The Underrated Albums Thread

[stolat]

We'll have a special KISS club, where all four of us on the boards who are KISS fans will be SuperFriends and patrol these boards in the name of the KISS Army

Lets do it!

KISS ARMY unite

If only I still had my KISS makeup kit from Grade 2! I could do up our faces!


By the way, this album is underrated: Ego Is Not A Dirty Word - Skyhooks

[mrlee]

i think bang tangos "dancin on coals" is an under-rated album.

[Wheres Izzy]

I know I posted already but I wanted to add Buckcherry's Timebomb to the conversation. This album always gets overlooked when people talk about them it seems. I love their other two albums but I actually feel this one is their best. Not at all a fan of the ballds on it but it has their best rockers to date. "Whiskey In The Morning", "Porno Star", "Tmebomb", "Riding", "Slammin", "Fall", "Frontside"-all really fuckin awesome songs.

Hey man, you can post as many times as you'd like. I keep adding albums as I can think of them.

Here is another underrated aussie album. (Lead singer has an irish background - hence, the mask)...

Aussie rock at its finest! I've partied with these boys a few times!




The cover shows the lead singer in a black "ski mask" - the album is called "The Dark Room". The band is called "The Angels". It's from the 1980s.

Here's an underrated album by U2. Live: "Under A Blood Red Sky"

Hopefully, this album cover won't upset the sensitive people too much.....

Agreed!

I'll add Black Sabbath's "Technical Ecstasy," which nobody seems to like, but me.

[Regibold]

Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die are really great albums. It shows that even though the band, esp. Ozzy was going through the where do we fit in stage, amongst other problems in the band that they were able to be creative and finish albums the best they could. Both albums truly show signs that Iomi and Ward did in fact play the saving grace roles well enough for the Sabbath ship to stay afloat long enough until further decisions were made.

Living In The 70s (1974) - Skyhooks! Australias absolute finest!



The lead singer 'Shirl' crashed his helicopter into the side of a mountain in 2001.

Green Day - Warning

Brilliant album

[freedom78]

Dare I say, most Thin Lizzy albums belong in this thread.  Or, at least, three or four.

100% agree, phil lynott was one of the best song writers of that era i feel.

He brought us amazing guitarists too, and they developed a twin lead guitar style many bands used afterwards.

[qcmyoungwill]

Pro-Pain:
"Foul Taste of Freedom" or "The Truth Hurts"

Overkill:
"The Years of Decay"

Spinebelt:
"Beautiful Songs for Ugly Children"

And for my Funky people

Funkadelic: "Let's Take it to the Stage"

If you don't own any of these... buy them now.  Siriusly... why are you still reading this?  GO BUY THEM!

Almost all.

All from the 70s is the best thing ever.

"1965" by The Afghan Whigs.

Hell, anything by The Afghan Whigs.

[mrlee]

theres a band called love/hate lumped as "hair metal"

but they wernt, they didnt have the big hair, or make  up, t hey just wore rocker clothes.

There first 2 albums are brilliant, the first one for pure rock, the second one for its more experimental grooves.

great bass playing, drumming, guitaring, and singing.

there hit single in the UK back in 1991 "why do you think they call it dope" is awesome.

listen to it closely theres alot going on, the bass slappin n poppin a cool tune, if you listen the guitars tappin a harmonics tune all over the verse.

great talented band, under-rated to hell, sadly there later releases were post dropped by label and production spoils it.

the first under produced album is ok, after that the band you can tell has lost its original guitarist and are ruined by alcohol and drugs.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth. I'm sure that outside of the U.S. this cd was well recieved, but here hardly anyone knows it exists.

I must definitely agree with that, this album is just magnificent. Although Tirany is very heavy metal more underated is Accident of Birth, not to talk about Skunkworks which have some piece of jewels there 

Also Helloween's Master of The rings is very underrated and somehow is often told to be the weakest of their discography, I wonder if people that say that knows about Chameleon
