Your favorite but unknown

I know there are probably a good sized music collection that is shared by a lot of us here, but there must be some favorites that some of us have that no one else knows exists. Thus the question:

What is the one unknown LP, CD, 8-track in your collection that is indispensible, but that no one else knows about?

My favorite unknown (by most people anyway) would be Steve Taylor's LP "I Predict, 1990."

It is so good, but I doubt that more than a handfull (and I have big hands) of us on AudiogoN have ever heard of it. It contains lots of tongue-in-cheek humor, insightful lyrics, pot-shots at some well known and maybe respected institutions, all wrapped up in a good recording.

Now what are yours?

For pure pop heaven and luscious instrumentation:
The Chills "Submarine Bells"

Eric Matthews "The Lateness of the Hour" & "It's Heavy in Here" How this guy has not yet become the next Burt Bacharach I just don't know. A brilliant composer, trumpet player, and singer.

Anything by Bill Nelson (formerly of Be Bop Deluxe)

Waltersalas,

No joke. Freedy Johnston is a brilliant songrwriter.
You might as well blow your own horn as well. The Silos self-titled album is as potent today as ever.
