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?

Richingoth -- like your recommendations very much. If you like Nina hagen and lene Lovitch, do absolutely search for The Eccentric Opera from Japan.

I do not know the three cds (LPs) you have not played for 25 years...i will be happy to buy them...if you want to, please email me separately. I will look for them at amoeba records in san francisco anyways....bibibi

The Burns Sisters should have gotten more recognition. Check 'em out.

Burton Garr - "Mighty Long Road"

A few years ago, my friend Charles was visiting New Orleans record stores and this disk was impressing everyone. He brought me a copy and I have been playing it ever since. If Burton was younger, blond and tall he would be a super star. The songs are some of the best crafted blues I've ever heard. True poetry. Burton can sing and play with the best. The band is outstanding and the recording is excellent. I often use it as a test disk for evaluating gear. It is a must have!

A couple of unknowns (at least to me) that I've just recently begun listening to:

The Damnwells (think Blur meets Paul Westerberg meets Stereophonics)

Kim Richey "The Collection"
