The Who by Numbers is phenomenal! With the exception of Squeeze Box it’s a perfect album. I paid dearly for the import version because it was available before the US one. I was underage but working in my parent’s business (Bell Bowl bowling alley) in Queens, NY and asked my mother to get it when she was out running errands. She was shocked at the cost! I didn’t get home until almost 2:00am and stayed up all night with headphones listening to it. I still listen to it on a regular basis and don’t think a month has gone by that I haven’t listened to it. The only other Who album that I listen to more is Quadrophenia!

Nursery Cryme was very underrated when it came out but tbh its reputation seems to have increased dramatically recently as evidenced by many KZitem reviews.If anything the one Genesis album which seems to have plummeted in many reviewers estimations as the years progress is Wind and Wuthering which I can't understand because for one thing it showcases Steve Hackett's guitar better than any other Genesis album with him on it and the album also best represents what the band sounded like live -ie phenomenal.I remember when it was released it was a huge critical and commercial success but now no one seems impressed by it at all and all I hear is people bitching about Steve Hackett leaving disgruntled and that it includes a pop song (Your Own Special Way) which takes up too much room etc etc.

Oh my damn! I can’t believe I got quoted! Thanks. I feel honored. I agree the sound quality isn’t the greatest, but I can get passed that since the songs are so good. I absolutely love Born Again by Black Sabbath. If there was a part 2, I would definitely say Queen II. The 1st two of their albums are my favorite of theirs and are under appreciated, but Queen II is phenomenal. It produced no hits which is why it gets skipped by most listeners, but the songs in there are awesome. The album slowly developed as my favorite. The 1st song I liked was the heavy metal sounding “Ogre Battle”, then the beautiful ballad “White Queen” as time progressed other songs began to play in my head which lead me to like them. Ultimately my favorite became “Father to Son” and pretty much every song became a favorite of mine. It’s such a great album that needs a listening to. It’s the album I listen the most from beginning to end. It’s great.

The Pretty Things - Parachute.....one of the greatest albums from the early 70's. Wishbone Ash - Front Page News....a bit of a departure for WA but the band shows off just how melodic, and beautiful they could write and perform, a mellow rock masterpiece. David Gilmour - "David Gilmour" - his debut solo album is just brilliant. Really feels like a lost Pink Floyd LP and just has an incredible musical flow and integrity to the entire Album.

I've been a huge Doors fan since the early 80's. The Soft Parade was their weakest of studio albums but I enjoy listening to it. I would recommend listing to some of their Bright Midnight releases. Tommy Bolin was a fantastic guitarist & I still have his two vinyl solo albums Teaser being the better one in my opinion. Come Taste The Band is fantastic. Tom also played on a couple of tracks on One of Moxy's albums; a Canadian band big in the 70's. I recommend having a listen most noteworthy their first 2 albums. Thanks for sharing your views. P.S. I'm a big Santana fan; seen them live 9x from '83-'02. Take Care!

I would say Joe Jackson's albums Look Sharp and I'm the Man are underrated. JJ had a great band playing with him on those albums, especially the bass player Graham Maby.

Kate's Dreaming seems to do pretty well in ranking vids i've watched and Steven Wilson's fav, my second. I'll throw a few out of mine. 1. Kate Bush---The Sensual World. 2, Yes---Yormato 3. Bill Nelsons Red Noise. 4. Army Of Anyone---self titled.

An enjoyable list, thanks for talking us through it; I really must check out the Richard Wright album. I think that Crime of the Century is Supertramp's best album but I also agree with you that it doesn't really qualify as underrated.

Very solid list here. I agree that Broken China, Nursery Cryme and Obscured by Clouds deserve more attention than they currently get. With Supertramp, I say Crisis? What Crisis? is the true underrated album in their discography. While not as dark as it’s predecessor, the genius writing and catchy tunes remain. Sister Moonshine, Ain’t Nobody But Me, A Soapbox Opera, The Meaning, great great stuff.

@@chriskarley384 Hey Chris - I see the word "underrated" used when describing music and other art forms, in a less than accurate fashion much, much too often! I've seen hugely successful and popular albums, songs and music artists listed as underrated, again and again. It seems that peeps who really love something just automatically feel that the artist or song isnt held with the same regard as their own. Hell, I've seen Metallica's Black album described as a hidden gem! Or how about Led Zeppelin mentioned as having many underrated albums....really? No, all Zep albums are actually VERY RATED! Ha ha! We all have different perspectives and environments, causing for multiple judgements of art, but when something is overwhelming popular and well known, it's difficult to think of it as hidden or unappreciated. Bowie fans, like yourself, universally place Scary Monsters high on the grading scale of Bowie's albums, and with hit songs and strong sales......NOT underrated in the least! Take care and thanks for helping to write violation tickets to inaccurate music critics! 😁😁😁

Yes, I agree definitely with Bowie's Scary Monsters. Easily in my Top 3 of him. Along with... The man who sold the world, and Station to Station. Strange choice? These are his Albums I grew up with musically, so they seem to have made an ever lasting impression... Best wishes, Richard

The 'Soft Parade' was a big selling album for the Doors in 1969. Critics disliked it but many who brought it were kids in their mid-teens due to Morrison's pop image. Its an enjoyable album.

I remember being castigated by my school friends for declaring CTTB as my favourite Deep Purple album (well until Purpendicular came along). However i was comforted when the legendary scribe in the shape of Geoff Barton gave it the full 10 stars when reviewing the 35th anniversary edition. Glad it made the list.

I need to say the title song on The Soft Parade is in fact a pretty good trip. Morrison having a rowdy, fun time along the way. Also Ashes to Ashes is a fine song from Bowie, that album is very underrated. Truth is not underrated, it is appreciated by any real rock and roll fan. Obscured by Clouds is rated exactly where it should be, for a Floyd album, which is Meh. I would have voted Beggars Banquet as under appreciated, over shadowed by Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers and Exile, but equal or better than any of those. Nice video Sir.
