Worst sounding album in your collection

[Smokey]

I nominate Springsteen's Nebraska album, which lived in Bruce's coat pocket (without a case) as a rough 4-track demo cassette for months before it was mastered as the "final mix". Technically awful, but it somehow still sounds like it's supposed to.

Coming off heel of The River album. this album must've been most participated and yet the most disappointed album. And sound quality probably was the main reason.

I have several live albums that sound.....LIVE in the room.

I always think of live albums as something of an afterthought. I mean would you buy live album if studio version did not sound good (except may be Peter Framptons).
