Artists Seemingly Incapable of Laying a Turd

Bruce Cockburn

Leonard Bernstein tried to be in jazz and did not succeed. Everything else pretty much is extremely great and inspiring including lectures.
I would assume that in his opinion Boston Pops is a turd. 

I can't think of an artist I love that hasn't laid a couple of eggs...but I'd say Vladimir Horowitz has come closest to the ideal.

Any Quartet with a lead singer named Jim Morrison.

Iris Dement, Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Patty Loveless, Jim Lauderdale, Rhonda Vincent, Ricky Skaggs, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainwright III, Leonard Cohen, Hank Williams, J.S. Bach. John Hiatt, almost ;-).

Beatles turds:
Hey Jude
I want to hold your hand

Can't think of anyone.

All my fav artists did put out some turds!!! PF with "Music from the Body" "The Final Cut" "Pros and Cons..."(I know, it could have been The Wall, but it Did Not!!)
Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Dead Can Dance, Tchaikovsky, Ligetti, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak..., all produced some "fillers" I cannot relate to. Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree made me cringe more than once, but I still consider S W being the reincarnation of PF!!! Not being able to produce a Turd means they are "serving the goodies", the prev posts lists some of them...
