Favorite Forgotten Albums
By an Amazon.com customer
SavageSavage by Eurythmics
Buy used from: $0.09
A classic Eurythmics album lost by the end of an era. A few years earlier, this would have been a huge hit for them. Excellent example of how the band grew. Highly recommended.
Black Tie White NoiseBlack Tie White Noise by David Bowie
Buy used from: $0.23
Experimenter extraordinaire. Bowie does a little funky, jazzy, rockin' album. If you forgot to get this one, get it now.
Loose ScrewLoose Screw by The Pretenders
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $0.69
Again, another one of those that if done earlier would have been a huge hit. Great album! Really!
BloodlettingBloodletting by Concrete Blonde
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.80
Classic voice of our time. Too long forgotten. Rock fans, get this one.
Ode to John LawOde to John Law by Stone the Crows

UK's Janis Joplin of her time. Never big in US. A GREAT album. A forgotten CLASSIC.
Done with MirrorsDone with Mirrors by Aerosmith
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.50
Original album art made this album bomb. Long forgotten, but worth it.
Dirty WorkDirty Work by The Rolling Stones
Buy used from: $2.27
The Stones moved into the 80s with this one. Not many paid attention and many forget. Really rocks. Recommended for your collection.
Bare TreesBare Trees by Fleetwood Mac
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.73
Oh, man. Talk about forgotten. Yes, there was a Mac before Buck/Nicks. Excellent actually. GET THIS.
songs of simple dreamssongs of simple dreams
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $12.49
Again, another one of those heard over there but not here. Great voice; great songs. Highly recommended.
Going Back HomeGoing Back Home by Ginger Baker
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.82
The oft-forgotten Cream drummer made many great, innovative, original albums. Get anyone of them really.
Honor Among ThievesHonor Among Thieves by The Brandos
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $16.97
VERY forgotten band. If you love rock, any rock, get this. Truly one of the forgotten great records of our time. Unfortunately, they got lost in the 80s crowd as metal was coming to the forefront.
Talk Is CheapTalk Is Cheap by Keith Richards
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $7.11
One of the best funk, rock, soul records out there. People forget that Keith does solo stuff, too. Great cast of Xpensive Winos/players including Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker and Mick Taylor. Get it.
Born Again SavageBorn Again Savage by Little Steven
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $1.10
Totally forgotten album! One of the best rockin' albums ever! Another one of those "if done earlier would have been a smash." Check it out.
Christmas Time AgainChristmas Time Again by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.99
When it comes to Christmas music, nobody remembers this one. If you like to rock, no matter what the holiday, this one's for you. Really, it's good.
The Tiki Bar Is OpenThe Tiki Bar Is Open by John Hiatt
Buy used from: $9.19
Truly a songwriter's songwriter; even Dylan will sing his stuff. This album should have been played for a long time. Don't forget it now. It's worth starting here.
Trouble Is...Trouble Is... by The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $1.80
If thrash and hiphop were not dominating our culture, he's the blues-based, forgotten guitarist who would lead the next generation of rockers.
Urban HymnsUrban Hymns by The Verve
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.85
Great album but long forgotten due to the unfortunate, unneccessary rip-off of the Stones classic which caused a huge lawsuit and broke up the band. Worth a listen, really.
Chess Blues Classics: 1947-1956Chess Blues Classics: 1947-1956 by Various Artists
Buy used from: $7.95
Do not forget those who came before and influenced a whole generation of musicians. A MUST for any music fan really. It's important to know where the music came from. You'll really enjoy it!
Tall Blonde HelicopterTall Blonde Helicopter by Francis Dunnery
Buy used from: $7.79
Time to remember one of the best albums from the 90s. Great songwriting, guitar work and singing by this rocking Brit who should have been a huge hit here. You won't be disappointed.
I'm with StupidI'm with Stupid by Aimee Mann
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.66
What a classic album from an oft-forgotten artist. Title takes a swipe at her record company. Eventually she wins her music back and does it all on her own. Great album/story to find out more about.
Mother Love BoneMother Love Bone by Mother Love Bone
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.48
Had the young singer from this band not committed suicide, they would have been bigger than any other band in the 90s. They blow Nirvana away! People forget Mother L was the first. Worth a listen now.
