Most underrated album

There are many latin american albums that deserves more attention here, despite the good rating of some of them:

- Los Jaivas - Los Jaivas (also known as El Indio)
- Los Jaivas - Obras de Violeta Parra
- Nexus - Metanoia
- Invisible - Durazno sangrando
- Kharmina Buranna - El arte de seguir vivos
- Kharmina Buranna - Seres humanos
- Cazuela de Cóndor - Pasión, pánico, locura y muerte
- Elfonía - Elfonía
- Jaime Rosas - Creciendo
- Matraz - Tiempo

Give it a try!! Prog on!

Opeth - Morningrise

Yes, its rough production and raw songs, but its an underrated gem (if you like extreme prog)

I would like to ADD:

Beardfish - The Void
Eloy - Inside
Kaipa post-70s -  All their post-70s albums are rated lower than they should be.  I love the group.
Kansas First album and Song For America I like better than Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return (they are not underrated though since they are rated high on PA)
Mostly Autumn - I love the group and many albums are rated lower than they should be.  Especially the two most recent albums.
Peter Hammill - I can crank up the rating on quite a few of his albums.
Spock's Beard - Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep (This may be their best album.  It is excellent, but people will not like it as much as the Neal Morse Era)

I will definitely second these albums that were already mentioned:

Rush - Caress Of Steel
Eloy - Colours
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
King Crimson - Lizard; In The Wake Of Poseidon
Jethro Tull - Stand Up; This Was
King Crimson - The ConstruKction of Light
Riverside - Shrine of New Generation Slaves
Gentle Giant - Free Hand
Yes - Drama

Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds

For me Queen II among common fans, News of the World/Jazz on this website.

Those albums are well liked here and there is a recent thread about Oldfield somewhere.

 

Ommadawn 4.33

the Who - Face Dances
the Who - By Numbers
David Bowie - 1.Outside
Keith Emerson - Nighthawks (Soundtrack)
Keith Emerson - Inferno (Soundtrack)
the Nice - Elegy
the Nice - Five Bridges
the Nice - the Nice
ELP - Works Volume 1
ELP - Works Volume 2
ELP - Black Moon

Are you kidding....no contest the album is Floyd's animals... I've seen them a couple of times and they play absolutely nothing from it....it falls between The Wall and Wish you were here... so it's in the middle of the "peak period" of one of the most influential and successful bands of all time...and yet NADA

I am tired of Renaissance’s “Azure D’Or” getting dumped on. Sure, it has shorter songs and lacks the orchestral arrangements, but damn, it still has some of their stronger compositions IMO. Jekyll and Hyde, The Flood at Lyons, The Discovery always give me chills.
