I kinda of agree with you on this one but let me push it further and ask what about the Final Cut? As overshadowed as can be. Yes I know everybody thinks it's a Roger Waters only album but still it's under the PF name so... and yes it may not be as good as lots of other Pf albums, still, doesn't it have it own merits? It's definitely no my favorite PF album but it was not bad either.
@@brunohebert1351 I hated Final Cut when it was released - I was 22yo. I decided to give it another chance during the UK's first C19 lockdown and now think it is a much under-rated album. It will never hold up against the 3 albums that preceded it but it is much better than it is given credit for imho.
@@brunohebert1351 I like The Final Cut better than The Wall, the concept and idea is more realized, The Wall has some great songs, but also a lot of filler.
Interesting topic. Fully agree with your Nirvana, NIN, and Pink Floyd choices. I would say even more criminally overlooked is the first side of Floyd's More soundtrack. Really great stuff on there.
I bought that Black Crowes as a 45 box set new in 96. It was one of the very rare moments I found new vinyl in a CD store during the 90s. New vinyl was so rare in the 90s, I could tell you when and where I got every single one lol. I found the 10" pic disc of " one mirror too many" at a record convention
"Meddle" is it for me. I'm 70. Echoes is a windy, cloudy November day at Conant Park in Hillside NJ in 1969 with friends after having dosed. (Yes, I know that Meddle was released in 1972 but I heard it in the wind). I'll pick "The Who By Numbers".
I LIKE HOW YOU INTRODUCED THE VIDEO WITH YOU PLAYING THE AUDIOSLAVE RECORD PLUS I ALWAYS GET AN OFFER FOR MY DANZIG RECORD TOO GREAT TO SEE IT ON YOUR WALL
Summerteeth my favourite Wilco album. Otherwise most reviewers are too young or don't appreciate some late 60's albums that never get a mention: Dr John, Gris Gris. Taj Mahal. The Insect Trust. Fever Tree, etc.
It’s honestly hard to say if The Fragile was overshadowed. Rolling Stone named the tour that supported it the best tour of the year, those shows were packed just on the strength of people wanting to see the band, period, but they were introduced to a number of the songs from the album as a result. Multiple movies have used songs from the album, especially “300..” I mean I didn’t see “With Teeth” as any kind of huge resurgence that was bigger than The Fragile to cause people to kind of forget about it nowadays. I think the one thing that can be said is that it just didn’t have the big singles of the other albums. But I don’t think that prevented it from being popular and/or highly regarded. I think people definitely paid attention to it at the time exactly because of the hiatus you mentioned and most of the reviews were positive. But I do still get why you would put it on the list. It just seems like a more conceptual, experimental piece compared to the rest of their catalog. But you and I are the same age (I discovered based on one of your earlier videos) and it definitely felt like a very substantial somewhat commercial album at the time it came out. Even something as simple as the performance of the title track at the 99 VMAs maybe a few weeks or a month before the album dropped definitely built up the hype, as well as all the magazine articles (back when there were still physical music magazines) 😄
I hear you. Thinking back to that time it was HIGHLY anticipated for sure. And my god that tour was mind blowing to see. I was thinking more about how it's perceived today, by the masses - and through that lens feels under appreciated to me. Only because PHM and Spiral had the bigger, more accessible hits like you said.
I always thought the Montrose album with Sammy Hagar somehow gets occasionally ignored. Such a fantastic album with not much studio trickery or overbearing effects. And Sammy's vocals fit so well with the arrangements. I know Rock Candy gets played a lot but you can't go wrong with that Bonham feel intro and the heavy riffs. Great listen.
Totally agree with you on most selections! Another Black Crows album overlooked is Lions. Great album most people are not aware of. Big thumbs up for RHCP One hot minute. I was one who felt let down by Californication. Janes Strays it felt like they never took a break, so good.
Basically all Gomez albums could be on this list. But if I had to choose one, it would be Split The Difference. Has my favorite Gomez song, “Where Ya’ Going?”
😎 Awesome topic! I'm glad to see Easy Star All-Stars mentioned, I have every album and "Ziggy" on pre-order. "Radiodread" is my favorite of that bunch though.
Great topic and yes agreed about PF Meddle and Down on the Upside! Both too brilliant and forget about! I put Down on the Upside in my Chris Cornell box set! It deserve to be in there along with Euphoria Mourning and Scream!!!
Where do you purchase your sleeves? If you don’t mind my asking, I’m tired of purchasing these big sleeves meant for double LPs because they get a lot of singles and they just don’t fit. Thanks man always love the channel.
Very interesting video GI thank you many good shouts there. Bleach was my very first thought and not only that I thought it would probably be the album that gave you the idea - and then you said it! 😂 One of my very favourites - and arguably their best record i do play it often, possibly only second to Incesticide in that regard which I find myself slinging on all the time that 2LP 45rpm repress sounds phenomenal! Great shout on Meddle it is definitely in my top 3 Floyd albums - I would say along with Animals and DSOTM. Three Snakes - yes you’re talking about me there - I’ve never heard that one despite loving the first 3 albums! I’ll throw some others into the mix starting with ‘Yield’ I think over the years that’s become my favourite - and most listened to PJ album. How about ‘Between the buttons’ it’s one of my favourites of theirs I think that gets overlooked in the Stones’ back catalogue it sits in between their classic early records and their run of amazing albums from ‘Beggars Banquet’ through to ‘Exile on Main Street’. Take care
@@Stuck_in_the_70s Wish I had Yield on vinyl! Nice! I think a lot of Pearl Jam fans jumped ship after some of the more esoteric and low key albums they put out after Vitalogy, and while I like ALL PJ albums, Yield was definitely a return to more aggressive sonics and filled with catchy songwriting and hooks! Eddie's incredible voice simply elevates anything they put out and stellar chemistry of band is always present. Really digging their latest albums as well! Special band and when you put em' on a stage - MAGIC , EVERY TIME OUT! Cheers!
@@treff9226 I’m super pleased to have it on vinyl - I have the first five albums OG presses (I have 2 copies of Ten - the regular European press and the basketball picture disc) I have a couple of live albums (Live on Two legs [Yield tour] and Unplugged) and then I have the most recent 3 on vinyl so I do have some gaps to fill! 100% agree with you. I went to see them live last summer I think it was the 5th time I’ve seen them over the years and they are still as good as ever! Yes I like their recent albums a lot too I hope they continue to release quality albums. I’m not sure of the details but I did see they’ve got a live album coming out for RSD with a Yield-like cover (with the road sign) so will try to pick that one up. Take care cheers
Nirvana's Bleach album is their high point, raw, killer riffs, rocks the hell out! ENERGY! ENERGY! ENERGY! Nasty guitar tones and really very heavy! Great mention!
Great video and very interesting topic! FYI - Jason Everman didn’t actually play on Bleach; he paid the $606.36 so he got included on the jacket but Nirvana was still a three piece. Some other albums here that you call out as being overshadowed are ones I LOVE from those artists like NIN’s The Fragile and MMJ’s Z
I would say that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers followup of Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) to their Southern Accents may have been overshadowed more. Let Me Up was a very good album.
GI, I agree with your take on Three Snakes. But for my money my favorite is “By Your Side”. I think BYS is their last rock album before the Jam band era. I like the jam band stuff too, just don’t see then as rock albums .😊🤓
You could broaden this by bands being overshadowed or overlooked or ignored, for example the great band Family from the late 60’s70’s. They did 7 albums in 5 years. A period when so many bands from that era that had their best albums. This band toured the US but somehow were never that popular as they were in the U.K./Europe. I saw them around 1970 and they were definitely one of the best bands to see live, Roger Chapman has one of the best voices in rock and some critics think he is one of the best ever!
3 Snakes stands with their previous 3 Albums. Tumble Weed Junction Elton John overshadowed by Elton’s run of Gold records during first half of Seventies. I
one hot minute is my fav rhcp album by far :D with that said, im no big rhcp fan in general. but i do love that album. the song one big mob stands out to me as the best on this one :D i think it just comes down to me listening to the album alot when it came out and its nostalgia mixed with this just being an very special album ;D
I'd like to add Stone Temple Pilots forth album, No. 4 from 1997. That album rocks and has a couple great slower numbers in Sour Girl and Atlanta. Scott sounds so much like one of his idols, Jim Morrison, on Atlanta. Great list sir
Jason Everman didn’t actually play on Bleach, he just paid for it to be recorded and is on the front cover. The band never paid him back, but felt the fact he was on the cover was payback enough. He’s no longer credited as guitarist on Bleach, but is given a special thank you in the liner notes. Jason also played in Soundgarden.
The issue I have with Bleach, being an ok album especially given how it was recorded and hosw little means they were able to pu it in, is the over hype that came on it after the passing of Kurt. It was overshadowed at the time but after not so much (the labels wanting to milk as much as possible a band that was done). I like Bleach for its rawness but it has been a little too over hyped afterwards to me.
I can see that. Looking back now, 34 years later, I don't feel it gets near the attention it deserves. I can tell you from my end as far as what people buy and ask for - Nevermind far outweighs Bleach and In Utero. One would think Nevermind is an album everyone already owns, but that's not true, so it still sells a ton.

