Excellent question, Chris. I’m sure there are heaps, but off the top of my head I’m gonna go for:
Flight Paths… The Paradise Motel
The New Situation… Drop City
Sins of Our Fathers… Andy Prieboy
I loved…and I mean *loved* the Prieboy album until one day something snapped inside me and I can’t listen to it any more.
I listened to it to death, although it still gets pulled out in moments of great drunkenness… apparently the album sales were really dire and he couldn’t sell another. Last I heard he was writing a musical inspired by Axl Rose called “White Trash Wins Lotto”…
Tricky, define “no attention”. I can list three albums that get no mainstream attention but other folk rave about at infinitum on, umm, semi-obscure mailing lists.
1. Pleased to meet me – The Replacements
2. Titanic Days – Kirsty MacColl
3. Scorn of the Women – Weddings Parties Anything
how about:
1. The Axemans Jazz – The Beasts of Bourbon
2. The Trinity Sesson – The Cowboy Junkies
3. Play – The Great Big Sea
Coming to this late…
1. “Berserker” – Gary Numan
2. “Triage” – David Baerwald
3. “Details” – Frou Frou
There’s no one even in the kitchen!
Berserker!! Hah, haven’t heard that for a long time. I thought Assassin a far superior album.
Love Walked in – The Earthmen
Diaphones – Cactus Child
Seance – The Church
