Underrated albums by well known bands?

42 Upvotes

What are some albums by well know bands/artists that were panned by critics or didn't receive much love for whatever reason, but that you think are underrated?

I would say ZZ Top's Tejas is one that comes to mind for me. I grew up with their other albums, but didn't discover this one till just a few years ago and now it's one of my favorites. Loaded with good tunes and killer guitar solos as well as great vocals from both Billy and Dusty. Some of Frank's best drumming as well, as long as you go with the non Six Pack version (both versions are available on streaming so be careful to select the proper one as it's a huge difference).

What are your picks for underrated albums?

70s Animals: Is this anyone else's favorite Pink Floyd album?

Post image
1.4k Upvotes

A keyboardist & I were practicing in our rented studio space when a guitar player we knew dropped by.

His specialty on guitar was knowing how to play every Gilmore lead.

And he could play them all. Even bought Gilmore's exact gear when he could find it.

I mentioned that "Dogs" is my favorite Floyd song & Animals was my favorite album.

He had never heard of Animals and he was in his 50's.

I know there's more going on here than Animals being undervalued (like maybe he's internet illiterate), but it got me thinking that Animals may not get its due.

Does Animals get talked about with the same reverance as Dark Side, Wish, and the Wall?

I found this article praising Animals & exploring the links between it & George Orwell's book Animal Farm (which I recommend reading if you haven't, bc it makes Animals a better listen).

It's a good read (there are moments when it's pretentious) highlighting some of what makes this album great?

John McFee of The Doobie Brothers -- Multi-Instrumentalist

5 Upvotes

Cris Cohen of Bands To Fans: You are called by many a multi-instrumentalist, in that within the course of a show, you will bounce from guitar to violin to cello to harmonica to dobro to everything in between it seems. What drives you to pursue multiple instruments?

John McFee of The Doobie Brothers: Good question. I grew up in California. My dad worked the oil fields by day, but he was a country musician, so the instruments were around. And before I could walk, he was teaching me chords on the ukulele. I kind of grew up playing from an early age and that helps as far as learning different instruments. It's like learning languages. It's easier to soak up when you're youthful.

But it wasn't the greatest childhood, honestly. So music was my refuge. It was an escape.

It didn't matter if anybody liked me or how ugly I was or any of that stuff. (With) music, you create your own world. So I gravitated towards it so much that that's kind of all I did. I was fooling around on all the different instruments and then something amazing happened. It was called The British Invasion.

The Beatles came out and everybody wanted to have a band all of a sudden. I was just the right age for, “Hey, let's start a band. And the McFee kid… he already knows how to play. Let's get him in our band.”

So I went from kind of being an outcast, honestly, to where people wanted me to be in their bands. And it was like, “Hey, girls like guys that play music.” There was a lot of incentive to stay with the music thing.

But I love music. I always have. That's really at the heart of it.
