Underrated albums


rudi must stay

Recommended Posts

How anyone can put True Blue in the middle of Madonna's album releases?... but they all do. Music journalists are pretentious T.wats

 

Likewise, Lovesexy is up there with Diamonds & Pearls and just behind Purple Rain for Prince albums. Having said that I lost my virginity by playing it on my dad's car stereo on a campsite in France in the 80s as a stunning Dutch girl was passing by...

I Just Can’t Stop It by The Beat. I’ve never understood how they didn’t get as much acclaim as the other British ska bands. I suspect they were a bit too authentic compared to the pop of bands like Madness and Bad Manners, and not seen as serious like The Specials. I bought this when it came out in 1980 and still listen to that original album every now and then.

Fearless for me.

Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter.

 

Joni’s deep, mysterious venture into all sorts of stuff. Mostly it sounds like nothing she did before or after. Orchestral suite, latin percussion piece, lots of bass-driven pieces with Jaco Pastorius at his best, some glorious “quiet” songs. It doesn’t hang together well enough as an album (it’s a double) to be regarded as her best record, but it’s not far short.

It's very good - I actually meant Echoes is their finest track of all on all  their albums. Although I think Drrk Side is the finest album, the Echoes track is a half album in itself and is a superb integrated piece which I think any modern classical composer would have been proud to have written.

Bat Out Of Hell, London Calling, and Violator are hardly underrated!

They are amongst folk I know. Meatloaf generally underrated by loads of folk who saw him as bit of a joke

100% I Just Can't Stop It .

In the same year The Skids released The Absolute Game - Not widely lauded but largely genius, with some arty tracks included.

Have you perhaps mistakenly posted on the underrated album thread instead of the overrated album one?

Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby 

 

Jaysus, used to listen to this constantly when it came out, but I haven't played it in years.  Must give it a go.

All Mod Cons  - The Jam

 

 

Loved The Jam back in the day and still listen to them now. All Mod Cons was considered to be The Jam back on form after the pretty much universally slagged off This is the Modern World. I love both albums tbh. Also love the raw agression of their first album In The City.

Stayed down in London when it came out. Heard it everywhere. Was a brilliant album at the time.

Absolutely. Saw them three times myself. The Odeon supported by The Vapours, the Magnum in Irvine in 81 and then the final tour at the Playhouse in 82 when Beat Surrender was no 1.
