Lost Classic Albums

it'll always be the first two (mini) albums for me. Not because they're better, necessarily, but because I heard them first and they knocked me sideways, and it was around then I first saw them, and they did likewise.
 
I find Fugazi's Argument - the only other album I have by them to be too shouty/boring - like a lot of punk - while Instrumental has such a variety of musical jamms and is so laid back in all tracks apart from Little Debbie, which is just great.
 
Another one is Converting Vegetarians by Infected Mushroom - but not the main disc, the extra disc which is just experimental electronica, rather than the somewhat boring bang bang music of the main disc.
 
Truly - Feeling You Up

...under-rated mid-nineties album from this Seattle band that featured ex-members of Soundgarden and Screaming Trees - though if "grunge" ain't your thing don't let that put you off! This is far more '60s psych/garage-rock in it's sonics :)
 
The Anniversary - Designing A Nervous Breakdown.
Part of that whole late 90s Vagrant emo sound, but not really emo at all and far better than anyone else on that label.
 
Not sure to what extent this is a lost album. But deserves to be much more well-known. Early 1990s proto-jungle ragga

Michael Moorcock - New World's Fair

You the man Sass, but I am not sure if Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters by Calvert isn't better.

Good lord, the stonecutters, moorcock, probably hawkwind too, its a shame you aren't south of the border, I'd enjoy a festive board or harmony with you :D
 
oh yes,

Dr Alimotado - Best Dressed Chicken in Town,

Caravan - The Land of Grey and Pink

Cardiacs - Songs of Ships and Irons
 
The Anniversary - Designing A Nervous Breakdown.
Part of that whole late 90s Vagrant emo sound, but not really emo at all and far better than anyone else on that label.

I used to like The Anniversary, though it was 'Your Majesty' that I always reached for :)
