Great Albums with one (really) naff track

Strictly subjective but for me:
The Zombies - Odyssey & Oracle - naff track “Butchers Tale: Western Front 1914”. Always seemed totally out of place on the album and really disrupted the flow.
 
Out of the Blue - ELO: naff track 'Believe Me Now' (thankfully little over a minute)
Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf: naff track 'Heaven Can Wait'.
Sheer Heart Attack - Queen: naff track 'Stone Cold Crazy'.
 
The naff Beatles tracks usually have Ringo on vocals, as a way of disguising their naffness, and are essentially just throwaway numbers. But Maxwell’s Silver Hammer took a ridiculous amount of time and effort to ‘perfect’.
 
Tim Buckley, Starsailor: Moulin Rouge. Some unusual music on that album, but this is the track that invariably prompts whoever else is in the room to look up and say, WTF are we listening to?
 
To only have 1 duff song on an album is pretty good going, we're probably already talking great albums.

Her Majesty on Abbey Road - what were they thinking?
 
Fairport Convention, A Sailor’s Life on Unhalfbricking. It goes on for ages, and marks the point at which the band moved away from Americana to British finger-in-the-ear folk music.
