    Default Most underrated albums by well known artists?

    Which albums by well known artists do you feel have been overlooked?

    Here are a few I want to mention to kick things off:

    AC/DC: Powerage, Flick of the Switch - These albums never seem to get any attention, yet I think they are two of their best releases. Guns For Hire from FOTS is just rocking, and every track on Powerage gets me tapping my foot.

    The Rolling Stones: Their Satanic Majesties Request - Far and away my favorite Stones album. I think of it as their "Sgt. Pepper".
    "It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life." - Jimi Hendrix

    Just a side note to this one.. Brian Jones figured it to be a flop... and that quote as to be compared to Sgt. Pepper seems to been his feelings as well.. There is a DVD out called http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...541600?ie=UTF8 Stoned about Brian Jones and the stones.. not great , but something about the stones start and the murder? of Brian Jones.

    My vote would have to be any Kings X album at all. Why these guys haven't gotten huge is beyond me.

    Next I'd say that in the USA Ayreon's- "Human Equation," The Flower Kings - "Paradox Hotel," and most importantly Neal Morse's - "Question" are all masterpieces that nobody knows about.

    "No Tele For you." - The Tele Nazi

    Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
