Suggest one obsure album we all should hear


I love when I discover an album that's new to me, and great.Please share one so we can all broaden our musical horizons.

Mine is:
Wishbone Ash  'Argus'
128x1281111art

@buckroa: A fantastic album, in my all-time Top 10. But I think a fair number of people here know about it.

Less well known is the debut of L.A. Power Pop band The Beat (the Paul Collins led quartet). Have you heard anything by The UK group The Records? Or the s/t debut of Emitt Rhodes? How ’bout Marshall Crenshaw? The Rubinoos? For a blast of high-energy Pop, listen to their "I Wanna be Your Boyfriend". Electrifying! And if you haven’t heard it, Shake Some Action by The Flamin’ Groovies, produced by Dave Edmunds at Rockfield Studios in Wales.

Neil Diamond:  Stones

old album, and short but sweet... don't knock it til you've heard it

Here’s a list of a few of my favorites that I suspect may be less well known:

Balalaika Favorites - Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra

Ceremonial Music for Trumpet & Symphonic Organ - Michael Murray

A Life of Tango - Alfredo Marcucci

Looking for You - Allan Taylor

Gloria - Gabor Boldoczki

Italian Concertos - Gabor Boldoczki

Stand Ye Steady: Songs of Courage and Inspiration - USMA Cadet Glee Club

Christmas Classics with Harp and Oboe

Imax Everest Soundtrack

 

For people that don’t listen to religious artist these might be of interest anyways:

A Drummer Boy Christmas - For King & Country

Burn the Ships - For King & Country

What are We Waiting for? For King & Country

How Can it Be? - Lauren Daigle

 

 

JASON FALKNER:  "CAN YOU STILL FEEL?"

Jason was the guitarist on the Jellyfish breakout album "BELLYBUTTON" and has several solo albums, but this album is a power pop masterpiece and his debut album,

"PRESENTS  AUTHOR UNKNOWN",  is another interesting power pop gem. This guy is worth a listen!

@audioman74: In case you are a Jason Faulkner completist and don't know about it: Before Jellyfish, Faulkner was in a group named The Grays, who had one album on Epic Records. I heard it when it was released, but didn't like it enough to buy.

Fellow Grays member Jon Brion of course went on to become a well known producer (Aimee Mann, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple, soundtracks---including the great film Hard Eight).
