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.

Joe Cocker... A Luxury You Can Afford

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.

Wow the Neats!...brings back memories...one of Boston's great enigmas..."another broken dream" from their debut LP has a killer bass line...also like label mates the Lyres...another forgotten band from this era...the Broadcasters

the lyres were fantastic-- the frontman was genuinely demented. i dug all the boston bands of that era--the real kids, the neighborhoods (whose "high hard one" would fit nicely on this forum), mission of burma (who are still around), volcvano suns...
