Unpopular Albums That You Like?

[Riff Raff]

Problem with Fly On The Wall and Blow Up Your Video is their production really. I like the songs on them but Fly On The Wall lacked real quality that Flick of the Switch had and Blow Up Your Video sounded a little sterile in the mix. The Razors Edge and Ballbreaker are definitely better and more popular albums same with Stiff Upper Lip. Glad you love the Brian era too it definitely cops too much flack.

A very good company, I've done business with them and they are first class.

I saved the link, thank you.

On Rocka Rolla I don't think that album was unpopular compared to the likes of Turbo or Demolition. Those 2 albums garner plenty of disdain but Rocka Rolla just seems to be under rated or under the radar more than anything.

Fall Out Boy.........
Only pop punk I actually like.

I also thoroughly enjoy AC/DCs Blow Up Your Video as well as U2.

I too like Blow up your video, though mainly because of 'Two's up' one of my most favourite DC songs. blows me away everytime.
love 'In through the out door' tho i never thought of it as unpopular before.

Picked up a copy of "Octave" a couple weeks back at Free Cloud records, played it and it's in great shape. This one got a lot of "stick" from critics who hated it, it didn't really do very well sales wise for the Moodies either, who were in turmoil at this point in their career.

But I like this album and always have, Stepping in the Slide Zone is one of my fave Moody Blue's songs.

^ I agree. Octave is almost as good as the first seven classic albums. Steppin' in a Slide Zone deserves to be on their best of compilations.

Probably unpopular through many Zep fans but I agree that album is enjoyable.

Albums like Never Say Die while I still from an objective stance think its a poor album it is one that kind of grew on me a bit.

Metallica Load and Reload have grown on me a lot actually because back in the day I judged them too often compared to their earlier classics but as blues rock type albums they actually pack some real underrated gems on them such as King Nothing, Unforgiven II, Better Than You, Fixxxer, Until it Sleeps, Mama Said, Fuel, Carpe Diem baby, Bleeding Me. I don't like The Memory Remains or Low Man's Lyric at all though.
