    The Who by Numbers is phenomenal! With the exception of Squeeze Box it’s a perfect album. I paid dearly for the import version because it was available before the US one.
    I was underage but working in my parent’s business (Bell Bowl bowling alley) in Queens, NY and asked my mother to get it when she was out running errands. She was shocked at the cost!
    I didn’t get home until almost 2:00am and stayed up all night with headphones listening to it. I still listen to it on a regular basis and don’t think a month has gone by that I haven’t listened to it. The only other Who album that I listen to more is Quadrophenia!

      Yeah, I’ve loved that record for years.

    Oh my damn! I can’t believe I got quoted! Thanks. I feel honored.
    I agree the sound quality isn’t the greatest, but I can get passed that since the songs are so good. I absolutely love Born Again by Black Sabbath.
    If there was a part 2, I would definitely say Queen II. The 1st two of their albums are my favorite of theirs and are under appreciated, but Queen II is phenomenal. It produced no hits which is why it gets skipped by most listeners, but the songs in there are awesome. The album slowly developed as my favorite. The 1st song I liked was the heavy metal sounding “Ogre Battle”, then the beautiful ballad “White Queen” as time progressed other songs began to play in my head which lead me to like them. Ultimately my favorite became “Father to Son” and pretty much every song became a favorite of mine. It’s such a great album that needs a listening to. It’s the album I listen the most from beginning to end. It’s great.

    I love Obscured By Clouds because, given that it was recorded right in the middle of the Dark Side sessions, it comes off as almost an opposing doppelgänger to that much more famous LP. Where Dark Side is a work of grim, somber perfection, Obscured is light, breezy, lazy, and raw. A perfect album to listen to while taking a stroll in the countryside.

    I agree with Obscured By Clouds-I love that album and for me it represents a transition between the psychedelia styles of Meddle and the Prog/AOR of DSOTM.Rarely gets mentioned even by fans!
    Nursery Cryme was very underrated when it came out but tbh its reputation seems to have increased dramatically recently as evidenced by many TH-cam reviews.If anything the one Genesis album which seems to have plummeted in many reviewers estimations as the years progress is Wind and Wuthering which I can't understand because for one thing it showcases Steve Hackett's guitar better than any other Genesis album with him on it and the album also best represents what the band sounded like live -ie phenomenal.I remember when it was released it was a huge critical and commercial success but now no one seems impressed by it at all and all I hear is people bitching about Steve Hackett leaving disgruntled and that it includes a pop song (Your Own Special Way) which takes up too much room etc etc.

    I would add - Jeff Beck Group - "Rough & Ready" and "Jeff Beck Group" (an Orange on the cover).
    With Bobby Tench on Vocals, Max Middleton - Keyboards and Cozy Powell on drums....incredible talent, very overlooked albums and I feel like it's some of Jeff's finest work.
    The Pretty Things - Parachute.....one of the greatest albums from the early 70's.
    Wishbone Ash - Front Page News....a bit of a departure for WA but the band shows off just how melodic, and beautiful they could write and perform, a mellow rock masterpiece.
    David Gilmour - "David Gilmour" - his debut solo album is just brilliant.
    Really feels like a lost Pink Floyd LP and just has an incredible musical flow and integrity to the entire Album.

    An interesting rundown. I am puzzled, what is meant by “underrated” in this context and against what criteria are these albums being assessed? Are they being considered alongside their peers within their own style of music, or being measured against albums that have a more universal cross-genre appeal? I am not familiar with all of these albums but mention of Kate Bush’s The Dreaming left me scratching my head. Sure, it was too different when it came out for many people to know what to do with it, and to think it was bad because of that. But that’s not the case today. Far too many people now consider it to be a masterpiece and the majority of Kate Bush fans would rank it in the same ballpark as Hounds of Love.

I've seen hugely successful and popular albums, songs and music artists listed as underrated, again and again. It seems that peeps who really love something just automatically feel that the artist or song isnt held with the same regard as their own. Hell, I've seen Metallica's Black album described as a hidden gem! Or how about Led Zeppelin mentioned as having many underrated albums....really? No, all Zep albums are actually VERY RATED! Ha ha! We all have different perspectives and environments, causing for multiple judgements of art, but when something is overwhelming popular and well known, it's difficult to think of it as hidden or unappreciated. Bowie fans, like yourself, universally place Scary Monsters high on the grading scale of Bowie's albums, and with hit songs and strong sales......NOT underrated in the least!
