Really underrated album

[David E.]

Bruce Dickinson: Chemical Wedding.

Really underrated album

That, Accident of Birth and most of Balls to Picasso are better vocally and musically than most of Iron Maiden's music.

Bruce Dickinson - The Alchemist

Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon(acoustic)

 

[Samhain]

New York Dolls - New York Dolls
The Damned - Phantasmagoria
Alice Cooper - Love it to Death
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Misfits - Any album from the Glenn Danzig era

[Johnny Slick]

I've been made fun of by my hipster "friends" for professing to love Jagged Little Pill (and yeah, I agree that that is an every-song album).

[Samhain]

I've been made fun of by my hipster "friends" for professing to love Jagged Little Pill (and yeah, I agree that that is an every-song album).

I also get made fun of as well because it's out of the realm of what I usually listen to.  The odd thing is, the people making fun of me don't think it's a bad album, but apparently I'm not supposed to like such things.  News to me.

I must admit I'm not immune to those knee-jerk reactions of "I shouldn't like this, I should like this," but I ignore it wholeheartedly. The only requirement for music is that you elicit enjoyment from hearing it. You should see my collection, it's full of very disparate shit from all over the board. Can't think of a genre that I don't like something from.

[David E.]

We all have music like that.  I love Tori Amos.  I just ignore her lyrics for the most part and enjoy the music and her voice.

Dubstep? 

Actually, electronica holds mostly only passing appeal (and not much of it does that at all), but I just checked it out, and I have at least one record that could be considered dubstep.

Off the top of my head:

Amadou et Mariam - Dimanche a Bamako
Gorillaz - Demon Days

[Scoot Meevo]

I mostly listen to whole albums. I don't really buy that much music that's designed to sell on the back of a couple of singles so the whole album is really the focus and the quality is more consistent.

I have some old 80s pop that is patchy but because it's on vinyl I usually just leave it playing.

I have a few songs that I wish weren't on their respective albums but if an albums mostly filler then I just don't play it, unless it's on an mp3 shuffle.
