| My 5 Most Underrated Albums Ever
My choices for the most overlooked albums ever | | 1 |  | Bruce Springsteen
Nebraska
This is my favorite album from THE BOSS, never before or after has he matched the hauting power of
these songs. Each about his working class people, struggling to survive in America, Springsteen dosen't
break new ground or reinvent a sound, he just inhabits the spirits of all who followed Woody Guthrie
and the man himself and sings for their hopes and pains. | | 2 | | Ry Cooder
Bop Till You Drop
The slide guitar master, interprets the 50s American music scence on this particular album. His gental
arrangements and warm voice provide interesting meaning to songs that created craze and anger
throughtout the decade. | | 3 | | Muddy Waters
Folk SInger
Put Muddy Waters incredible voice and acoustic slide guitar, Buddy Guy playing rythem guitar, Wille
Dixon on the standup bass, in a room with great acoustics and one mic, thus creating the greatest of
the postwar blues albums. The sutblties in Muddy's voice is alone matched by his otherworldly guitar,
and Buddy Guy's amazing rythem sensiblities. | | 4 | | The Notting Hillbies
Missing...Presumed Having A Good Time
A few good British friends very found of Americana music, mostly notably uberguitarist Mark Knopfler,
gather to play some good old country. What you get is a transcendental sweep of American music and
the joy of getting to hear the ultimate in sutble guitar weeping and jeering in the hands of Mr. Knopfler. | | 5 | | Ian Hunter
All American Alien Boy
Ian Hunter is the most underrated artist of all time, and this most unnoticed album is his true
masterpiece. From the sparling epic of the song "All American Alien Boy" to the heartbreak of "Irene
Wilde" the listener hears one of rocks most unheardled poets at the top of his game. | |
