Talkin' Honky Blues by Buck 65
Country meets Hip Hop. In a good way..
This will be a very different listen for those of you who have never heard of him.
That being said, this is probably the least bizarre album of his.
He does all of his own production and scratching, which is also very original at most times, and he blends elements from both hip hop and country to create his own sound for this album.
Square is also a good album to start off with, however it has more than 10 votes so I went with Talkin' Honky Blues for this thread.

Remember My Song by Labi Siffre
Released in 1975, then re-relased after Eminem used a sample of "I Got The.." in his breakout hit "My Name Is".
Labi Siffre seems to be incredibly underrated on the site. British homosexual poet, singer, songwriter. Dreamer, Down, and Another Year are all really great songs but the whole album is a really good listen. I suggest ya'll give it a try.
It only has 3 votes!?!? |
Been meaning to chek this for years. I got the.. Is such a great track. Don't forget that the session players on this are Brian Bennett and chas & dave. Basically eminem owes his whole career to chas n dave yeah?

When I look at my own top 100 most of the albums in there have hundreds and even thousands of votes but there are some that I consider to be hidden gems that I'm sure more people would appreciate it if they knew it. I each time mention the number of votes these albums have at the time I'm writing these comments: I would really like it if all of them (or at least part of them) would get more than 10 votes in no time:
Ascension (7 votes) by the Aints: follow-up of the Saints by Ed Kuepper: this album is an incredible mix of shredding guitar rock with jazz elements
Rifferama (1 vote: mine) by Thrum: the title of the album is self-explanatory
People Are Like Seasons (5 votes) from Sophia: Robin Propper-Sheppard (ex-leader of the God Machine): at his melancholic best: some really heart breaking songs like I Left You and Swept Back
Blind Love (4 votes) by Ratcat: just catchy bubblegum rock (as opposed to bubblegum pop)
The Word and the Flesh (4 votes) by the Band of Susans: again guitar rock with intertwining guitars (ex Guitar Trio is one of the song titles of the longest and last track of the album)
Eroica (6 votes) by Wendy & Lisa: I wouldn't even call this a hidden gem: incredible that these Prince pupils with great psychedelic sounding funk doesn't get more votes
Beatsongs (8 votes) by the Blue Aeroplanes: very underrated band with great song writing skills; the lyrics are delivered in kind of spoken word way not unlike Lou Reed did on his best albums
White Soul (6 votes) By Green: again very catchy rock and when I write catchy I mean really catchy

Entanglements by Parenthetical Girls
sweet but also eerie chamber/art pop. a concept album about a paedophilic relationship which is really confusing because it's all really sexual and uncomfortable but then at the same time there's these lush strings that also add to the darkness of the subject matter. but it all works so well oddly
