Alright, there are thousands of great albums out there. Let's find the little gems everyone else overlooked (or forgot they existed). I'll start.

Miami - the Gun Club (1982)
>Heavily blues-influenced post-punk, with country undertones.
>Has aged surprisingly well. The production is not as cheesy as the year suggests.

This is a really god damn thread idea, OP youve earned one (1) bj.

My rec is Pharoah Sanders - Thembi (jazz, 1971)
I shill this shit all day on here, so much so that one of you might've even seen me doing it, and its fuckin worth it.
An overlooked and underrated opus of 70s jazz, this album takes you on a journey that spans the range of what jazz had to offer in its hey day. Every track is its own adventure and has its own distinct sound, yet they flow together brilliantly. This album also functions well as a good entry level album for beginning jazz listeners. It's at times melodic, soothing, abrasive, groovy, spacey, and nuts.
Plz listen thx.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Planning Weed Like It's Acid / Life Is Loss: Pop Songs 2015
>Noise Pop, Shoegaze, Dream Pop,

Rodan - Rusty (1994)
>Post-hardcore, bits of post-rock
It's a masterpiece of dark, angry, atmospheric music. The first track lulls you with its beautiful latticework of guitars playing over each other. About halfway through it takes an uneasy turn, eventually looping back around to its beauty. Then the train hits you with track 2.

Shipping News - save everything (1997)
>Post-hardcore, post-rock, low-fi
>Headed up by Jason Noble, and Jeff Mueller of Rodan
A real mishmash of ideas, but all of them good-great. First track is a rhythmic, rocky romp as Jason Noble sings through a phone cord about lost love. The second track is three minutes of Jeff Mueller yelling about being sailor on a boat before the song slows down for 7 minutes and starts to actually evoke the feeling of being on a ship at sea. Probably the standout track. The fourth track is a wonderful lamentful lullaby. The closer is Shipping News' answer to Slint's Washer. Two and a half minutes of poetry about lost love is recited by Noble, before the instruments kick in for an eight minute extravaganza of mourn, and rage.

A good mixture of The Ramones meets The Stooges meets the first two Cheap Trick albums.

Lead singer/guitar player Chris Osgoode started Twin Tone Records which gave the world Soul Asylum and The Replacements. H was also Bob Mould's guitar teacher.

>>71751121
Apart from a few things in it, I think this album's great. The production makes it sound huge and 80s. Definitely far from the BOC sound, but good anyway.

Love this song. It's so over the top, and the guest vocalist is excellent here. Normally I hate Joe Satriani, but his solo is actually pretty good.

Lamp - For Lovers

Don't know exactly why you should listen to it, but it's a good sophisti-pop jazzy duet album that has flavours of 60s and 80s pop all over. If you are into J-pop or K-pop you might enjoy this slice of feel good music, very western and kawaii!
