Breaking Benjamin's first (that I know of) album Saturate. I thought it kicked @$$.

The band Ra (self-title album) was pretty good and recieved little exposure from what I could tell.

Huh, I thought my brother and I were the only ones who listened to Ra... 🙂 It was a really good album for the money (cheap at Target).
 
Pink Floyd - ANIMALS and meddle

everyone you meet always looks to DSOTM, The Wall, and Wish you were here, but never seem to notice these 2 masterpieces

You asked for ALBUM not SINGLES.

They had a some singles that were hits off that album, but the album as a whole was great. Not a lot of people noticed.

umm...Momentary Lapse of Reason?
just thought it was missing from your list

agree with OP on Faith No More, but think that the popular album from them was underappreciated too.

Rancid - 'Lets Go' - unerappreciated compared to 'Out Come the Wolves'

Weezer - 'Green'? - I thought Pinkerton was more underappreciated

the more I think about the topic, there is so much underappreciated music compared to the garbage that is congesting the airwaves today. I'm done with this topic...have to move on.

i see. so a grammy and a few hundred thousand in sales is your standard for unappreciated?

ok my turn. i'll pick an easy one.

eugen mcdaniels - headless heroes of the apocalpyse

sure it got some attention from the heads in the late nineties, but for potentially the greatest record of all time its not enough.
 
Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up the Girl, some awesome songs on there that DON'T include Iris, Slide, or Black Balloon.

Matchbox Twenty - Yourself or Someone Like You

Dude, Breaking Benjamin is my fav band! I love sugarcoat on the first CD
You gotta buy the new CD.. every song rocks.. listen to 'sooner or later' and 'breakdown'.. Good Sh!t.

Ra is good too.. my fav song on the CD is 'sky'.

Wow, I didn't expect anyone to name these two bands, let alone two people naming them both.

I think BB's new cd is awesome, a little more mature than Saturate, but still waiting on a new one from Ra...

I'm curious to know what you all think is the most underappreciated album ever. This should be quite interesting. My personal choice: Faith No More's Angel Dust. If I remember right, it was a commercial failure, but it remains one of the unique in hard rock/metal. If you have never listened to FNM, do not start with that album though.

I agree with you 100%

Album of the Year was also underappreciated...christ, their entire career was underappreciated...I love them though and was lucky enough to see them at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC in 1997...great show...
 
Primus - Pork Soda

It isn't deep and it doesn't expand your mind, but it is damned good music.

I wasn't around when the Grateful Dead's American Beauty came out, but if that wasn't appreciated then I definately change my mind.
 
Hayden - Everything I Long For...not the greatest album in the world but I think this guy should have gotten bigger, I listened to this CD all through High School, it is still on my iPod with his other album 'The Closer I get' and "We Don't Mind" is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
 
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

seems that was the top selling album of the late 70's.....i think 🙂

anyway..good to see people remember LP's 🙂
wish i still had my Double Platinum Kiss...mom threw it out when i went in the USN 🙁
