Underrated Albums (soundtrack, electronic, funk, house, jazz)

what in your opinion are the most under-rated albums?

for me, The Who Sell Out is hugely underrated as is TNT and '74 Jailbreak by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin III - to me its better than IV/Zoso and Heavy Soul by Paul Weller.

I like his stuff from Let's Get Killed and the Ocean's 12 soundtrack, but I haven't heard anything from Bow Down To The Exit Sign.

Underrated-

1. Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince - "Code Red"
VASTY underrated. It's dope all the way around, a great chill out album. It got caught up wit the emerging "gangster" rap scene so it didn't sell that well, but probably Will Smith/ Jazzy Jeff 's top album. But then you would have to count the classic He's The DJ, I'm the Rapper and Homebase. Well top 2 then.

There isn't a bad track on this album. Honestly.

I'd like to put my two cent's worth in and say any Alice Cooper album from 1969-79.

Oh, sure, he was theatrics and whatnot, but he had a top notch band. Musically, all his albums up until about 'From The Inside' were very sound and really well crafted. Interesting stuff. Some surspisingly subtle nuances from one of the original shock rockers.
