Union 5-3992 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 What are some great albums that get overlooked by an artists bigger mainstream hits. I'll start with David Bowie. The albums, Lodger, Heathen, and Reality are all fantastic records that get overlooked by some of his bigger hits 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Since i'm currently listening to Dio, I will say Dream Evil and Lock Up The Wolves. Dream Evil isn't as good as his first two solo albums, it's just slightly not as good as those two. But it's much better than Sacred Heart which came before it. The album never seems to get much mention at all. There are a number of classic Dio songs on it. The first half of Lock Up The Wolves is really good. The album loses a little momentum after the title track but the rest is still solid. Edited May 21, 2016 by J2112YYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Not only is it an underrated album, but even with some major things going against them, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes created an album that I feel is brilliant .. Classic, even Edited May 21, 2016 by Lucas 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Another album that I love, one that has never really been included in the talk of great ELO albums http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Ic7xkuMjL.jpg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 .. and rounding out my underrated trifecta, this happens to be my favorites Stones album http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0000/035/MI0000035018.jpg?partner=allrovi.com 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) About a year ago I was hipped to a group I had always wanted to check out but always dismissed as a Brit-pop curio from the 90's. Super grass. Their debut album I Should Coco is a healthy blast of youthful punk-ish energy, Beatles-esque pop smarts and pathos but their 2nd album In It For the Money is a masterpiece. Also their 5th album Road To Rouen is an absolute stunner, its very Komische and tragic but incredible. Wish they were still making music like this but Gaz Coombes has two solo albums out. Worth checking out. This track 'Late In The Day' from In It For the Money may be the greatest video every produced. Check em out.

The Cat 3 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 After releasing the massive one-two punch of "Leftoverture" & "Point of Know Return", Kansas followed up the live album "Two for the Show" with this amazing little gem, "Monolith". Every song on this record is just fantastic which makes this album, in my opinion, just as good as any Kansas album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 After releasing the massive one-two punch of "Leftoverture" & "Point of Know Return", Kansas followed up the live album "Two for the Show" with this amazing little gem, "Monolith". Every song on this record is just fantastic which makes this album, in my opinion, just as good as any Kansas album. In my opinion, his is great but the least essential Kansas album of the seventies. And the five albums that followed I think are about the same or even better. Want underrated Kansas? This deserves a mention, but In The Spirit Of Things and Power are even more undervalued. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think the guys in Aerosmith were using as well). Seriously...this is a truly underrated album, great choice mate! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
