Re: Great albums and skippers.
[ QUOTE ]
I haven't seen this fairly obvious one mentioned yet, so I'll do it:
Led Zeppelin II: Moby Dick.
Live, incredible. On the record, SKIP!

Live is better - sometimes - but the studio version is still pretty kickass.
Zeppelin has bigger "misses" on later albums; the first two are basically all killer tunes.
But my pick for biggest letdown "skipper" on an otherwise stellar album is "I'll Wait" (actually a hit!) on Van Halen's 1984. The keyboards creeping into VH worked on "Jump", but "I'll Wait" was so stupid and sappy; and the keyboard solo ranks as one of Eddie's worst musical moments.
