Under-appreciated Albums from Famous Bands

[Billsballbag]

Not everyone's cup of tea but Radiohead...The Bends is much better than OK Computer.

Nirvana's first album, Bleach, get's quite close to Smells Like Teen Spirit.

 

[sgt_wilko]

Radiohead are my cup of tea, and I agree that The Bends is the better album.

 

[Mistryman]

I’d say “A Moon Shaped Pool” is better than “OK Computer” too.

Others:

“There’s No Place Like America” by Curtis Mayfield - as good as “Curtis” or “Superfly”

“Off The Wall” > “Thriller”

“Revolver” & “Abbey Road” > “Sgt.Pepper”

“Definitely Maybe” > “Morning Glory”

“Parade” > “Purple Rain”

“Paul Weller” > “Wild Wood” & “Stanley Road”

“Stand!” > “There’s A Riot Goin’ On”

“Bryter Later” & “Five Leaves Left” > “Pink Moon”

“Young Americans”, “Low” & “Station To Station” > “Ziggy Stardust”

“Paul’s Boutique” > “Licensed To Ill”

 

[Billsballbag]

Paul's Boutique i agree with but what followed was even better.

Definitely Maybe was always the best Oasis album for me. A slow decent into mediocrity thereafter.
