Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of


I prefer threads that talk about music than gear...and here is one. I assume everybody has a "go to"LP in their collection. A record that has formed a deep connection. A record you are protective of. A record you want to keep to yourself. A record so personal it hurts to reveal. For me it is... the Church...the Blurred Crusade.

Mofi...picked up '76 Zevon LP based on your praise...although technically its his 2nd as others have clarified...regardless... Great album *****
Hahaaaa...nice...boggles my mine when someone says they have never had pho...its breakfast food in Nam...cheap, flavorful, with variety options... Good stuff...too bad the weather in MSP is dreadful....
Tommy James"Christian of the world"...bubblegum gospel/r&b that only Tommy could pull off...great production as well...horns,backup singers...included the smash psych single "dragging the line"...but this LP is a forgotten gem
I also have "excitable boy" which I assume u have as well...and Linda Ronstadt covered "Carmelita" and "poor pitiful me"...which probably gave Zevon some nice royalties... Ironic his signature tune was "werewolves often London" which according to legend was a half-baked idea that came together rather quickly.
Speaking of debut lps...and sort of along this thread...Graham Parker "howlin wind"...great brit r&b style pub rock... The Rumour was his backing band...those cats can groove...and once again... From '76!...great production by Nick Lowe
Wow the Neats!...brings back memories...one of Boston's great enigmas..."another broken dream" from their debut LP has a killer bass line...also like label mates the Lyres...another forgotten band from this era...the Broadcasters
Everybody is welcome! Cmon on in...the eayrt is warm!...seriously, I put this in the analogue section in order to improve my used LP shopping knowledge/skills...but all suggestions are valid...also...what is mainstream to one person may not be to another...let's not judge...Love people!
Trip Shakespeare... Applehead Man...one of Minneapolis's best kept secrets from the 80s...strange psych lyrics, funky bass, Matt Wilson criminally underrated guitarist...
Schubert u nailed it...mini Toronto... With plenty of Norwegians... Minnasoooda...u betcha there Olga! But hard to beat in the 80s...Prince, the Time,Mats,jayhawks,husker due, souls asylum,suburbs, run westy run,cows, blue hippos, zuzus petals, babes in toyland,27 various, magnolias,urban guerrillas, the phones, mile one, the wallets, gear daddies,rank strangers, the bastards,12 rods, balloon guy, polera....
Speaking of Toronto...the Kings...the Kings are here... Cool quasi-new wave from the Great North...April Wine another guilty pleasure... Canadians know how to rock!
