Name An Album That Deserves More Love?

Hole's first album, "Pretty on the Inside"

Hole just gets a lot of hate between Courtney Love's abrasive personality and obnoxious fans of Kurt Cobain / Nirvana. But, in my opinion, this album is close to perfection. Her vocals just bring it home.

Jethro Tull, "Catfish Rising."

'Bummed' by Happy Mondays (1988).

Shaun Ryder massively under rated as a lyricist here he captures the zeitgeist before the whole 'Madchester' thing kicks off and they sell out.

I had on cassette and blasted it out in my 1st car all year.

Animals by Pink Floyd.

The one that I think is criminally underrated and unknown by many is “Themata”, Karnivool’s first full length album from 2005.  Fantastic collection of alt-metal tracks, not a clunker in the bunch.

From a prog perspective, I'd have to go with Genesis "And Then There Were Three".  Maybe purchased that album on the strength of "Follow You, Follow Me".  While understandable, the rest of that album had high quality short prog tunes.

Hi ME,

There is some beautiful answers here already by some very intelligent users.

Sadly, I am not one of them. However I would add an album: Minor Victories by Minor Victories.

I thought it had amazing breadth and something special on ever song. One video for the single Scattered Ashes even had giant cats walking around a city fighting humans, but still not enough to get the punters in.

Cheers for hosting a really good question.

For every album I love, my love is enough for me. But of course I understood the (clear) meaning of your question, and I can say that in my opinion people have generally taken badly "Fear Inoculum", Tool's last album. Ok, perhaps not very innovative compared to the rest of their discography, but there is talk of stability in the immense, how it is possible that the "masterpiece of anyone else" must be the "disappointing and too long-awaited" Tool's latest album? People are incorrigible.

Porcupine by Echo & the Bunnymen! I love Echo & the Bunnymen’s first four albums, but Porcupine is great. It deserves a higher amount of attention; Porcupine is a complex, dense adventure with tons of psychedelia. It has jagged, spiky guitars & great basslines, and it’s a difficult but rewarding listen.
