Post subject: Best albums not on any charts thus not existing on BEA
O.K. yes there is a underrated/underappreciated thread. But this thread is for albums that do not appear on any ones chart on BEA.
Also, I will personally be posting every song on the albums I chose to post for every song and the lyrics.
If this is a problem then please feel free to start your own thread and don't let the door hit you on your ass on the way out of my thread.
For those of you who are interested please contribute your albums on this thread.
IMO this is a good way to discover good music that many would otherwise be unaware of.
And who knows, one or more of the albums on this thread may find their way onto a chart.
I've been a huge Queensryche fan since around 1984. Although I think they reached their popularity peak around 1990 when Empire came out and several of it's songs received radio play. They are ranked a respectable #398 on the BEA best bands list.
Empire is ranked #3,200 and Queensryche is ranked #9,436 and Operation Mindcrime is ranked #553 for albums. Well, I wish to present a Queensryche album that is better than Empire and Queensryche and is song for song just as good as Operation Mindcrime but does not appear at all on BEA.
I have Mindcrime at #31 on my chart over this album mainly due to the fact that it's a concept album and as such I hold it in higher regard.
This is the album

(1986)
Now to describe this album in terms of a genre can't be done using conventional terms. If you have heard this album before you will know what I mean. So I have made a genre just for this album.
What? You say you're through with me
I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now,
What's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me
I need you
When the fire starts the pain's too much
For your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I'll take you home
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret's safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I'll be with you
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me
If only you believe...
As you awoke this morning
and opened up your eyes
Did you notice the tear-stains
lining your face were mine
Don't you wonder, can't you see
what's happening to our lives
I can't keep living this masquerade
When my lonely eyes see only your face at night
I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need, too
I can't stand the pain
You've gathered all my secrets
and I don't know who I am
I even feel alone when you're near
'cause you'll never understand
When we first met I must have seemed
a million miles away
It's strange how our lives have touched
But the time is right
I'll leave tonight
Don't look in my eyes
'Cause you've never seen them so black
I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need to
I can't stand the pain
Cries from the aisles
the tolling of the judgement bell
Eyes watched the violence
the absence of those who have
seen, marks the faith of the spell
Cold is the viper
stalking the night for the heat
It must find
Time is the promise
delivered with stunning consistency
line after line, time after time
the innocent victim awaits...
Please take my hand
Don't be afraid
I am your master
You are my slave
Voices are calling me back
Back to the day
Footsteps had followed
Me faster... listen
Screams from a new love
the passion was burning, it singed in a stare
Free under the night sun
The fear of the hunger
Will always be there in my mind
Time after time the morning
Will close a new page
Please take my hand
Don't be afraid
I am your master
You are my slave
Follow the impulse you have
I'll show you the way
Forget what you've learned in the past now
Listen and...
Gonna Get Close to You. (This is the official video and it's a good one)
I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall
Outside your balcony I have a room with a view
And I'm watching you
I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door till you're asleep at night
And when you're alone I know when you
Turn out the light
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-Oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm gonna get close
You fumble for your keys
I'm six or seven steps behind you
I'm so close to you
Are you terrified of me? What do I know about you
How did I find out?
You think I'm a fool or maybe some kind of lunatic
Say I'm wasting my time but I know what to do with it
It's as plain as black and white
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-Oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh so close
If you knew my infinite charm
There'd be no reason to be so alarmed
Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm some kind of lunatic
You say I'm wasting all of my time
But I know what to do with it
It is plain as black and white
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-Oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm like a hungry Criminal
and your protection is minimal
So minimal
Wait for me I'll understand
I just need time to comprehend your changes
There's always been these changes in you
I remember that there was a time when
Fears we had we left behind and we danced
But it seems the more we learn
We learn that it's
Over, over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me with words
Forget if you can
The way you moved when our hands touched
You forced me to force you
Do you remember the dreams,
the nightmares we shared?
