Days of Future Passed - The Moody Blues

(the original 'concept' album)

The Monks - Suspended Animation

Hocus Pocus by Focus, actually, wait a minute, the original release may have been on In and Out of Focus. That one. Since I only have it on vinyl it's been years since I heard it, but I do remember the rest of the tracks being very good, and usually ignored because of the yodelling thing.

Hamburger Concerto gets props also.

I don't think Days of Future Past or Ziggy are underrated. In my book, they're both exceptionally great albums.

Iron Butterfly - Metamorphosis

Duality-Ra

Ziggy is not underated - agrees with spexx on that, but does feel that the Moodies are too often dismissed as a 'MOR' FM-rock band. As for Focus, love them and saw them live last year at me local rock venue (unshamed plug for 'The LimeLight' at Crewe)......

but for real underated, you gotta look at the three seminal bands of British rock....

The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and the Alexis Korner Set

the Yardbirds are far from underrated, but Iron Butterfly definitely gets a second from me. Its a pity that people've only heard In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.

No way. Jeez, they're brilliant. MOR they definitely are not.

I guess I'd put Combat Rock in the same category. I was the only one in my group listening to Ziggy so thats my bias, whereas we all had a copy of Combat Rock.

How about Aimee Mann - I'm with Stupid?

Combat Rock has become a punk ICON, I dont think it can qualify as underrated, except among people who dont like punk.
