With my next pick I will fill the POP category with perhaps the most overlooked album of the 90's. One of the greatest one and done albums in music history, Denzil's Pub.
It's quite possible that this could have dropped to the last round, but I don't trust Jagger.
I wish I could say I was on this record in 1994 when it was released, but I can't. I was introduced to this album just this past year by a great friend of mine who seems to just know when I'm going to like something. He is really the one to credit as it has been in his collection for 14 years! Thanks Harv!
Pub is the only release by Denzil (Denzil Thomas) and is a wild ride through all sorts of moods and topics. The constants are Thomas' voice and his acoustic guitar playing. Why this album wasn't bigger is a mystery to me. It's great.
Here's a link to a myspace page (Thomas') with some songs that aren't on this album and haven't been released anywhere that I know of.

Youtube goodness (not enough on here obviously) if you get a chance check out the last two tracks on the record, fantastic. The videos are not the best songs on the album, although they are quite lovely!
