Top Notch Albums not everyone knows about?

[The Scatologist]

What are some top notch Led Zep IV, VH 1, Screaming for Vengeance level albums that a big portion of rock fans have never listened to?


Brotherhood by B'z has got to be one of them.

Anyone know any others?

From the more extreme point of view, Opeth's "Deliverance" and "Damnation" albums...absolutely legendary, so far as I'm concerned. It's progressive death metal, but let me tell you something, ANYBODY can listen to this and appreciate it. Shit, all my wife can stomach is bitch rock (Alanis, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, et al), and even SHE couldn't find anything really bad to say about them...which is AMAZING, trust me... :)

[The Scatologist]

BTW, Brotherhood has Billy Sheehan playing on a lot of the tracks.

Is that you Dave ??

[Mr Badguy]

Diamond Head "The white album".

The best heavy metal album EVER IMO.

The album that influenced metallica, although they have never come anywhere close to matching its power.

The riffs of Sabbath mixed with the dynamics of Zeppelin but all original.

Buy it today and wonder how you got by so long without it.

[Stillwell]

Stranger in us All ~ Rainbow

[Shaun Ponsonby]

'You Are Here'-UFO

Haven't heard it all yet, but what I have, I have really liked.

[Steve Savicki]

Gentlemen,

I would say anything found in a bargain bin is obviously overlooked.

And there's some pretty good music in there. Such a shame most on important and Combat records probably won't get it's chance to be reissued.

Still, Megadeth's 1985 debut still displayed that Combat Records label. Is that album what keeps Combat alive LOL?

[Redballjets88]

steve vai's flexable is a good display of his talent and creative genius

[rustoffa]

:mad:

[Hoongood]

Just about anything by Black Label Society, especially the last 4.

Here's a twist, Happy Blue by Billy Squier. This is an incredible acoustic album with just Billy and his guitar.

[Soul Reaper]

Of course, how could I forget the Ozrics?!

Great band, really overlooked by the majority, but huge in the UK underground.

[Soul Reaper]

Would people say that Billy Idol is overlooked?

[ALMOSTsaved]

The debut and only album of The Flying Tigers. Great songs. Great band.

Ozric Tenatacles are very rarely reviewed, but the reviews I have seen have been good. Excellent band, very unique.
