Underrated albums, or underrated artists?

One of those artist/albums that no one ever even notices exists but is unbelievable is AMERICAN DON by Don Caballero. Request "The Peter Criss Jazz" or "One's All Over the Place" and get some lovin'.

For the number one all time most underrated [under-known] album ever: LOW LEVEL OWL by The Appleseed Cast. This is one of my top ten albums EVER!!! Yes, that's right, ever. It's a two disc album with both discs being released seperately, but it's worth every penny and then some (EP, when are we going to hear LLO on your show?).

For me, the second - all time underrated and underappreciated album is UNION by Yes. I don't know why people hate on this album. I stinking love it. I know the next ten responses will by "you idiot" style, but I really like this disc. There are about 7 great songs. TALK is likewise underappreciated and amazing.

MANIC MOONLIGHT by King's X is also underappreciated. Coming from a huge KX fan, I was dissappointed greatly by this disc when I first got it. I thought "four good, four bad, and one so-so." But I dusted it off the other day - Shoot, this disc is loaded. I guess it just has to sink in and grow on you, like all art-rock.
