LoDog said: Some of you guys are way off the charts! I can think of 5 most underrated albums. The first would come from one of the greatest artists of our time: Stevie Wonder. Of all of Stevie's albums, no one ever mentions The Secret Life Of Plants.This is a classic and always forgotten Wonder album. Also, how about Public Enemy's first Lp: Yo! Bum Rush The Show.I love this album! This is what got me started on PE. Third album to mention is Jesse Johnson's Shockadelica.Terrific set featuring She(I Can't Resist), Addiction, Baby Let's Kiss, and Black In America. Fourth album to mention is Michael Jackson's Forever,Michael.This last solo album for Motown is one of my fave Michael albums and defintely underrated 100%. When the Kinf of Pop passed away last summer, nobody even mentioned this album. When they talked about his solo projects from Motown, Got To Be There and the Ben albums were only mentioned. Only Larry King actually showed this album in the background when showing all of Mike's albums during the telecast. Damn shame! Last but not least is the Isley Bros. album Givin' It Back. This album of remakes is often overlooked for some reason or another. Yes, the Isleys had classic albums over the years like: Harvest For The World, Go For Your Guns, Eternal, Showdown, Brother,Brother,Brother, 3+3, and my personal fave The Heat Is On. But somehow this one is never hardly mention as a good or even classic Isley album. Why? Why on any of these? That poses the question now does it? That's My list and I'm sticking with it.

The Secret Life .... fully needs more shine on it. And in that family we should also speak about Garden Of Love - Rick James. | |

Prithee, you must be a gentleman of a very charitable and kindly disposition to include Oasis or to feel they warrant rating at all. It seems to be quite fashionable to hate Oasis (and by Oasis I mean 1994-1997). But unfortunately I'm desperately unfashionable and relatively unmoved by popular opinion. As for the inclusion of the album; I love it, and I'm sure I've never read a single positive review. Thus it made my (incomplete) list. I also have to completely disagree with you if you are lumping the Manics into the 'haven't made better albums since' category. 'Journal for Plague Lovers' is nothing short of brilliant. However you are spot on with Pearl Jam..... [Edited 3/22/10 17:35pm] | |

I remember Know What I Mean still made the top of the charts back when that meant something, thought the song was a clear drop in quality from previous singles though. I didn't mean the Manics. | |
