Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

Everyone should experience CRACK THE SKY unfortunately because of their label, it nearly impossible to get their early stuff. If you come Across the first Three albums, "Animal Notes" "Safety in Numbers" and the "Live" album you will be forever changed.

Elend - The Umbersun
Al di Meola - Cielo e Terra

I will suggest two:

VHS or Beta - "Bring on the Comets"  A pop masterpiece.

The Essence - "Nothing Lasts Forever"  An incredible moody album with great hooks.  The DJ who exposed me to it labeled it as the best breakup album ever.

Rather than an album I’ll suggest a group.  Cue up anything by Infected Mushroom.

David Foreman on Arista 1976. Some may remember the only single, "Smokey China Tea". Just played after recovering stored albums. Still great.
