Most overlooked LPs in the last 20 years

20 years is a long time, but one LP that sticks out in my mind is Zooropa by U2. I just remember all the fuss surrounding it and I think it was overlooked mainly because most people thought of it as techno trash.

I can't believe the number of posts I've had censored in comparison.

Slaw, you seem to have taken a difference of opinion on a subject and turned it into a personal affront. That's not what was intended.

When someone talks about "overlooked" music albums, I tend to think of material that is bit further off the beaten path than The Pretenders. Even the Rolling Stones have some albums that have sold better than others, but I wouldn't call any of those overlooked either.

As others have noted, when one is in a discussion on a public internet forum, the subject can quickly take on a life of its own. There are just certain inherent risks when one throws out a topic for discussion,

Hope your day improves.

Tis a sticky subject because for me if an album by an artist
has been overlooked it seems that the artist is not popular
with the masses, the Rolling and a Stones have always been
popular with old die hards (I am not a fan), whereas an artist that I really do like (Emilie Autumn) as an example is probably an artist many on here have not even heard of and therefore an overlooked artist with overlooked cd's, sadly, very sadly indeed. Then again I prefer for the most part artists' that are more underground and not approved by the masses than the usual mega groups of old and present day.

The post reads "Most overlooked"... maybe it would be safe to say as an example that Led Zeppelin Presence (which has some of their best guitar and drum stuff on it) is more overlooked than Houses of the Holy. The first Patto and Trettioariga Kriget records are not weak when compared to any Zep record, guess which records are more overlooked. Hundreds of similar examples are out there. It's as real as gravity, no Zep or Pretenders records make the cut in a rational list of the most overlooked recordings in the last 20 years, (ok, sorry the above records are more like 30 to 35 years old).
