Segue Myles Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 So here I am in my hotel room playing Foreigner's Can't Slow Down, and a thought occurred to me: This is the best studio album the band ever released, and yet no fan of this band ever seems to talk about it! Shame on everyone! So, this is a thread, not necessarily about your favourite albums, but about those special albums in your collection that either arrived during a dip in the bands popularity and saw frail album sales, or maybe even absolute stone cold masterpieces that never EVER saw just recognition. Here are three more: Khoma- The Second WaveStrangeways- Native Sons Fleetwood Mac- Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Alter Bridge- One Day Remains Really? It was very well received from what I remember. It was certified gold in the US and easily their most successful album over here. When I saw them live in 2011, the songs they did off it got the best responses.

This band should have been one of the defining bands of their era.You know, I read this opinion every now and then and I just don't hear it. They are a good band that deserves more recognition, but they come off a bit off the shelf to my ears. Decent, but ordinary. Whatever, I think Big Star should have been huge.

ReRushed Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Here's one - Big Country's Steeltown. They basically fell off the map in the U.S. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Dramarama - Vinyl A band lost in the crowd. A band with a silly name surrounded by bands with more hype. And probably a bit to retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltomortale Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yes -- The LadderThat album has been on regular rotation since I bought it...at least a decade ago. It deserves far more recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the worst Ozzy era album. It actually caused the dip in Sabbath's popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Black Sabbath "Born Again"Although Trashed is excellent most fans were very familiar with Ian Gillan when he joined and realized how out of place a lot of the lyrics and subject matter were. It didn't come across as authentic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
