The Most Underrated Album Ever?

[Mayhem]

Grateful Dead - Europe '72. I even heard from a supposed deadhead that it was an album for "Grateful Dead beginners." Asshole. To me it is quite possibly the greatest album ever made.

 

[LukeEl]

Tom Waits Swordfishtrombones and Bone Machine.

 

[BlueBalls]

Tom Waits Swordfishtrombones and Bone Machine.

I don't know how underrated Swordfishtrombones actually is, it is one of his most acclaimed albums after maybe Rain Dogs.

Bone Machine is pretty underrated, I suppose.

Now Mule Variations, that's an underrated album.

Green Day: Dookie

dookie got all the fame and popularity it deserved plus perhaps a bit more.

insomniac kind of squeaked by without much of a look and i always thought it was one of the better ones from this now god awful band. i mean, wtf happened to them after insomniac?

 

[Andrew39]

first one that came to mind
Jefferson Starship - Winds Of Change(1982)

 

[E-Ann-Hilden]

a couple more underrated albums:

Jimi Hendrix : A Band of Gypsies
The Smiths: Louder Than Bombs

The Smith's album is more a collection, not a studio album.

Tom Waits is a critics darling, but he never was a mainstream musician.

I agree Mule Variations is a strong album though.

True. But I will say this now, for the good of the species people do and will need the Waits beaten into them.
