Big Star - “#1 Record” Classic rock you could swear you’ve heard before but probably haven’t cause it had no radio play in its day.
Os Mutantes - “Os Mutantes” What if The Beatles were Brazilian?
Chico Hamilton - “El Chico” Just really good jazz that isn’t a household name but people into jazz know pretty well.
Porter Ricks - “Biokinetics” Ambient electronic waterworks from the late 90’s
micronism - “inside a quiet mind” excellent late 90’s electronic that was released without much fanfare
John Cale - “Paris 1919” and “Fear” Just great rock/alt music from the early 70s. Especially check out the title track on Paris and Barracuda and You Know More Than I Know on Fear
Ben Johnston - “The Crossings: Ascent, String Quartet No. 4” Accessible avant garde classical. Microtonal string quartet with a big, heart-filling and beautiful payoff.
Saint Heron An awesome alt RnB/Soul compilation album from the naughties, I think curated by Beyoncé’s sister Solage, who also makes excellent music. Must be so hard having that kinda talent and be overshadowed by your sister so much.
Madvillain - “Madvillainy” Not underrated, but unless you listen to boom bap indie rap, maybe hasn’t hit your radar.
Lil’ B - “I’m Gay” The inventor of the term “based” drew major flack for this album title because he is not homosexual and meant “happy” but while confusing I don’t think that’s insulting at all. It’s the most accessible album I think he’s made and he is so prolific… man needs a greatest hits album because sifting through his work is normally a damn chore, so this album is a well compiled blessing
I could go on but this is my best I-can’t-sleep-tonight-here-is-a-top-of-mind list.