I would argue Obscured By Clouds is even more overlooked/overshadowed than Meddle in the Pink Floyd discography.

I tapped on "comments" to say the same thing. OBC has some real gems, an album many fans don't even know exists.

I completely agree with you on Floyd’s Meddle!! you can definitely tell where they were going with their music

I own a Nirvana LP titled Fabric Softener.
It's Bleach done acoustic.
Summerteeth my favourite Wilco album. Otherwise most reviewers are too young or don't appreciate some late 60's albums that never get a mention: Dr John, Gris Gris. Taj Mahal. The Insect Trust. Fever Tree, etc.
Fever Tree with one of the best versions of Hey Joe.

Gomez were utter shite, they could and should be passed over by the whole world and its sweaty bollocks.
Dave Navarro also was apart of panic channel which only made one album but it was great
Swingin’ from Echoes was the last MASSIVE radio hit from TP. I loved that song from the moment it came out. Took awhile to get into the whole album…
Such a jam!
😎 Awesome topic! I'm glad to see Easy Star All-Stars mentioned, I have every album and "Ziggy" on pre-order. "Radiodread" is my favorite of that bunch though.
I had no idea Ziggy was coming until someone just pre-ordered it from us. Can't wait to hear that one! Cheers
I also listened to Room at the Top after Tom passed. Great number.

Ahhh I knew my gut was right, and then I read his name on the back and second guessed myself.
Jason Everman has a pretty crazy history from being in Nirvana before they broke, then Soundgarden before they broke, then joining the military
I would say that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers followup of Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) to their Southern Accents may have been overshadowed more. Let Me Up was a very good album.

Meddle!!!! Did we just become best friend!?
I think so. 😜
Meddle is like a compilation album, all songs are singles
I don't agree. Especially on albums from a band like Pink Floyd - where the sum is much greater than the parts.
Well, then, play it alongside "Relics".
Days of the new belong on this list
isn't the show you can't find the name of is Entourage?
Yes!!!! I couldn’t remember it for the life of me.
Did you know nirvana nevermind and chili peppers blood sugar sex magic came out on the same day! I can’t believe how much of impact that must of been!
Yeah just incredible. Timeless albums!
