Great lost albums
 

Of each decade

You know the kind that you think are amazing but seem to get lost in the critical shuffle. What are yours?

Mine:

1960s - Disraeli Gears

1970s - Television - Adventure

1980s - Throwing Muses (first)

1990s - Cows - Sexy Pee Story

2000s - STNNNG - Fake Fake

60s - The Red Crayola - Parable Of Arable Land

70s - can't think of one... give me a minute..

80s - Void/Faith split

90s - Love Battery - Dayglo or anything by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282

Could not agree more.

90's -Jawbox, For Your Own Special Sweetheart

60s - bull of the woods ( 13th floor elevators)
70s - gli dei se ne vanno gli arrabbiati restano (area)
80s - hope against hope (band of susans)
90s - dance hall at louse point (john parish + p.j. harvey)
00s - the fall of math (65daysofstatic)

i thought this would be a thread about albums that never came would like beach boys "smile" (i know), so i will make a list of those:

supposedly dennis wilson recorded a record that never came out called "bamboo".

john fahey's unreleased "the nut house" and "azalea city memories".

syd barrett's post-"barrett" LP truely lost masters.

Neil Young: "Live 1970", "Homegrown", "Chrome Dreams", "Island In The Sun", "Old Ways (I)", "Times Square" (damn, neil...)

etc...

I would have said 'Smile', too.

I think the Muffs were/are pretty good, and nobody ever seems to talk about them.

one last laugh in a place of dying: the god machine
headzcleaner: gerling

lemonheads - the creator

1980s - Plux Quba by Nuno Canavarro. Really great electronic experiments.

My favorite "lost in the shuffle" albums

afghan whigs - UP IN IT, and GENTLEMEN


unsane - UNSANE

I think I might have to replace Disraeli Gears with Their Satanic Majesties' Request (even though I don't have a real copy of the latter, yet).

60s - xhol caravan _Mother Fuckers GMBH_

70s - German Oak (self-titled)

80s - this kind of punishment _a beard of bees_

90s - angel'in heavy syrup _I_ (or II, III or IV)

00s - Jim Collins (S/T)

I can only think of this one right now.I big inspiration on Bjork,apparently.

What is that Pork?

A mess of an album.I've picked it up from a bin for only 50p not knowing that not only a snippet of it would be used on one of the first adverts for 'The Crazy Frog' ringtones but Bjork would be inspired by it while recording her Vespertine album.Imagine being tuned into a german radio run by hepitits patients and you get an idea.One of the strangest records i rave my buttocks to.

From the 60's, Soft Machine-Volume 1 and 2. Soooo good.

You know the cover alone gives me this feel. Something I should seek out?

Wel,you are another one addicted to weirdsville so i'm 100% sure that you'd love this record.I could write more about it but i'm tired and can only offer hints.

Sam Most - Flute Flight

Most doesn't have anything in print or even on CD

Gumball - Super Tasty

one of the best albums i have ever heard, most people don't remember it

Gumball where ever so appaling it is appaling to even think they existed.

one of the best albums i have ever heard, most people don't remember it
Rightly so.

I'm trying, but I can't think of a 'lost' album. Maybe, 20 Jazz Funk Greats by TG? Thats always been my favorite but everyone else seems to hate it.

hot...on...the heels...of looooooooovvvvve

yeah but are they really "lost"... but definitely some of the greatest records ever! too bad they became so boring after those... well, third's ok but the rest... boring!

okay, i guess not completely lost. but for how great they are, i think they deserve more recognition than they get. I bet most people here have never heard those records, im talking most, not all. It's more of a british thing i think, im over here in america, and no one knows them really. and yeah, the later ones are a little too "jazz" for me. but the 3rd one is good still.

fairport convention - unhalfbricking

I saw gumball open up for dinosaur jr back in th4e day. worst band ever

I have this one. Wonderful music.

You should hear them now. Not that good anymore.

I would never call this lost. It's one of the most influential hardcore records made!

As for albums that I worship, but barely anyone seems to know.

Dis- - the historically troubled third album
Raymond brake - never work, ever
Crownhate ruin - Until the eagle grins
Dolomite - of the angels
ripping corpse - Dreaming of the dead
Motive - I vs the beckoning of darkness

probably more, but I cant really think right now

60s: Tim Buckley - Happy sad
70s: Tim Buckley - Starsailor
80s: The Cure - Disintegration
90s: The Notwist - Shrink

Coroner - Grin (1993)
Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels (1983)
The Sisters Of Mercy - Floodland (1987)

I don't understood why The Swirlies' Blonder Tongue Audio Baton doesn't get more love.

i'm not cool enough to list "decades" but as far as albums i never really hear anyone mention as being amazing...

brainiac - hissing prigs in static couture
darth vegas - it came from beyond
dazzling killmen - face of collapse
gastr del sol - serpentine similiar
invincible czars - gods of convenience
loveliescrushing - blowneyelashawish
mr. bungle - disco volante [debatable, since a lot of people love this, but i remember this getting a ZERO in nme and not many people mention it as being that incredible, though it is easily one of the best albums EVER]
naked raygun - jettison
polvo - today's active lifestyles
six finger satellite - [any]
slowdive - pygmalion
space streakings - 7 toku
sunny day real estate - lp2
swervedriver - mezcal head
swirlies - blonder tongue audio baton [this was the first album i thought of when i saw this thread; love you, pbradley!!]
vicious hairy mary - orchestral phantasm

i know there's a million more but my brain is farting. it smells bad too. xinlisupreme is awesome btw.

brainiac's a good call, too

I should have added Treasure in my list for the 80s. As for the 60s, I'll add Scott Walker - Scott 4.

Seefeel - Quique !!

the fugs-first two albums

me too. really really great album:cool:

I need to get this. They spent their wild youthful days and what to do about them are incredible!
