What Are The Most Underrated Records That...

[angelspade]

What are the most underrated rock and metal records that are not often mentioned or discussed...But definitely SHOULD be?

 

[stratjacket]

Thinking old ones, not new bands. Some that I love ands still listen to:

Leatherwolf - Street Lethal
Zebra - Zebra
Fastway - Sound track to Trick or Treat
Killer Dwarfs - Stand Tall
Hurricane - Take What You Want
TNT - Knights of the New Thunder
Loudness - Beast from the East
Lillian Axe - Lillian Axe
April Wine - Nature of the Beast

There are others, more power metal from the late 90's through 2010, but just sticking to 80's classics for me here.

Lamb Of God - as the palaces burn
Faith No More - angel dust
Crowbar - broken glass

I don't see many people talking about Angel Dust and how massively underrated it is. It gets a lot of spins from me.

I'm not sure Angel Dust is underrated. It had massive success in its day. I saw Faith No More in a stadium when it came out. Arguably, they were not the opening band but they still played in front of 80,000 people. It's more that it's 35 years old so it's not the topic of the day.

Noone ever talks (at least around here) about Car bomb - Meta or Volumes - Via... Those are awesome metal albums from more recent times.

Angel Dust (in my estimation) is one of the most brilliant and influential records in modern rock history...Literally nothing sounded like it at the time of release.

Fight - War of words. My favorite Halford album.

I'd like to throw in:

At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

Doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves for helping shape the genre.

Angel Dust was considered a disappointment by many when it was released, They were expecting another "the real thing" from them I guess? Something less experimental sounding.

Don't Say No - Billy Squire
No Control - Eddie Money
Crimes Of Passion - Pat Benetar
All Mixed Up - The Cars

Anything from Keel.

Cool to see someone mentioning Sentenced! Saw them live twice; on their Frozen album tour and their last gig ever.

Fight - War of words. My favorite Halford album.

I was in the military and saw them open for Helmet in a small club called The Boathouse. I was right in front of Jim Martin and bass amp was to the right of the stage. I think I lost a lot of my hearing at that show, lol. Was amazing!

My biggest regret is never seeing ATG live. It feels like they only JUST reunited and I looked it up, it was 2014. Now Tomas is gone. I'm making every effort to see all the bands I took for granted.

 

[BeZo]

God Forbid - Determination
Amazing guitar work before they ruined the band with clean singing to get on TRL.

you guys know about this one ???

 

[Tone Monster]

I know Corrosion of Conformity is well liked on here, but man, they didnt really go anywhere and I don’t quite get it. Could be just the raw production that turns people off.
Love peak COC!
