Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved

The Faces' "Long Player."

This is the same band that is Rod Stewart and The Faces. To satisfy their respective record contracts, Rod and the band alternated between recording for Warners and Mercury. Ron Woods shows off his slide playing and Rod's ragged vocals are complemented by the bands rollicking performance. One of my favorites.

boxer12: I'll check out Bardo Pond based upon your other selections. I first saw Fleetwook Mac with Peter Green when they opened for Black Sabbath. It made me thing I had come to see the wrong band. FMac was fantastic!
My first Dead show was in September,1972, so I just missed Pigpen.
I saw Adrian Belew once with Fripp and another time with a young brother and sister rhythm section, a really impressive show.
As for Dylan, two records under appreciated are of mostly traditional covers, "Good As I Been To You" and "World Gone Wrong." Very good sonics, too!

ghosthouse: That "Gasoline Alley" was the first Rod record I bought. And that "great group" was the Faces with Ron Wood. Of course they were great! Rod has one of the all time great rock'n'roll voices. As for the standards he has been recording, I passed on 'em.

Agreed, ghosthouse, on Rod's later stuff. Once he split with the Faces, it was something completely different.
