Pick an album that you feel not enough people on here have heard and you really think they should and sell it! And when I say "an" I mean 1, just 1. And remember people this thread is all about give and take, so offer and discover.

So my pick is Shearwater's The Golden Archipelago from 2010.

It's a gorgeous album and lead songwriter Jonathon Meiburg paints beautiful naturalistic landscapes similar to Justin Vernon except better. His voice is a major major force throughout the album and would probably be my pick for most underrated voice of this century. The album is certainly a slowburner and on first listen I felt I preferred their former effort Rooks but after re-listens TGA revealed itself to be a much larger and incredibly beautiful album than I had first suspected. Highly Recommended.

Shearwater is a great band I would also recommend it.

There's tonnes of albums on here that don't get acknowledged Mostly indie albums, but still, too much is ignored


(which gives me an idea for our next tournament )

I could give a list, but for now (for all you metal fans), check out:

Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night (#48 on my chart I think), brilliant band.

Hm.. Is this another thread where I can shove some yugoslavian music into people's faces

(will do it later when I figure out what to write about the album)

Eux Autres - [i]Hell Is Eux Autres[/i]
At a time where the Indie Rock scene has been inundated with 60's throwback groups, especially the ones with female singers, this album from almost a decade back outstrips any of those fuzzed out hipsters by offering something that none of them have (yet), lyrical depth. This band is like a mix of April March ("Chick Habit" from the [i]Deathproof[/i] soundtrack) and They Might Be Giants. Their lyrics are bizarre, opaque, and most importantly, just plain fascinating to listen to!
I will see if I can update in a moment with some youtube links.

The Great Misdirect. You ALL have to listen to the Great Misdirect. EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU.

(Los Campensinos! "Romance is Boring" and Cynic's "Traced in Air" receive honourable mention as two other incredible albums that are horribly neglected on these forums)

Well APPARENTLY I can't post links yet because I might be a spammer, but in my opinion, tracks like "Salut les Copains," "Sundance Kid," and "Partick Nil" are real standouts!

Exuma-Exuma (1970)

This guy is voodoo/obeah folk. If you listen, you will be sold; if you're not, I'm sorry. (album comes to BEA courtesy of theharrisonfords). One caveat: you need some good phones to really here the bass in some of these tracks.

one of the best introductions ever
