Classic Album Overrated/Underrated Discussion

[casserole of nonsense]

Aja all the way down at #327 is a fracking joke. Amazing album of jazz rock that was rightly put into the US Library of Congress National Recording Registry. Ranked about 300 spots too low if you ask me.

Agree. Staggeringly good album.

Pet Sounds I’ve always thought was nothing more than ok.

Trout Mask Replica is pretty much unlistenable. Safe As Milk is wonderful.

I’m the biggest Stones fan there is so for me 68-72 which is Beggars Banquet to Exile is the best run of albums going.

As mentioned earlier Closer is so underrated.

"Let It Bleed" is their best for me.

Not checked the list but Astral Weeks by VM is usually name checked. Never liked it so over rated for me.

60 out of I’d guess over a BILLION recorded albums is more than respectable

Yeah you're right.

However, I think I was trying to push the point that it's underrated locally.

Like I say, the Gallagher's etc get far more recognition for some bizarre reason. I rarely here anyone refer to Unknown Pleasures as a top album yet any old gash put out by anyone who's associated with Oasis or the Stone Roses get god like status locally.

I know from your posts that you really like the Gallagher's so no offence intended.

Completely agree on both. Radiohead is a shit Pink Floyd. They play chamber music. Best tune they ever performed by three standard deviations was a cover of "Ceremony."

I also agree with the Radiohead and OK Computer comments. "Paranoid Android" is considered one of the best songs, yet is a second-rate "Happiness is a Warm Gun" rip-off.

I can't see the list on the first page.
