The only one that immediately springs to mind is From Genesis To Revelation, I think it's more prog than most people give it credit for and certainly better produced than some of their following albums (even with the unnecessary addition of syrupy strings to every song)
What?

I must listen again, it certainly isn't terrible. Just doesn't do anything for me I suppose.

Maybe Dream Theater's Octavarium which I see as highly underrated here.

Not underrated...a bad album. Seems a few of us agree. And you like it, which is fine. That is the purpose of this thread.

Now no one say underrated or overrated again.

I expect that a lot of the music I love the majority would dislike if they heard it.  Anyway, Magma's Merci is one album I like considerably that many have deemed trash.I expect that a lot of people don't get beyond the first track.  I do, still,  prefer the Offering albums, which I've seen trashed, and I once stupidly said some things against myself.

Now that I've answered the question in the first post, looking to this topic's title, I see you rated Asia's self-titled five stars, and that is an album that I have hated.

I'm a huge fan of Earth and Fire, and really love their later albums, as they left prog behind and went for a more Euro-pop sound with prog seasoning.  Based on PA album ratings and the reviews posted, I imagine most people here hate, or would hate if they heard it:

Earth and Fire - Gate to Infinity
Earth and Fire - Andromeda Girl

these two especially - two of my favorites.

Hey, as long as I get a pass for focusing on your thread title rather than paying attention to the actual substance. TongueLOL

^I think 90125 is widely liked here which is why I didn't include it in my list.
