For road bikes, it was a '91 Diamondback Master TG that was the most vague and dead feeling thing I have ridden ever, and despite 36h rims, it broke spokes constantly.
Just read your post after I posted. I had a 1990 DB... I literally carried spokes with me and had to call the sag wagon (my dad) regularly.
