Re: Favorite Albums No One Else Knows About
This is my favorite old school rock album ever,im always suprised that most classic rock fans have heard the band but not this album . Ive only heard 1 song from this album on fm in the last 40 years. The live recording from 40 years ago leaves a lot to be desired, But it captures the time perfectly.

The Queers play a local dive here in DE often....at least they were a years ago.
TKoP said:The Bogmen -- found this CD in the bargain basement section of my local used record store. I can't think of a better $1.99 I ever spent. I like or love every song.
The Swamp Zombies --- Again, searching through the super cheapies at my used record store I found this one. I bought it purely on the name of the band. I ended up buying every CD I could find (a little difficult since they're out of print). I think I played this one while at Flints and he asked who they were. By far the best beatnik/folk/punk hybrid ever!
The Queers -- I don't know anyone else that has ever mentioned them, and I've never heard them on the radio (with good reason based on their lyrics), but they could be my favorite "fun" punk band. Fast guitars, totally sophomoric lyrics, slightly sexist and totally fun. And again, I bought their first album based purely on the name of the band and album.

I was hesitant to post this, but if Rope can use Head East Flat as a Pancake, than I can definitely count this one.
Even Tony Iommi said it was his least favorite Ozzy era Black Sabbath album, but that was because of all of the turmoil the band was going thru.
Almost no one gives this album any cred, but I love it. The title track, Johny Blade, and Junior's Eyes are all good.

Re: Favorite Albums No One Else Knows About
Well I could probably name any classical album and nobody else here would know about it...
bscene-buttred:
But my (first) contribution to this thread is:
This is Russian all-male choral work from the 19th and 20th centuries; the text is Russian orthodox liturgy. If you've never heard a real Russian choir, you gotta try this one - it's only $0.36 used on amazon, and I recommend it highly (click on the picture to go to amazon). It's amazing to hear how low the human voice can actually go - Barry White's got nothing on these guys. And it's very good music besides being good test material for the mid bass range of your speakers. This is a great album to just sit and immerse yourself in when you're feeling a little slow, contemplative.

I see your all-male choral work and raise you a choir of priests-in-training singing Polish Christmas songs:
Fun fact: the guy in the front row, bottom right is my dad! As my dad was battling cancer last summer my brother was able to track down this article about the album: http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/rftmusic/2008/12/second_spin_christmas_in_polan.php. Amazing that it was in St. Louis which is where my dad lived and it led to this e-mail from my brother to the guy who wrote the article:
The author responded that he still had the album in his office almost three years after that article was published - and he was willing to give it to my brother. Needless to say it was playing on my dad's record player less than a week later.

Re: Favorite Albums No One Else Knows About
No offense, man, but this is about albums no one knows about... Mumford and Sons is HUGE and written about in every magazine, played on every radio station, and used in every TV show. Hard to call that unique and underground.

I posted the same but it never posted. I like the style of music but unfortunately they are like an Irish/Folk Linkin Park......redundancy at it's worst.
MZ, you don't listen to much radio do you? These boys are on at least once an hour.
