Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates

Sean seems you didn't get a response on the Ponty recommendation, Cosmic Messenger is a good 'ol favorite of mine!
Yesterday I played it and went through a little trip to the past McLaughlin Extrapolation, Abercrombie Timeless, Close to the Edge, Selling England by the Pound, Islands and run out of time .....
There's also a two CD set that covers many different albums I also have it but Cosmic I spin more frequently

Any Stiff Records sampler...

Crash Test Dummies.

The lyrics are great and the music ain't bad either. Superman, Ummm, Ummm..., God Shuffled His Feat, etc..., all wonderful songs.

Paul McCartney, Give my Regards to Broadstreet was panned by the critics. granted, the movie wasn't great, but the songs are 80's pop perfection--witness "No More Lonely Nights." A great tune!

Tom Waits: Bone Machine
Sonic Youth: Dirty
Pixies: Surfer Rosa
