All that you can't leave behind U2 ..So many great songs! I believe this is so underrated but also on a personal level I lost my cousin in a motorbike accident a few months before this album came out , he was a great U2 fan . So much songs fitted how I felt at the time, Stuck , Walk on, and most of all Kite gets me in the feels every time.
Other albums
Sneaker Pimps ....Becoming X
Police ....Zenyatta Mondatta

Celebrity Skin by Hole. Never got a lookin due to all the Nirvana weirdos. Worse than Levellers fans.

Anything by Madonna in the early-mid 90s (except the Dick Tracy album).

All three albums by the Sundays.

One Red Hot Minute by the chilies.

Everything the Archie Bronson Outfit and Black Milk.

The first two Horrors albums as well.

Just one of those albums that i could listen to over and over, and yet I personally dont know anyone else who had the album.


Feeling Strangely Fine - Semisonic.

I seem to remember it being slightly popular when it first came out, but I dont feel it got the accolades it deserved and therefore was completely underrated, especially here in the UK. Solid album start to finish, with some notable songs.

Newly oot courtesy of Kent Records, and arrived in today's mail I must have at least 35% of the tracks on 7" singles somewhere in the cobwebbit vaults of Vintage Acres.

The best soul compilation since the three Stax box sets.

I loved that Semisonic album!


Either/Or by Elliott Smith.

Bit of a tragic life the boy had! But what a song writer.

Ah've long been a big fan o' the massively underrated 'Oysterband' .... tae be fair, their 'underratedness' has a lot tae dae wi them 'explorin' and experimentin over 40 odd years!! .... but that's fit Ah like aboot them .... they could hae built a fan base by 'regurgitating' the stuff they were doin in the mid tae late 80s ... but they continued tae develop, evolve and enjoy.

Ah recently found ths album Ah didna realise existed .... and it's nowadays on repeat play.

Some good stuff in here which will give me witching hour Spotify listening material for months.

Definitions of hip and unhip are given, so even if your favourites (Free, Family, Kevin Rowland, Kevin Ayers in my case) have records listed, it validates your unhipness. Some right ****ing editing and typographical clunkers, like, which grate a little [it’s Paul RoDgers of Free - not Rogers FFS].

Best of all, at 99p, Amazon, for whom tax seems to be an inconvenience, will be making **** all, or thereby, from it.
