Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates


Any of you have favourites that were rejected by reviewers and / or the public in general ? Well, here's your chance to bare your soul and plead your case before the Audiogon Court of Jesters : )

How about discs that you love even though the recordings are decidedly "lo-fi" ? Bootleg's don't really count, but you can list them anyhow : ) Sean

Rammstein here in America. I was just in Russia on a river cruise vacation though and some of the deck hands were listening to the band back away from the passngers. I couldn't speak Russian but when I said "Rammstein Rules!" I made a bunch of Russian friends. Oh, I'm 50 and the other passengers were older so you can imagine the sailor's suprise.

Another CD that everyone hates but I like is Alien Ant Farm.
Culture Club's new boxed-set. Boy George could sing with the best. The remastering process worked extremely well on the tracks included in this set.
Duran Duran was incredibly under-rated as a band. Their live shows are excellent, and (most) of the records were decent.
Sean, rejected (or ignored) by the critics and the public, with bad sound (by audiophile standards), is an apt description of at least half my collection.
I'm with Zaikes here; most of the stuff I listen to was never reviewed. The vast majority of music lovers out there have never heard of, most what is in my LP collection.

I am still learning about so many lost treasures. Who needs contemporary music. With so much old GREAT 30 year+ stuff out there, 69/74 seems to be magic for me.
