Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates


Any of you have favourites that were rejected by reviewers and / or the public in general ? Well, here's your chance to bare your soul and plead your case before the Audiogon Court of Jesters : )

How about discs that you love even though the recordings are decidedly "lo-fi" ? Bootleg's don't really count, but you can list them anyhow : ) Sean

Procol Harum, Dylan, Nick Cave....everyone leaves the room (and good riddance!)
Actually, most of Costello's work up through at least "Imperial Bedroom" was critically adored and sold fairly well. The first album has a much different sound than those that followed, but the backing band was also different too. Of his records that I like (especially the first three), I enjoy the sound (see the current thread The Finest Technically Recorded Album for my take/tirade on why audiophilic considerations shouldn't necessarily apply to rock productions.)
I have an impression that a lot of Joan Siberrry's fans hate When I Was a Boy. I think it's brilliant and the only album of hers I have heard that I really love.
none of my friends understand why I love the album"Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel "A Closer Look"
It must be 30 years ago I bought the first LP by New York punk band "the Dictators". Once in a while I still listen to it.
