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.

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.

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.

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)

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. (((goes to dig up CD, wants to hear rear view mirror))) |
