Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of

I prefer threads that talk about music than gear...and here is one. I assume everybody has a "go to"LP in their collection. A record that has formed a deep connection. A record you are protective of. A record you want to keep to yourself. A record so personal it hurts to reveal. For me it is... the Church...the Blurred Crusade.

I also have "excitable boy" which I assume u have as well...and Linda Ronstadt covered "Carmelita" and "poor pitiful me"...which probably gave Zevon some nice royalties... Ironic his signature tune was "werewolves often London" which according to legend was a half-baked idea that came together rather quickly.

lots of great picks, though i'd agree that many aren't especially obscure (who needs rules, right?). a few more:
love nut, bastards of melody--a power pop masterpiece with really big hooks and tight playing. great cover of "green tambourine". (the principal's subsequent band, myracle brah, is also excellent, if overly beatle-esque). available on spotify.
the neats, crash at crush--intense, loud folk rock not too far removed from rem. the singer has a really deep, cool voice. i've never seen this stuff on cd, but well worth tracking down.
