Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates

I'm with Zaikes here; most of the stuff I listen to was never reviewed. The vast majority of music lovers out there have never heard of, most what is in my LP collection.

I am still learning about so many lost treasures. Who needs contemporary music. With so much old GREAT 30 year+ stuff out there, 69/74 seems to be magic for me.

Suzanne Vega - first album

Elvis Costello - Almost Blue

Xiekitchen,
You post made me pull out my copy of "Close to the Edge" today. After a thorough cleaning on the machine, you're right: HARSH! However, the emotional ties to my youth associated with that album, seeing them live on the tour supporting that album, made listening to it bearable. How I wish someone would get a hold of the tapes, and reissue that thing in 180 - 200g vinyl.

Hello Slipknot1: I have the MFSL 1/2 speed pressing, the best there is of this thing.. get one of these on ebay.. but you'll pay.. or try a mint copy UK pressing. My UK pressings of yes are better than domestic and Japan's.
