks, though "Welcome to the Machine" and some of the 'Wall' tracks are a little ridiculous.
