Unforgiven Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Rishloo - Eidolon (Maybe some people on here have heard of the band, most everyone I know had no clue who they were when I asked) (click for a song off the album) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejaydana Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Here's one: Beck "Sea Change" (never rec'd any air play and it might be the best CD he's ever done). And it's nothing like you'd expect from him btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins561 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Pretty much any Rush album, these guys play with a lot of heart and they are extremely talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RammsteinSkins Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Pretty much any Rush album, these guys play with a lot of heart and they are extremely talented.QFT. I'm a die hard that can vouch for this. Hemispheres or Permanent Waves are probably the best ones to check out. They're still going strong, a song they released in June which is very Hard Rock oriented is already one of my favorites.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btoEgIlhbUcRush isn't exactly under rated thou Rush isn't mainstream though, they are still a cult band and how they aren't in the Rock N' Roll HOF is beyond me.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Rush isn't exactly under rated thou Yeah, as far as Rush, I believe their first album is underrated. It's essentially a blues album by Canadians (let the stereotyping begin) but it's actually a really tight jam session. I'll go with the album "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age.

Predicto Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Adrian Belew - Mr. Music Head. One of the most cheerful, upbeat albums I have ever heard. I love it from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'll go with the album "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age. Great album, but hardly underrated. Went double platinum, as I recall. Edit: Just remembered...Chinese Democracy! That disc is crazy good and highly underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Great album, but hardly underrated. Went double platinum, as I recall. I don't rate albums by gem colors. Not many of my musician buddies are in to them, same with my non-musician friends...that album is a straightforward killer. Always have to recommend it to people who are oblivious to the band, much less the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just Rush that have been snubbed by that establishment. To be honest the Rock and Roll HOF is a joke. Sure, Rush should be in there but many other bands have been unjustly left out as well. Here are a few of them. Kiss Def Leppard Chicago The Moody Blues Boston Cheap Trick Judas Priest I could name many others. The bottom line is that when you have acts like Madonna and ABBA as members, I'm not sure how Rock and Roll the Hall of Fame actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Rush isn't mainstream though, they are still a cult band and how they aren't in the Rock N' Roll HOF is beyond me. Rush is very much mainstream. They get a fair amount of radio airplay, and 9 out of 10 rock fans have heard of them. Just because your typical teenage girl doesn't have half-naked pictures of Geddy Lee posted on their wall, doesn't mean they're not mainstream.

Commander PK Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Alter Bridge: Blackbird and One Day Remains Outstanding Hard Rock albums. This band has been dismissed by many who were Creed haters, but their sound is largely completely different from Creed. Alter Bridge teeters on metal at times. Van Halen: Van Halen III completely trashed by the critics and fans alike, including this one when it arrived in 1998. However, with the exception of "How many say I" which still makes me want to drill a giant hole through my head, the album is pretty damn good. It took 12 years to get me to say that. The problem, I realize now, is that it just was NOT what people expected from Van Halen. Pantera: The great southern Trendkill. This is I think the forgotten masterpiece from Pantera. This album was VERY hardcore at a time, when nobody else was putting out that kind of metal, at that level. Releasing an album like this, that if I remember correctly debuted at #4 on the Billboard chart in 1996, was the ultimate " **** you" to the trends going on in music, and that god AWFUL post grunge radio rock crapola that radio was spewing out. In the era of Hip/Hop and crappy college one-hit wonder stoner bands, this album was refreshing for the old school metal head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch1724 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Good call earlier on Raging Slab, Kiss' Revenge, and Cinderella's Heartbreak Station. A couple others from the era: Thunder - Laughing on Judgement Day Quireboys - A Bit of What You Fancy Tesla - Five Man Acoustical Jam Black Crowes - By Your Side A couple other recent ones from the top of my head: Honky - Balls Out Inn Extreme - Saudages De Rock Kenny Wayne Shepherd - The Place You're In and 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's nothing like you'd expect from him btw. Yep, great album. If you have a 5.1 surround system, you owe it to yourself to buy Sea Change recorded in that format. It sounds amazing.
