Trout Mask Replica
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
You could give this a 5 for the sheer brass balls of releasing this on the public, but, really, it gets a 1 for being shit.

Here, My Dear
Marvin Gaye
At several points it stops being sexy and veers into naff. Its an era where Marvin fancied himself just a bit too much.
