Underrated Albums

[wondergirl9847]

Hunting High and Low - A-Ha (Take On Me is a great tune, but that entire album is greatness!!)

Nouveaux - Beginnings (Terrific Christian rock album..one of my faves)


Rumours - Fleetwood Mac (dayum, they just can't catch a break, huh?)

Buckingham Nicks - Buckingham Nicks (whatever happened to those two?)

Even in my old age, I still have skin like a baby's ass. And don't you forget it.

Yeah. Too bad they don't perform any of the songs from the album live.

For real! I bet Stevie could really pull off that airy voice she has on that track these days.

How about The Chain? It would make a great opener.

Heathen wasn't underrated here in the UK. It was even nominated for the Mercury Music award in 2002.
He was beaten by Ms Dynamite that year I think.

He desperately needed a good album after the monstrosity that is the Hours... album.

You know I actually really like the Hours album. I totally love the track Thursday's Child and Seven and Survive are pretty good too.
The one I've never liked is Earthling. I just didn't get Bowie doing the jungle/dance thing. I like I'm Afraid Of Americans (great lyrics) but the rest I can't take to.
The only other Bowie albums to get a thumbs down from me are Tonight (apart from Blue Jean and Loving The Alien) and Never Let Me Down (no redeeming tracks at all!).

I do love Bowie though, I even like the first Tin Machine album!

Hours, Tonight, and Never Let Me Down are the only ones I do not and can not listen to. I rushed out to get Hours the day it was released and practically cried when I listened to it. I just find it...dull. It's so uninteresting and middle of the road adult contemporary crap, I never would have expected anything quite like it. I'm glad he scrapped the Toy album, lawd knows what it must have sounded like.

I like Earthling quite a bit, but I also like Black Tie White Noise, so...

U2 The Unforgettable Fire
John Mellencamp Human Wheels
Bruce Springsteen Tunnel of Love
Alanis Morrisette Under Rug Swept
Van Morrison Days Like This
Tori Amos A Sorta Fairy Tale
Rodney Crowell Fate's Right Hand

I like Black Tie White Noise. I remember when it came out, it was like phew, he can still make good music! Jump They Say is awesome.

I think you should give Hours another go, or at least Thursday's Child. It really is a grower believe me.

I love Hours too and am iffy on Earthling. "Thursday's Child" is one of my favorite Bowie songs.

A lot of Mellencamp's later stuff is overlooked. The self-titled album of a few years ago is very good.
