Underrated albums...

[kimota]

Basehead- Play With Toys

this one too.

[Gagneaux]

The albums by The Presidents of the United States of America.  They're simple, catchy as hell and above all: fun.

Bruce Springsteen, Nebraska. no question about it. even when critics praise this thing they still say backhanded things.

and i'm not that into springsteen. it's just good damn music.

[TL]

Here's a few:
Ramones - Halfway to Sanity
Hüsker Düde - Warehouse Songs and Stories
Thin Lizzy - Thin Lizzy, Shades of a Blue Orphanage, Vagabonds of the Western World
Kristeen Young - Orphans, X
Wire - everything after 154
Res - How I Do
Mary Timony - anything she's done, especially post-Helium
Lungfish - Love is Love (does anybody even review their records anymore?  they should...)
The Drones - Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By (New Aussie Drones, not the older Cannuk punk band)
Macca - RAM
Daft Punk - Human After All

[Wes]

Macca - RAM

Yes. I think most of 1970-1980 McCartney is underrated, but Back Seat of My Car on Ram > all.

Mary Timony - anything she's done, especially post-Helium

Yes. YES.

Macca - RAM

Yes. I think most of 1970-1980 McCartney is underrated, but Back Seat of My Car on Ram > all.

We believe that we can't be wrong.

'Handcream for a Generation' by Cornershop... Just because Fatboy Slim didn't bend the lead single out of shape, nobody was interested.

Anything by dEUS. Seriously, people, how many times do I have to say this?
Check out the new video - with someone from The Knife, and some backflips.

(Apparently, I can't link to a Youtube page without it embedding the video?)

Everyone else I know who likes The Oblivians is always lukewarm about The Oblivians Play 9 Songs With Mr Quintron, but to my mind that might be one of the greatest albums ever.

Not me.  So awesome. 

[gravy boat]

Two late, great terribly underrated bands - American Music Club (representative album: "Everclear"), and Thelonious Monster (album "Stormy Weather"). 

[Amplituden]

The Breeders Title TK.
Its not so much under rated but definetly under listened to.

[Martin]

Yall So Stupid - Van Full of Pakistans

[masterofsparks]

I was never all that crazy about the Oblivians, but their version of "Mary Lou" alone makes this, to my mind, their best album.
