Underrated rock (derivatives) albums of the decade
All these albums, apart from having a great album cover, are flawless to me and should be rated 4.0 or higher...
They almost deserve some (more) listening.

Creation's Finest
Year : 2012
Under appreciated because of the vocals ? They may sound a bit anoying at first but come on bass, guitar and drums are a wonderful trio here of energetic funk & progressive rock.
Recommended tracks : Creation's Finest, Runaway |

Blues Pills
Year : 2014
Best modern heavy psych blues with 70's influences with a great female singer, plus I can confirm they are great live. I don't get why this isn't better rated except unfortunately the following LP (Lady in gold) is deceiving compared to this.
Recommended tracks : No Hope Left For Me, Astralplane |
| 3 |  | Marriages
Salome
Year : 2015
I'm in love with Emma's vocal style and it may not be everyone taste but this album is really inspired.
Recommended tracks : Southern Eye, Less Than |
| 4 |  | Russian Circles
Memorial
Year : 2013
Not everyone's favorite RC album but I really love its slow, melodic, dark mood.
For those who are not familiar, Russian Circles is a trio : guitar(s) with loops, bass+Taurus, drums with original beats...
Recommended tracks : 1777, Ethel |
| 5 |  | Rotor (GER)
5
Year : 2015
Instrumental music is underappreciated but Rotor is a great german stoner band. This fifth album includes 2 guitars and really pushes it up for me. No bad track on this one in my opinion.
Recommended tracks : Oktagon, Volllast |
| 6 |  | Sungrazer
Sungrazer
Year : 2010
Sungrazer was (before the singer/guitar player passed - RIP) a killer stoner band from Netherlands, my favorite from this country with "The Machine". They are close to sounds of "Colour Haze" or Kyuss. This first LP is my favorite.
Recommended tracks : If, Common Believer |
| 7 |  | Witchcraft
Legend
Year : 2012
Vocals are quite different on this one than previous Witchcraft albums and it's my favorite with a lot of memorable great riffs on this.
Recommended tracks : Deconstruction, Dystopia |
| 8 |  | Child (AUS)
Blueside
Year : 2016
What a great modern blues / heavy rock oriented band with lovely vocals... I discovered them lately and really love their stuff !
Recommended tracks : Blue Side of the Collar, The Man |
| 9 |  | Om
Advaitic Songs
Year : 2012
Bass + drums + some indian (?) influences through sitar-sounding guitars, tabla, vocals... This album is so relaxing and trippy. My favorite with "Conference of the Birds", I always listen to it full, else it loses sense.
Recommended tracks : State of Non-Return, Sinai |
| 10 |  | Bell Witch
Mirror Reaper
Year : 2017
One of my latest discovery. Really ambient, it's dark as a "funeral doom" genre but it's no black or death either. If you're fully in and don't get bored too fast with this kind of music you should really appreciate.
Recommended tracks : Mirror Reaper (1-track) |
