Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates

"saraya"- female vocal rock group trying to be like pat benetar. formulaic but great guitar runs, and the vocals-
well... and did i mention how attractive she was in black leather??

joan jett and the blackhearts- put another dime in the jukebox baby...

b-52's- rock lobster

Patti Smith

Sean seems you didn't get a response on the Ponty recommendation, Cosmic Messenger is a good 'ol favorite of mine!
Yesterday I played it and went through a little trip to the past McLaughlin Extrapolation, Abercrombie Timeless, Close to the Edge, Selling England by the Pound, Islands and run out of time .....
There's also a two CD set that covers many different albums I also have it but Cosmic I spin more frequently

Any Stiff Records sampler...

Crash Test Dummies.

The lyrics are great and the music ain't bad either. Superman, Ummm, Ummm..., God Shuffled His Feat, etc..., all wonderful songs.
