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

Paul McCartney, Give my Regards to Broadstreet was panned by the critics. granted, the movie wasn't great, but the songs are 80's pop perfection--witness "No More Lonely Nights." A great tune!

The MFSL of Close to the Edge is a great sounding disc IMS. In fact it sounds quite tubey and i love to crank it up. Go to BETTER RECORDS website,I believe they were saying someone is going to be re doing some of these in 200 gram pressings.

I love a CD called King Missle III / Failure. This CD is more reciting observations with music in the background. I have 3 CD's by this group and I enjoy them all. They had a regional hit with Detachable Penis back in 1992 and that Cd was pretty good. They followed it up with the self titled King Missle which I liked but it was now more observations with music in the background and as far sales go it died on the vine. This Cd is the same way but you can hear the dismay and frustration in the voice of the orator that they had it all and let it slip away. This Cd is recorded very well kinda like modern beat generation music. Quirky and funny worth grabbing if you see it in the cut out bin.
