Unsung albums
    #5616554 - 05/11/06 09:41 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

No, not instrumentals - but albums which are fucking brilliant but hardly heard of.

Let's here it for the unsung heroes of your album collections..

Mine:

Talking Heads: Remain in Light
When I first heard this my reaction was "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS", then I worked out what it was and was very happy indeed. I listened to this whilst watching Un Chien Andalou at the Tate Modern during my lunchbreak - The Great Curve fits really well for some reason.

Moody Blues: In Search of the Lost Chord
Okay it's a bit corny but the second half of the album is pure 60s psychedellic, soundlayering fun. Altogether "Timothy Leary's Dead, no, nooo-no he's outside..."

Hendrix: Last Rays of the New Rising Sun
Posthumous and not quite the album it would have been had Jimi lived but Dolly Dagger, Drifting, My Friend, Belly Button Window - the list of great tracks goes on.

Feel free to praise the unpraised....

Not here to praise the unpraised so much as simply say Talking Heads is the best band in all of existence and David Byrne is the one true god.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

That's a fine record but I wouldn't exactly call it unsung.

Here's some imo Laughing Stock by Talk Talk, Dinosaur Jr.'s first record, Double Bummer by Bongwater and these next few are very obscure and all great: This by Crash Worship, I Tell You Everything (Just Not Out Loud) by Sue Ann Harkey, Vinyl by Gum

and some overlooked hip hop for sure DJ Screw and UGK deserve much more recognition.

Some more... Stoner Witch by The Melvins, and Forever Changes by Love.

Good thread idea.

talib kwali, reflection eternal- one of my favorite and most meaningful albums

macklemore, the language of my world- just another fantastic, brilliant album. in fact a friend of mine who i smoke blunts with sometimes is featured on the cd, his names XPerience, he also made like 90% of the beats...great cd
