I do not believe that Billy Joel\'s old band Attila or their self-titled album *quite* qualify for this most dubious of honours, if only because [[http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/804 the LP has its strident defenders]] and is recognised in some circles as one of the progenitors of modern heavy metal. Erlewine\'s rabid invective also oversells how oversaturated the organ is--the melodies are perfectly distinguishable, and the tone is easily matched by the likes of John Cale on The Velvet Underground\'s \

My personal opinion? It\\\'s kinda run-of-the-mill as far as songwriting goes, but the sound is unique if repetitive and there are some good riffs in there. It\\\'s worth a listen if you\\\'re curious about old heavy music or like loud, nasty organ soloing.
P.S. Also, whoever wrote that entry is hella pretentious. I mean, it sounds like a prog snob describing Half Japanese or Wolf Eyes or something.
