I thought of this thread a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon the "War Of The Gods" album by Billy Paul. This album wasn't a big hit, but it is really good. The version I found at a used music store was the quadraphonic version and it is killer. Anyone else have any?

Bruce Springsteen - Nevraska

Madonna - American Life

Kelly Clarkson - My December

Hole - Nobody's Daughter

Moloko "Statues"

I still haven't figured out how to post pics! Shit! I'm frustrated!

Ok...so I go to a site that has the pic, do I click copy, open link, or what? Usually (like for Facebook) I just copy and paste...thanks for any advice!

Copy and paste the URL, then put the [img] tags and voila.

I have to think hard and long about this. I think I liked Discipline from Janet, it had more suitable tracks than 20 YO.

Ah yes, the lovely Chante Moore. One of the best voices to come out of the 90's. Never heard that particular album though.

Just kidding

1. Michael Jackson - Invincible

2. Rihanna - Rated R

3. Brooke Valentine - The Chain Letter

4. Chico Debarge - Long Time No See

5. Lil Kim - The Naked Truth

I don't understand why these albums didn't ''pop'' like they should have

"Forever More" is one of my ALL-TIME favorite songs.

Definitely should have done better than it did.

I prefer this to any BEP album. It has way more awesome songs, but poor single choices and lack of promotion meant it wasn't a massive hit like it should have been.

After "Pretty Hate Machine", this is my next favorite NIN album. I like it WAY more than albums which sold a lot more, like "Downward Spiral" for instance. I think even "With Teeth" which is my least favorite NIN album, sold more than this. I think it was because Interscope knew that Trent was leaving after this album and didn't push it as much as they could have. Regardless, it's a masterpiece.

or was it considered a hit? I actually thought only my friend and I were crazy about this album!

There were so many potential hits off of that..."100%", "Cannot Contain This", and yes "Forever More" should have been huge! Aside from that, Roisin's solo album "Overpowered" had the potential to have even more hits but fell flat on American ears. Sad.

Also my girl Teena Marie's album "Sapphire" could've been big if they had released the right singles...but they didn't! "The Way U Love Me" could've been a huge R & B hit as well as "Make It Hot" with Rick James.

That album was fucking amazing!!!!

It would be probably just easier to take a photo of my record shelf or post a text file of the records that I have as mp3 / flac.

Basically the 90% of the 00s albums that I own

yeah, SAD, isn't it? Sometimes I wonder why does she bother to keep releasing GREAT music if only the underground electronic scene of Europe cares...

While the others where not huge. Rated R Did have 3 top 10 singles so it did pretty well.

I think this record kicks so much ass and Lenny did a great job on it, better than his own records really.

There are more too mention... but these one come to mind at first:
