LET'S ARGUE: The Most Underrated Albums of All Time 

It’s a bit early to make a list of the most underrated albums of all time. Shouldn’t you wait until time is over first?

There’s a reason he reviews music and not graphic t shirts

i like how people with names like "charlie xcx uwu xoxoxo" show out with the most esoteric, noisy, jazz influenced hiphop reccomendations

16:34 渋さ知らズ ⭐️ 18:06 フィッシュマンズ 🐟

My grandma has that same shirt. Now that I think about it... I've never seen her or Fantano in the same room...

I think you should make a video about: Most Overhated Albums

velocity: design: comfort by sweet trip is so fucking underated and the album cover is amazing

First listened to Black on Both Sides this year. It was my first exposure to Mos Def and it's already become a top 10 if not top 5 hip hop record

Realistically the most underrated album of all time wouldn't even be rated enough to get on a video like this

"I hate being Biracial its awesome" -Logic, 2069

0:11 Radiohead: Planet Telex

Audioslave's debut album is one of my favorite rock albums of all time, but grossly underappreciated. It's one of the rare examples of albums from which every track could be a hit.

okay but this is literally the first time i hear Anthony saying anything about Guns'n'Roses ever

I know nostalgia critic’s The Wall is criminally underrated, but calling it the most underrated album of the decade?

"Scott 4" by Scott Walker. HOW is it not more famous? Genius album that sounds like it came out yesterday (I think it's from 1969).

Your commentary re: Mos Def was so painfully on point. I saw BOBS on this list & thought "CAN'T be underrated." I'm 42. Now I get how that's a Thing.

"Not Underated, but Overhated" is a t-shirt slogan if I ever heard one.

shawn cee’s unreleased album doesn’t count wtf

How has it taken me so long to find this guy, he seems super thoughtful.

Atom Heart Mother definitely is the most underrated. Summer 68 and Fat old sun are classics, even if is really good. But it was the perfect middle ground between the early stuff and what Floyd did on Meddle.

Anthony: tell me the most underrated albums of all time r/PinkFloydCircleJerk: I was born to do this

"not as epic as late reg or college dropout..." say it, say it... "..or even mbdtf" hell yeah dude

The Mollusk by Ween (the guys that did Ocean Man), that album is fantastic but it doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it deserves

thanks for introducing me to Mos Def! I used to only really listen to modern hip hop music, but you've introduced me to tons of old-school rappers, so now I listen to a mix of 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and 20's

The takes be sounding like that Huey Lewis American Psycho scene

The New CALassic is a criminally underrated mixtape and should’ve gone at least triple platinum

Electric Light Orchestra’s Discovery was pretty much universally panned by critics at the time and I think a lot of people think it’s cheesy but I love every single track. It is also a huge influence on Daft Punk.

I'm just gonna have to mention my favorite album of all time here: Honeysuckle Strange by Howlin' Maggie. It got some critical attention for a very short while after its release in 1996, and a few of the tracks got some indie and alt-rock radio play, but its themes of self-destructive behavior, industry bullshit, frustration, and mental health are well-executed and eternal. If you are reading this, there is a chance you have possibly heard either "Alcohol" or "I'm a Slut", but I'd implore anyone with even a passing interest in 90's alt-rock to give the album a full listen as it is a masterclass in cohesion of the seemingly disparate elements of grit and haunting.

Trick question, the most underrated albums of all time wouldn't actually make the list of most underrated albums of all time

We all know that the most underrated album is Neutral Milk Hotel's "To Pimp A Butterfly"

Red Medicine by Fugazi definitely seems to get less love for an inexplicable reason. One of their best in my opinion.

Melon needs to review fishmans

it seems like it hurts Melon to even day "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"

NOBODY that really knows hip hop underrates The Mighty Mos Def.

I always thought that Neurosis as a metal band have always been underrated. I feel like their songs and albums deserve millions and millions of listeners but they don’t. Their album Through Silver in Blood is a real classic. One of the heaviest and darkest albums ever and I think, one of the best metal albums of all time. A lot of people love them, but I still think they deserve more recognition in the metal scene as they basically created post-metal single handedly

I would love to see this series broken down into genres. There’s a big opportunity for everyone to listen to some new music

The bass intros are underrated

Let’s argue: Melon’s head shines like a thousand suns

0:11 I thought Radiohead- Planet Telex was going to start

Mos def and plies were my introductions to the polar opposite sides of hip hop and what made me fall in love with the genre. I was pretty young when I was going wild on this stuff.

Everybody knows Abbey Road Anthony, stop calling it underrated

If any Kid Cudi album is underrated, It’s Satellite Flight.

I've been Listening to Soviet kitsch and I really enjoy Regina's sonic complements to the lyrics.

Black On Both Sides is imo one of the few flawless hip hop albums. As someone who is most familiar with hip hop and not other genres, this was a gap in my 90s knowledge and holy is this thing amazing. I think I could name maybe 10-15 flawless hip hop albums and this would be one. Genius album

Big problem with Ye is that almost immediately after it dropped he released Kids See Ghosts so a lot of they hype went that way instead (and Deservedly so)

Anthony’s saving that yellow flannel for NAV’s “Good Intentions” next week😤👌🔥

“Wolf Song for Lambs” and also their EP “Tremble Under Boomlights” by Jonathan Fire*Eater, are the most underrated records of all time

Sparklehorse in general is underrated, but I’d love to give some shine to their debut Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot (1995). It’s a versatile, emotionally potent, lo-fi masterpiece.

Melon, I don’t think every Kendrick Lamar album is the most underrated

LET’S ARGUE: Anthony’s tiger shirt is the hottest thing ever

Deceit by This Heat: it's noisy and abrasive as hell but as a soundtrack for nuclear armageddon (and any other sort of armageddon) it really works. SPQR, Cenotaph, and New Kind of Water all are awesome in very different way.

3:03 AGREED. THERE WAS A TIME in particularly is in their top 5 songs written at ANY era.

Give a man a melon, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to melon, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Seeing somebody with this level of influence talking about Fishmans makes me incredibly happy. Over the last year or so I've become a bit of a fanatic and nobody who I've ever discussed music with has even heard of them. They've definitely got some of the most underrated albums out there

Avantdale Bowling Club's self-titled debut may be some of the best live tonal jazz instrumentation to ever grace a hip hop project. Sharpest Tool in the Shed by Bambu seemed to fly under the radar for even a lot of his own fans considering it has some of the harded bars and beats ever dropped by any Filipino mc. And idek where to start on Gist Is by Adult Jazz

Humbug by Arctic monkeys is my favourite of theirs and I think criminally underrated for me. The musicianship, trippy concepts and as a drummer. The best drumming from them.

So happy you finally talked about Fishmans. Their version of “In the Air” on that live album is my favorite song of all time, just absolutely astonishing

Let’s argue: Melon kinda looks like light skinned bald juice wrld

Jellyfish Spilt Milk is the most overlooked, underrated pop record of all time. It deserves a full review, by you. A band that imploded before they had a chance. This album needs some love.

Cruel Melody by Black Light Burns I feel is really underrated. I feel like most people have no idea about Wes Borland's side projects and he definitely is one of the most underrated guitarist out there. Such a great rock album and I really wish they would release some new music soon. I'm pretty sure whatever they're working on they have Travis Barker on the drums for so I really wanna hear that shit

I've never in my life heard someone speak ill of Black on Both Sides.

Anthony, I didn't think you were going to rate my family's 2005 holiday party photo album as the most underrated album of all time. But honestly I'm flattered. You can definitely come thru this year bro, HMU if you're in the area!

It was a mixtape, but Young L's As I Float is still incredibly underrated to me even tho it got some love at time. Perfectly curated, beautiful beats that really perfected that cloud rap vibe and simple but meaningful bars. Very underrated artist in general, super unique and naturally artful. Crazy that both him and Lil B started off in the Pack

Yasiin Bey aka Mo's Def definitely deserves MORE flowers while he's still with us. I do wish he'd make more hip-hop even if it was independentally. Purpose? I'd say to educate the youth. But he seems pretty far gone from music nowadays. I get it. He was never gonna play the industry game in the long run but you can do your own thing independentally and fans will always support. Another Black Star album would be insane if that ever happened.

Part of me wants to have your centrist and reasonable take on Fishmans, and I definitely think overhyping is in itself a problem. But damn, this band is probably the only time I've ever legitimately agreed with any music circle's niche obsession. No other band gives me such a life affirming feeling.

Let's Argue: Melon should do a classic review of 'Long Season' next year

Honestly the live performances of KDots Untitled are just so much better. Before TPAB and Kendrick was doing one off full band performances of these rap/jazz/beat nick stuff, I was so hyped just to see him dip his toes into that. Untitled on the old Colbert Report is just so amazing. I love that it exists as it does, and it’s awesome for someone like Kendrick to have tapped into that. Hope we get something like that again

I think some of hella's early live stuff is just mind blowing. Throwing Primus, Squarepusher and a Smiths like sound in the mix just puts his later works into perspective.

Morphine’s entire discography is criminally underrated when compared to the rising stars and one-hit wonders of the early 90s.

cant believe MBDTF is underrated

Most underrated albums: *Kanye* Smh

Deadringer was definitely the thing I was thinking about as well and would probably have dropped myself. It's the only one I can think of that I really really like and isn't as known among people I talk to as I wish it were. It may be my lack of experience in the rap/hip hop field in general, but I find it an invigorating listen every time. It's either that or Roger Glover's massive joint-project rock opera "The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast", but truth be told, I have no idea what kind of reputation that one has. It was just something I borrowed from a library once and has been one of my absolute favorites for years now. Other than that, while I definitely have albums I like alot that either get ignored or dissed, none of them I can really argue are underrated, because they deserve some if not all they get in those case. I like Dio's "Lock Up the Wolves" quite alot, but if I were to loan an album for someone to get into the band, this is not the one I'm picking. I actually really dig Black Sabbath's "Born Again" for it's trashy aesthetic, but trashy is precisely the word and isn't really something I can safely recommend. I wish people talked more about "Carolina County Ball" by Elf, but as far as Ronnie James' career is concerned, Elf isn't even close to his most noteworthy stuff. FIREPOWER by Judas Priest has some of Priest's best chops to date, but I feel like that is widely acknowledged by the people this information is relevant to in this post "death of rock/metal" era.

I just got into fishmans like a few weeks ago!! They should be more popular in the West

The guy with the Weezer take has likely been in a coma since 1996. Literally no one thinks Pinkerton is underrated.

That bassline was fucking gorgeous my man Hope that someone get to sample it someday

I'll add one that doesn't get talked about enough: Electric Circus by Common It was dismissed upon release because people just weren't ready for that type of sonic experimentation in Hip Hop in the 21st century - even though people praised Andre 3k for doing the same thing on The Love Below only a year later (smh). Same thing Kanye did all of last decade (from Yeezus to TLOP) was what Common and Dilla were doing with that album. Yes, it lead to his Magnus Opus (Be), but it's a shame he never made another album like it, considering that sound is all the rage now.

Never thought I'd see melon talk about Fishmans.

i didn’t expect miley cyrus and her dead petz to be on here and you agreeing on it being underrated but i understand

I remember someone saying they skipped your bass intro and that makes me sad bc I love it every time

Bet no one knows/ remembers this but, Blue Scholars’ 2004 album: The Blue Scholars It’s one of the most consistent, unique, meaningful, and impressive albums I’ve heard. It’s got vibe and enthusiasm for both people. Deserves more recognition

The silent hill 2 OST is incredibly underrated. One of the best ambient records and videogame soundtracks of all time

For anyone wondering what Melon was singing at the Patreon section, the track is Kiss Me, Son of God by They Might Be Giants.

Personally prefer Mesh and Lace to Unknown Pleasures. Love it's very gritty and experimental tone to it and I feel it's much more consistent than Unknown Pleasures. But I really love both a lot.

Cardiacs Sing To God is one of the best and most underrated albums of all time, Odd Even, nurses whispering verses and Dog like sparky are great tunes in there, although all of them kinda are

If Fishmans had songs on that live album that were just straight up reggae, I’d understand finding it unimpressive. But all of the reggae influenced songs on that album have been put through a psychedelic, progressive dreamy filter and that’s what makes them stand out and interesting

Yeeeeeee Fishmans made it to the channel. Anyway, i was like Fantano and dismissed the reggae tracks at first but the more i listened to the album (aswell as hearing their other stuff that wasn’t Long Season or Uchu Nippon Setagaya) the more the reggae or rather dub tracks started growing on me hard. There is something about the playfulness of songs like Thank You or Hikouki that just gets me going. But overall tho, i am one of those people who think 98.12.28 is the best live album of all time. Not only for it being the last performance by Fishmans but also because every song just hits a chord with you. Whether it be the dreamy tracks like Night Cruising and In the Flight or the more expansive epics like Yurameki in the Air and Long Season. This album will always hold a special place in my heart and seeing it get more recognition outside of RYM and /mu/ makes me very happy. Sorry if i was overdoing it with the gushing. I’m just so in love with this album.

Personally I have a feeling that the whole Lake of Tears discography is underrated and somewhat overlooked, but their original send-off album The Neonai is overlooked even in the community. Recorded as a final album in the contract termination deal with their then label, Black Mark, it was basically recorded by frontman Daniel Brennare alone, with the help of synths and drum machines. The result was a trippy, somber, sometimes heavy, but mostly incredibly emotional adventure through a sugar coated, decaying fantasy land. As much as I love A Crimson Cosmos, it is well received and even relatively well known. Another album I could consider underrated is Swans' The Burning World. Fans of the band are quick to give it flak for ditching industrial elements and the noise, saying that it doesn't sound like Swans and so on and so forth… But. The hypnotic nature of their music is still very much there (the strings on Let It Come Down are mesmerizing, yet no one, NO ONE talks about that track), this, in my opinion, is the album Gira found his voice on, and I will stand on the position that, without The Burning World, we wouldn't get The Great Annihilator, Soundtracks for the Blind, Seer, and so on. Plus, it's an even better introducing to Swans than The Great Annihilator; I would know because I got introduced to Swans through it, and it showed me that there's more to them than just abrasive, violent, no holds barred noise rock they're known on certain places on the internet for.

Sybyr (FKA Syringe) - Hellhorse is a criminally overlooked record and an inimitable blueprint for the evolution of hip hop

Mos Def's "The Ecstatic" is also such an amazing album. Especially the track "Auditorium". A real legend of Hip-Hop.

Kid Cudi's "Passion Pain & Demon Slayin'" is severely underrated

As much as people loved to hate Limp Bizkit, their debut album is insane and immensely underrated. The riffs by Wes Borland, the funky basslines of a then teen Sam Rivers along with his cousin John Otto with some tight drumming. Sam & John studied jazz in college and you can really tell, the groove, tightness and allround instrumental prowess is really something most people haven't discovered since they hate the band solely because of Fred Durst and the fact that they've only heard Rollin' and Nookie.

Going straight for Shibusashirazu's Shibuboshi. Thanks.

Criminally underrated album: The Cure - Seventeen Seconds

Blu & Exile - Below The Heavens: most underrated rap album of all time.

*One of the most underrated albums of all time, has to be, Pete Rock's - INI : Center of Attention.*

Hottest of takes: Sam's Town by the Killers has aged just as well as In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Easily my pick for Most Underrated. I've spent over a decade waiting for it to get the recognition it deserves.

Hey Anthony, just waiting to hear back from you about your request to join our D&D campaign. I think your character, Richard Strongshorts the Barbarian, would be a great addition to our party! Love to hear back from you. Thanks

Let’s agree: Anthony looks like he’s auditioning to be Joe Exotic’s next husband

The most obscure and yet imo underrated album I’ve listened to in a while is Mariposa by Felly. Almost every track I enjoy and can pull things from. It’s got good themes and sounds. It’s not perfect but for what it is I think it’s severely underrated and I never see people even so much as mention it.

Atom Heart Mother (and More, for that matter) is always written off as just 60's psych Floyd, too reminiscent of Saucerful of Secrets, but there are some really groundbreaking tracks on that album that I see correlate to Pink Floyd's heyday; they employ Rick Wright's vocals on "Summer '68" (which they went on to do on the also criminally underrated Obscured by Clouds and on the famous "Time"), Gilmour shows his psychedelic guitar chops on "Fat Old Sun" and "If" (the same guitar heard on "Money" and "Sheep," for example), and they can make epic swaths of sound (the title suite and "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" definitely played a role in the band's progression to "Echoes" and then DSOTM). Everyone says Meddle is the "turning point" for the band, but I think it was Atom Heart Mother.
