Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved

Fleetwood Mac before Stevie Nicks

Grateful Dead with Pig Pen

Adrian Belew's music

Bardo Pond (great band)

Bob Dylan's rock-a-billy period

The discussion of Rod Stewart brought to mind, "Gasoline Alley".  
For me that is an excellent "solo" recording from Rod (though he's got a great group of musicians working with him on it).  I'd put that out there as an example of an LP that doesn't get enough praise. 


boxer12, what's an album from Dylan's rock-a-billy period?

Stones Santanic M.R.
Van Halen Fair Warning
Ac/DC Flick of the Switch
Nick Gilder Frequency
The Troggs

Somebody has to get their hearing checked. Stewart is a legendary vox. His material is questionable at times.

To answer ghosthouse;

It started with "Love and Theft" and apparently (?) ended (to early to tell) with "Tempest". Good stuff, IMO has a rock-a-billy feel style to it.
