underated in what way? (oh, please do excuse my ignorance, because i do believe that this thread is built on personal opinion)

'cos, dark side of the moon, and physical graffiti, was NOT underated.\

people saw them for what they were.

fuck this 'the wall' shit. they knew where 'it was at'

but obviously we're not 'feeling' it.

shit nigguh.

All Kreator albums are underrated !

PLEASURE TO KILL!!!!!

there is many thrash bands from back in the day that should be as popular say slayer and metallica.

Then again alot fo the bands back then are still in the underground which is actually for the best and the fans are very loyal and dedicated aswell.

U2 - Boy

The Adverts - Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts

Josephine - This Is Not An Adverisment

John Cale - Fear

Not in any order and not even ten!

I LOVED Galaxie 500 (saw them twice). One of my biggest thrills was singing onstage in Boston with Damon Krukowski, and being on an album with Damon & Naomi.

'Hats' by The Blue Nile.

I'm not actually going to bother with a top ten, I'd rather focus all my typing energy on preaching just how horribly overlooked this album is, as indeed is this band's entire output. Do yourself and favour and go and get it in Fopp* for a fiver, go home to a darkened room, pour a glass of wine, and marvel**. I promise not to say 'I told you so'. :D

(*Not just available in Fopp of course, but that's probably where it's cheapest.)

(**Does not apply to the handful of people who do have it.)

40 OZ to Freedom by Sublime is hugely underated. Infact the entire band is looked over just because people assume that because they have a "ska-punk" sound on some songs that they sound like Less Than Jake or some other nonsense. They are so much more however, they do Reggae,Dub,Dancehall,Rock and Roll,Punk..... and Bradley Nowell can play the guitar like nobody's business.

Oh....and further to previous comments, Generation Terrorists is the most underated (and best) Manics album in my opinion.

album of the year by faith no more (someone already mentioned it and i must agree)

beautiful garbage by garbage(i know next to no one who likes this album...but its a fucking pop masterpiece i tells ya)

hours by bowie

funhouse by iggy and the stooges (forever unfairly overshadowed by raw power)

for that matter beat em up by iggy pop was a really good album to

im sure theres more...but uh brain freeze....

looking through my collection today i noticed a couple more..."The Menace" By Elastica, "Second Coming" by Stone Roses (both long awaited follow up albums were the bands just suprised everyone but people were scared to accept the change) and Janes Addictions's self tittled debut is classic...I prefer it to "Ritual.."

That's actually true. My previous post was unfair on them. They might not be musically fantastic, but in a world that's full of horrible, sad, depressing and dull "Emo", it's good to know people are still making fun music.
