Hidden Treasure


What albums do you have that the band or artist just never got the attention or airplay to take off. But you still play all the time. A couple of mine are Henry Gross Plug Me Into Something, Elf Elf, and Robert Johnson Close Personal Friend. Not “The” Robert Johnson. Love these albums are play them at least once a month. What are your Hidden Treasures?

I've been listening to the Budgie album "Bandolier" since 1975. My sister had it on 8-track and I used to listen on the family console stereo. I have it today on CD and vinyl LP and I listen to it a couple of times a year and still love it. Is it nostalgia, or is it good? You tell me.....
@jafant - I love Jack johnson. He's just so natural........

@slaw @bander - The BoDeans live album is a true gem. I think I prefer every one of the live versions to the original studio track. But, I heard the live versions first, so that might be the reason.

Here's a good one for you - The Rainmakers - "The Good News and the Bad News". I love Americana and this is one of my favorite Americana/Midwestern records. 

And here's one of my all -time favorites that did not gain major exposure - dada - "Puzzle" Just a fantastic rock album.
Supertramp - "Brother Where You Bound?"

Easily my favorite Supertramp album, for both music and sound quality. This album has drive and dynamics that are missing from the other Supertramp albums. It sounds absolutely fantastic. And it doesn't have that girlie voiced, whiney, wimpy sounding Roger Hodgson, so that right there is an improvement.

Anyway, It rocks! and It's just a great record. If you can find the 45 rpm 12" direct to disk single of Cannonball, get it! It's truly remarkable.
