Under-rated Albums

[binnie]

Ok guys had an idea.

How about a threadf where we list those little gems that only we know about, you know bands/ albums that you really dig but no-one else has heard of or gives a shit about.

Here are some off the top of my head:

The Almighty "Crank"

Refused "The Shape of Punk to Come"

Skid Row "Subhuman Race" (not a great record for this band, but killer nonetheless. Sometimes band go out of what you expect from them but still make a good record)

Crowbar "Odd Fellows Rest" (IMO their strongest record)

1st Vain record

Ted Nugent "Free for All"

Love/Hate "Blackout" (This is a forgotten gem)

Salty Dog "Salty Dog"

Badlands "Badlands"


Anyone else got some hidden classics?

[knerken]

AC/DC Powerage is the most underrated album ever. A great bluesinspired rock n roll album that is always overseen compared to HIghway To Hell and Back in Black.

[binnie]

Absolutely my friend,

Powerage is my fav AC/DC album, always has been.

"Up to my neck in you" is amazing.

Bon Scot's finest hour

[binnie]

just thought of another

Kerbdog, "On the Turn"

Outstanding

[Mr. Vengeance]

Well....we've had this thread many mnay times before and I'll list the same albums I always do:

Kings Of The Sun- Self Titled
Faster Pussycat- self titled
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction- Tattoed Beat Messiah
Paw- Dragline

To name but three....

[flappo]

FORD, you rock for including all of these albums on here!!!!

[Gary Cherone]

what do they sound like?

[binnie]

Anything by Corrosion of Conformity is underated, awseome band!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Just about every UFO album
Good call on "Powerage"
"Queen II"
"Hearts of Stone" and "Better Days" by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (see sig)
Pre-1987 Whitesnake
The Best of Rolf Harris

[ULTRAMAN VH]

Loudness-Thunder In The East

[m_dixon1984]

My usual addition: Pride And Glory, a most excellent Zakk Wylde project/album. Book Of Shadows by Zakk is also very good.

The Tea Party, from Canada, has a number of good albums but Edges Of Twilight would be the one I recommend most.

Love Powerage and agree that it's underated.

M

[binnie]

'yep that Pride & Glory album is killer, saw 'em at Donnigton way back when, (94 I think) and Zakk was amazing, one of the best players I've ever seen.

good call on UFO

[Shaun Ponsonby]

What about old Rolf?

[binnie]

Ha Ha

Sorry, but I think not.

[binnie]

Also, both the "Down" albums are underated

Awesome band.

I don't know about underated, but I think Kyuss deserve to be more popular than they are.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

How dare you. You gotta love his versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven.

[binnie]

Nope

Not a big fan of 'novelty' music.

But I'm glad you like him.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I don't really, it was my sarcastic snse of humour.

[Jack68]

Shit this is easy i got 3 quick ones..
1.Blow your face out(live)J Geils Band
2.To the Bone-the Kinks(live and unplugged somewhat.)
3.Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros-Streetcore-shame this fucker had to die @ 50."Redemption songs."
Oh wait 2 more..
1.Down to Earth-Rainbow-Graham fuckin bonnet was great for his 2 minutes.Cmon just for all night long and since youve been gone its worth it.
2.Elvis Presley-the alternative aloha-sounds much better then the horseshit sattelite show and Presley is clearly not "jonesing"" out of his jumpsuit @ this dress rehearsal i think the day of the show.Spectacular versions of What now my love and suspicious minds.

[DeadOrAlive]

Of course! How could I forget Spaghetti? One of my favourite albums of all time! Much better than the Illusion crap..

[Shaun Ponsonby]

An obvious one we're all forgetting...

"DLR BAND"

[binnie]

Hell yeah, goes without saying
