Ugly was a cracking tune.

Be Here Now has sold about 8 million copies, is not that good and has no place in this thread.

Absolute nonsense. It defo belongs in this thread.

 "It's the sound of 5 men in a studio, on coke, not giving a fuck. There's no bass to it at all, don't know where that went. The songs are too long and the lyrics are shit and for every millisecond Liam is not singing, there's a guitar riff there in a Wayne's World style."

Im sure its not the only album made in a studio by a band off their heads on coke. Im quite aware that Noel doesnt like it. I do and which makes it in my opinion an underrated album. Nob.

Mudhoney - Tomorrow Hit Today.  Probably their best for Warners following the rubbish Piece of Cake and the okay My Brother the Cow. 

 

Pond - Eponymous debut LP.  Been hammering this recently.  What a record!  The third LP "Rock Collection" is also excellent.  The middle one (The Practice of Joy Before Death) isn't as good as either.

 

The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine.  Only one duff track on this.

[rubble-rouser]

Kingmaker - To hell with Humdrum

 

Bluetones - Expecting to Fly

[Kemlyn King]

The Magical World Of The Strands is possibly my favourite album of all time.

Rated by anyone who knows it. Not enough people know it.

Mick Head is a genius.

You are under rating HMS Fable there.

The King of Limbs by Radiohead

Good call. It sort of got panned but it has some of their best work ever on it.

 

2+2=5

Where I end and you begin

There there

Wolf at the door

All top notch tracks

If were talking about underrated by famous bands The Velvet Undergrounds Loaded has to be up there, that's them at their peak. Biograph is an incredible record by Dylan and the best Stooges record is Raw Power although everyone goes on about Fun house. Trompe Le monde is a great record as well by the Pixies that seemed to be panned on release. 

[ZonkoVille77]

A Northern Soul by The Verve.

IMO much better than anything else they've ever produced.

 

Afterlight by Clayhill. Just good nice easy listening pop that you can't help admire.

Agreed. It is a go to favourite of mine when I've been on the JD

The La Scala concert of Keith Jarrett. People only ever seem to be talking about Köln, which is great as well of course.

Janis Ian - Between the Lines

 

(OK, it was nominated for a Grammy and it's the most highly-rated Janis Ian album, but it's still not as well remembered as it deserves to be.)
