| Somewhat Underrated Albums
Albums that I think are underrated. Most are just albums that were looked own upon or forgotten compared to the bands other material. Some may have cult followings, but they never really went platinum/gold or broke into the mainstream. | | 1 |  | Blue Cheer
Vincebus Eruptum
One of the first heavy metal albums ever. Stoner rock and some noise rock are present as well. Almost everything stoner rock became, muddy production, strong bass playing, loud guitars, powerful drums, and loud vocals. | | 2 |  | Sir Lord Baltimore
Kingdom Come
Another one of the first stoner rock albums ever. Released in 1971 and amazing record full of psychedelic rock mixed with metal. It has a Kyuss/Soundgarden kind of sound. | | 3 |  | Big Black
Atomizer
One of the first great industrial/noise rock records. Creepy lyrics, clanky guitar sound, metallic bass, and weird drum machine rhythms. Amazing record, although it is out of print on cd and vinyl. Steve Albini (the main member of the band pretty much) isn't against "piracy" though. :) | | 4 |  | Screaming Trees
Sweet Oblivion
One of the greatest grunge albums ever. It is somewhat psychedelic with a grunge twist more so. Every member of the band is awesome at what they do as well. | | 5 |  | Red Hot Chili Peppers
One Hot Minute
I've never understood why so many people don't like this LP. It is much heavier and darker than BSSM, and it has some of their best songs. Warped is awesome and Coffee Shop is a great funk metal song. This album is also somewhat psychedelic. Less about jamming, more about songwriting here. | | 6 |  | The Rolling Stones
Their Satanic Majesties Request
Though often seen as The Stones pretentious attempt to outdo The Beatles Sgt. Pepper, this album has some great songs on it that could easily be the Stones best. 2000 Light Years From Home is awesome, She's A Rainbow is great, Citadel is great, and In Another Land is interesting. While obviously directly influenced by The Beatles, it is still a fun and interesting record. | | 7 |  | Led Zeppelin
Presence
Really overlooked. Achilles Last Stand is epic, Tea For One is also epic, and Royal Orleans is actually pretty good. No terrible songs on this LP, it is just a very straightforward album. | | 8 |  | The White Stripes
Get Behind Me Satan
Better than Elephant. This one is bluesier, rawer, harder, and more powerful. | | 9 |  | The Offspring
Ixnay on the Hombre
My favorite Offspring album. Never understood why it wasn't as popular as the rest of their discography. Less punk I guess, but more experimental and heavy. | | 10 |  | Nirvana
Bleach
Nirvana's debut. A breath of fresh air from what was popular at the time. The production isn't very good in my opinion, but it has some of their greatest material. Their cover of Love Buzz is my favorite though. | |

12.01.13 | 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 are legit, good list | JamieTwort
12.01.13 | 1 is awesome. I wouldn't call it heavy metal though even though it did have a really strong influence on the genre and was at the time of its release one of the heaviest albums out there. It's still fucking heavy now. | TAB
12.01.13 | can't stand big black, but albini has produced some amazing records. not a fan of one hot minute either, i pretty much hate dave navarro. 9 and 10 are cool though | BMDrummer
12.01.13 | I like Jane's Addiction quite a bit, but I'm not a fan of Dave Navarro really. Great guitarist, just his "look" that kills it for me. | mandan
12.09.13 | Cool list. | SirDrumsalot
12.09.13 | 5 & 9 are actually my favorites of each band. | oltnabrick
