Underrated albums/pleasant surprises

[HORDE]

Ok a pleasant surprise for me happened the other night while going through my CD collection. I came across "Queensryche - Promised Land". I bought this album when it came out listened to it once or twice and shelved it. I decided to give it a listen again and you know what I was pleasantly surprised. There is alot of good material on this album. Not my favorite ryche album but not a bad one like I had originally though.

Another one I was surprised with is, you guys are going to kill me for this, "Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans". Honestly at first I really did not enjoy this album much but last night I put the headphones on relaxed popped the CD in and WOW .. Why did I not like this one? What a masterpiece!! I am sorry I missed out on this one for so long very imaginative.

And one more, which I think, is highly underrated. Has anyone here listened to any Bozzio, Levins, & Stevens? Blacklight Symphony is a great album! Very nice instrumental work. Bozzio is just insane on the drums and Steve Stevens from Billy Idol, who would have thought that this guy could play so well. I would highly recommend it.
