I generally agree, a tepid album overall–especially coming after Express which I always include on any “perfect album” list.
I didn’t understand or listen to much of the new music categories after disco. I still liked some of the new hard rock bands that got labeled arena rock.
That was mirrored by my album purchases. I bought fewer albums after college. I started reading reviews in audio magazines before buying a new band’s album.
I had too many dusty albums on the shelf. 
I was meaning to look up the album to see what else was on there, as I thought I recalled liking quite a bit of it. Actually thought Heart of Glass one of the weaker songs.
I remember my roommate in college and me arguing Debbie Harry vs Chrissie Hynde…
Now I’m happy at what I expect to be my ear worm: “I’m gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha”! 
This is wrong in so many ways…
OK, we need to clarify. There were musical movements called ‘punk’ in both the US and the UK.
But the two had very little in common.
The US side, as I understand it, was somewhat of a theatrical thing, and the bands could generally play quite well.
On the UK side it was more about social disaffection rather than music. Many of the UK ‘punk’ bands at the local pub level hardly knew which way up to hold their intruments, let alone play them.
I’m a huge fan of Frank Zappa, so many years ago I bought the album Cruising with Ruben & the Jets. Loved the first song (Cheap Thrills). Was eager to hear the rest, only do discover they were all slow, greasy, 1950s-style, doo-wop songs.
Brain Salad Surgery is just terrible, I agree. Like dimwitted Jock Prog, among a sea of excellent Prog Rock c. 1968 - 1976.
I thought that I would enjoy The Tractors (1994) more than I do. “Baby Likes to Rock It” is fine (and the video is fun), but the rest of the album is not my cup of tea.
And I might have added Billy Joel’s The Bridge (1986), but I can’t decide if I really like “A Matter of Trust” all that much. Hmmm… Nah. It’s The Tractors.
I have roughly a gazillion albums with only one good song, but the first one that came to mind is the legendary album by Max Frost and the Troopers that featured Shape of Things To Come", from the movie Wild In The Streets, a 1960s alleged counterculture cult classic that starred Christopher Jones, Hal Holbrook and 
Shelley Winters.**
The movie was fairly terrible, the album worse, and its stereo mixing for the “hit” song Shape of Things To Come grotesquely amateurish. But I like the song anyway.
*“The Shape of Things To Come” was the title of a sci-fi novel written by H.G. Wells in the 1930s.
**There is no movie that can’t be substantially ruined by Shelley Winters in her latter stages.
I heard this great song today, and its lyrics are surprisingly deep. I do remember buying the album, and this was the only good song on it.
They did release another single, and the B-side was a remake of the then-recent #1 hit by Van Halen, “Jump.”
All Right Now by Free.
The title song is a great rocker (though “move before they change the parking rates” is an awful lyric). The rest are undistinguished blues numbers that sound pretty much the same.
The first Columbia album for Pacific Gas and Electric has nothing memorable.
Roomie says that the only song she can stand on Lipps, Inc debut album, Mouth To Mouth, is “Funkytown”, and I’m a gonna agree with her.
Sure. There are several CDs I purchased when younger that I don’t listen to much now. Some only had one good song at their best. Most are from bands not that well known today by people not my age.
That’s a pretty good one. I actually do own that album, and have only ever enjoyed American Pie and (occasionally), Vincent. But I think that since Vincent actually is a pretty good song, I can’t say it fully meets the OP for me.
I was (am?) a pretty big Pearl Jam fan, so I bought all of their albums until their self-titled 2006 album. I’m pretty sure I only really like one song off of Riot Act (“I Am Mine”, and I wouldn’t say I really like that song).
I’m sure I have lots of albums from the mid-90s grunge era that have one (or zero) good songs on them. I’m thinking things like Lemon Parade by Tonic, or Blind Melon. That was the days of hearing a banger on the radio and rushing over to Best Buy to buy the album, then being disappointed that either (a) everything else on the album was different or (b) everything else on the album was the same but worse.
I have (or had) an album by Squirrel Nut Zippers. The only song I really liked on it was Hell.
Oh yeah, I had that one too! And Reel Big Fish’s Turn the Radio Off of which I’m pretty sure I only ever listened to Track 1 (“Sell Out”) on loop.
Nobody liked “Everybody Loves Me”?
