So i'm listening to Terrorvision's, How to make friends and influence people, and it is a cracking album. I think I have had it in some shape or form since it came out in 1994, and it is an album that I have never got bored of, even when my love for TOOL and other bands have eventually waned. No filler what so ever, just a great all round record. But I don't think it has ever got the pops that it deserved. Even though I couldn't give a rats ass what Rolling Stone have to say about music, it definitly deserved be on their crappy Top 500 albums list.

So, people, what do you think are underappreciated albums, and why?

The Toadies - Hell Below, Stars Above
This may be my favorite album, but with none of my favorite songs on it (if that makes any sense). I just love the way the whole thing flows together. It'll rock out one minute, then cool it down with a ballad...I dunno. Just a great album from a great band. Nobody really talks about them, though.
Richie Sambora - Stranger In This Town
I think it got a pretty decent recognition.
Not comparable to Bon Jovi, but still.

Terrorvision were a great band.
Mr Hudson's first record comes to mind.
He is making it big with Kanye this time around it would seem, but that first album is a beautifully written and produced pop record from front to back.
It's called A Tale Of Two Cities and it is easily available on Spotify, or Grooveshark or anything like that to give it a listen.
It's better than Richie Fucking sambora, Thats for sure.
Since you mentioned Kanye, if you're talking about that guy that was on that Alan Carr show with him, fuck off. Typical shit that drizzles out nowadays
Goldspot- Tally of the Yes Man
The Bravery- The Sun and the Moon

Isn't his first album though is it. It was a bit part in a Kanye song.
Just listen to the fucking record. It really is good, it's inside 40 minutes and we can talk about typical shit drizzles or any other crazy weather afterwards.
:y:
Kanye West's Bittersweet poetry was pretty awesome.

Why anyone would listen to another Limp Bizkit album after Chocolate Starfish is beyond me.

Build a bridge is my favourite Limp Bizkit song of all times.

Because it's a different animal. Anyway Chocolate Starfish wasn't all bad. Take A Look Around, My Way and Rollin' are classics.
Limp Bizkit isn't popular anymore.
I base this on the fact that they played in Poland like two months ago.
Not only that, but noone knew about it.

Actually, they played at Download and Sonisphere festivals in the UK in the last two months, and absolutely tore the house down at both. Massive crowds going crazy. So you are wrong, good sir.
Hm, than it might be just here.
When they were mad popular back in the day, the teenagers here were going batshit crazy for them, now everyone ( that even knew about their show ) was apparently like "meh".

I always felt that Zwan's album was underrated, people were expecting it to be Smashing Pumpkins Mark 2.0 (i.e. what there is now) but if you ignore the comparisons its a really good uplifting album, great for the summer and had 2 really good singles come out of it.

Zwan doing 'Number of the Beast' is sick.

Yeah, some of my non-Limp Bizkit fan mates (aka all my mates that were at Download/Sonisphere and saw Limp Bizkit play) said they were really good
