	The only one I've heard of those is Falling Into Infinity. Good album and on the wish list. Wasn't as bad as the reviews in my opinion.

	I actually like all those albums! I always read about people sl*gging these albums though.

	The Ladder. A huge improvement over Open Your Eyes. It contains the best Yes track since the one from the Drama album (Homeworld) and some of the shorter songs are a perfect mix between prog rock and more accessible pop music, although I admit that there are a pair of weak tracks on it.

	I really like The Ladder Its Yes's best studio album since Relayer. I like everything about it. It has plenty of their 70's sound, and its mixed quite nicely with their 80's/90's sound that wasnt all that great

	Three of those deserve to be ragged on. Falling Into Infinity is great, however. I think TOT gets less respect than it, though.

	Tribe has some good stuff on it , and DT`s Falling into infinity I always considered very good (despite the reviews) I need to listen to The Ladder still so I know what I`m talking about

	From the list, "Falling Into Infinity" is the most underrated (i like it). "The Final Cut" is (IMO) the worst Pink Floyd's album. "The Ladder".....i don't think this is underrated. "Tribe"

	Those aren't really underrated in my eyes at least...

	It isn't that Falling Into Infinity is underrated, it's just that everything after is overrated...well at least by overzealous DT fans. FII gets much more love than The Ladder. The Ladder gets the vote. Tribe was not interesting, and it's hard to really even consider The Final Cut a Floyd album with Waters basically eliminating collaboration.

	Falling Into Infinity. Man, I just LOVE this album, it has so many great songs, I can't understand why it's so underrated...It's soft, still but very touching. I'd say FII is Dream Theater's best emotionaly consistent album.

	absolutely THE LADDER by YES – what an album... an underrated gem in the YES-catalogue. pity that the band couldn't sustain it's initial enthusiasm for it. probably the last great album of new and new-sounding YES-music. r.i.p. yes.
	progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

	None! DT's album is probably better than the others on this list, but to say it's underrated - no way!

	Haven't heard the Queensryche, and Dream Theatre is not my kind of thing. But the other 2 are not underrated: you either love or hate the Final Cut; and the Ladder is only a so-so album anyway.

	Pretty Things- S.F.Sorrow. THE most underrated album in rock history.
