Default Most Underrated Album

Well might as well keep with the theme... Whats your pick for most underrated album? I'm not talking critical gems that everyone loves now that just didn't happen to sell very well. I'm talking albums you love that no one else knows about.

I'm going to get flack for this but here is my pick:



All but two of the 15 songs on here are still in my regular rotation. I wasn't expecting much when I started listening to it and was kind of just hoping for a song or two to be good enough to put in my itunes. It was a commercial bomb, mainly because the worst song on the whole cd was chosen as the lead single, so I definitely think it's my most under rated album.

Definitely a lot different than his work with the Black Eyed Peas. More "Where is the Love" and less "Boom Boom Pow"

My favorites:









Some where out there is a version of this song with Michael Jackson on vocals as that's who the song was originally intended for.

Shad- The Old Prince....you know what, his whole damn discography is underrated. And people say Drake is the best rapper from Canada...

I loved DOA and the Dead Kennedys back in the day and this record is arguably better than anything they did separately. The politics are a little dated, and the Animals cover is a little cheesy, but the epic final song makes this a classic in my book.

A couple of Oasis albums that I think get overshadowed by Morning Glory. In fact, I feel their entire collection is under appreciated in North America, and that while Wonderwall is a great song, it undermines some major gems with its popularity.

Thanks, I'll check it out, that's the best part of rdio, even if it sucks, doesn't cost me a dime.

Mark Tremonti takes some grief for being in Creed, but the guy is a helluva guitar player - his debut album is fantastic

It's by far my favourite Eminem album. I like every song except Insane. I guess it wasn't underrated when it came out, but now it seems nobody likes it. He himself threw it under the bus.

Parkway Drive. Deep Blue. I'm the only one who raves about this album that I know. They nailed the bass level on the kicks and it melts my mind all the way through. Probably the album I've listened to the most in the last few years.

I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you're choosing before you gone dyin'?
I'll tell you about a secret I've been undermining
Every little lie in this world comes from dividing
Say you're my lover, say you're my own homie,
Tilt my chin back, slit my throat, take a bath in my blood, get to know me
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers.
