most forgotten albums of mainstream bands?

what do you think are the best forgotten albums of mainstream bands, particurally bands that don't have a great reputation for one reason or another?

edit: my answer: staind's <i>dysfunction</i>.

I personally thought Three Dollar Bill Y'all was a good cd by limp bizkit. Then they got big and Durst became a jackass and their second cd was crap on a stick.

Everclear-sparkle & fade

i think it fits in to the category. I dont really like Everclear but there are so many good songs on this album.

...well i think so anyways...

Beatles - Rubber Soul

Most people dont think of this album first, But this one has the honour of being the first album after LSD experiments. So its intriguing. Revolver is right after weed. Interesting progressions.

there are too damn many to name... the ones that stand out to me, though, are...

Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R

The White Stripes - De Stijl

The Offspring - Ignition

Blink-182 - Cheshire Cat (yes, Blink-182 actually made good music once)

AFI - Anything besides Sing The Sorrow (which blows compared to all their other albums)

those are just the ones that stand out to me. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

This is a group only in the sense that since all the music they ever did together was recorded in one weekend in 1973. They'v inherited the band name from an album released in 1975 that, while never mainstream, has gotten "classic" (Ihate that word) status over the last 25+ years in a couple of genres (bluegrass, country rock, alternative). The band consisted of several really good musicians; Peter Rowan, David Grisman, John Kahn, Vassar Clemins, and Jerry Garcia. The album and the bands name is "Old and in the way"; if you have any liking for "old timey" music, give it a listen; it pre-dates "O Brother Where Art Thou" by a lot of years; I wore out several vinyl copies of it before it came out on CD; the first album was a selection of tunes from the three performances the band did in '73, about four years ago, everything that was recorded that weekend was put out on an additional two CD's; any one of the available CD's are worth a listen.

Weezer - Pinkerton

Blink 182 - Dude Ranch (before they went to shat)

Staind - Dysfunction

anything evanescence - their demos, eps, etc. are awesome, but many dismiss them since they are heard on mainstream radio.

edit: forgot one.

INCUBUS - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

It wasn't especially amazing, but after releasing the most played song of 2000 (Hanging by a moment) you'd think Lifehouses' 2nd album Stanley Climbfall would get a bit more recognition.

Radiohead--Pablo Honey.

Forgotten because, well, The Bends and OK Computer were such undisputed classics.

Yes I know Creep was on there but the rest of the album had some great songs on it. Their sense of melody and dynamics was just starting to show itself.

darksparkles, if you are gonna put staind's dysfunction cd, you might as well put their first cd instead. Their first cd is called Tormented and like no one has heard of it. thats back when they were good.


BulletBob, i agree with you on Insecticide by Nirvana, except i think its a great album.

Any Pink Floyd album that ISN'T Dark Side, The Wall, or Wish You Were Here, or Piper.

Obscured by Clouds, for example. Although Animals is my all-time favorite by them.

You know what....

Come to think of it, Core and Purple are pretty much the only Stone Temple Pilots albums that aren't really overlooked.

spiritual machines or happiness... by our lady peace. those two albums are quite different from what we're used to hearing, and I think, their best albums, but all anyone ever wants to talk about is either clumsy or their newest album (gravity)

I'm only mentioning it because someone else mentioned "Robbin' the Hood"- Sublime's "40 oz. to Freedom." Most Sublime fans have this album, but most also think that the self titled album was better, which I don't agree with.

Right on. Opiate was a great albumn, athough Tool admits that it was rushed and wasn't their true sound. Aenima did kinda overshadow them, but any true Tool fan owns them none the less. Rock on Sleepyjack!! Also: Fear Factory "Soul of a New Machine" or "Demanufacture", Dimmu Borgir "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant", At the Drive-In "In/Casino/out", Deftones "Adrenaline", and probably alot I can't remember.

Pearl Jam's VS. Not as great as Ten, but much better than the last four (or however many) albums they've made.

That's true, but compared to the critical success of ten, and the lackluster performance of almost all the others, (with maybe the exception of Vitology) it seems to me that VS would be the forgotten one, not the best, but not grouped in with the worst.
I dunno, just my humble opinion.