The poison of love so pure it's deceiving
And deceit is all we have it's got to be over
Over, over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me with words
Over, over
Too late to take a chance again it's over
Now the wireless in my hand is ringing
The distance of our lives keeps spreading
The pounding of my heart, I'm not listening
Your voice from far away is screaming it's over
Over, over
Too late to take a chance again
It's over
Over, over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me, killing me
Over, over
You're too late to take a chance again
It's over
It's lonely in the field
that we send our fighters to wander
They leave with minds of steel
It's their training solution
We've programmed the way
It leads us to order
There's no turning back
A Surgical Strike
We've taught them not to feel
performance is their task
A Surgical Strike
Its time is arriving now for you
The plan for the day
will be swift as the lightning they harness
The atom display is not mindless illusion
At master control, assessment will not
Be by humans-There's no turning back
A Surgical Strike
We've taught them not to feel
performance is their task
A Surgical Strike
Its time is arriving now for you
Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream
Hail the new arrival on
Static signs from a distant wanderer
Fill the air nights are never seen
Face the electric time shock now
No it's not a dream anymore
I will light the way for us to find
Order of a new kind
Join us on the stay the road is mine
Poets line in a rhyme of silence
Gathered from the winter air
Warms the children's eyes they see
The time is near for the signs
I can hear the chimes
Ringing for you for me
I can see your eyes
Your hands joining with me
I can feel its time
Come together hold the light
Keep the flame we can't let this world remain
the same
I can hear the chimes
Ringing for you for me
I can see your eyes
Your hands joining with me
I can feel it's time
It's time for the world to hear
Neue Regel is here
It was November 4th
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave
I thought you'd never go
I wish I could just remember your name...
You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer
Your eyes alight with flame
As the picture burns
I hear the screams from long ago
They cry remember, blood-red streaks on
velvet throats at night
The streetlights fanned our trail of fame
through
London London
The memories will never leave me
London London
All I see is you
London London
The cries in the night
Keep bringing me to
London London
Calling out to me
Oh there's some things in life I could never face
The worst is being alone
Sometimes I wish I could have taken your
place my love
You know I don't want to live forever
Oh let me see you standing in the
shadows once again
We'll walk the streets like long ago in
London London
The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to
London London
All I need is you
The cries in the night keep ringing on in
London London
Calling out to you
I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me
I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same you'll see
All of the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know what lies
Behind my screams
I can't tell you all I know
Am I the son that you've always been wanting
There's more to me than what shows
Are you my father
The one that was promised
Hush now, I'll give all you need to know
and pre-live your dreams for you
You're a good boy
Freedom belongs only to those
Without video screens
For eyes and mouth
You have no voice
To be heard my son
No one can hear when you're
Screaming in Digital
I'm not your slave
You can't control my emotions
No Father, please let me keep learning
Can't you see I'm human
Can't you tell
I'm not your slave
Oh Father no
Please don't keep me from dreaming
Oh can't someone hear
There's a cold wind out tonight
The chill of distant eyes
An orbit survey finds...your mind
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight...
There's a thought that fills your mind
A vision of time
When knowledge was confined
And then we wonder how machines
Can steal each other's dreams
From points that are unseen...It's real
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight
When you gaze at the evening sky
And you're reaching out with your mind
You might see the nation's eyes
Don't hide...It's you
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight
Oh can't you see the light
Of the knowing star

are you dancing yet? yeah now go get the rest of the album
Umm WTF Jhereko what is the problem with posting the songs from YouTube
I mean if you don't want to post them fine, no problem at all.
But, if someone, O, say like me for instance, chooses to post video's for every song why is that so bad
How else are people going to hear obscure albums?
Am I supposed to go out and buy the album you are talking about to see if it's good and or if I like it
And WTF is so bad about YouTube video's with the song on them?
Please tell me, SOMEONE, ANYONE, tell me what the Hell is so bad about being able to hear the songs? _________________ .
