The Most Underated Pop Albums
some pop albums are so good an underlooked due to poor radio or publicity...
heres my top 5 1. Betty Boo - Grrr - pure pop indulgence 2. Zoe - Scarlet, Red and Blue - used to sing this all the time 3. Geri Halliwell - Passion (her best album) 4. Britney Spears - Blackout (her best album) 5. Ashlee Simpson - Bittersweet World |

Saturdays - 'Chasing Lights' Every song on the album could be a single, and a successful one at that.

Scoundrel Days; Minor Earth, Major Sky and Lifelines. All by A-Ha and absolute classics. Forget the Take On Me poppy s**t and listen to Morten's sooth and tender voice, Paul's guitar playing (which should really mark him out as a far superior player than The Edge of U2) and Magne's piano skills. The lyrics and compositions are stunning. No wonder that they are constantly referred to as artists of influence by many bands (U2, Coldplay, Pet Shop Boys to name a few).

Ashlee Simpson's Bittersweet World is not very good. Her first album was the only decent one.

I think Natalie Imbruglia's White Lilies Island album is terrific and very underrated. I love just about every song on it. I far prefer it to Left Of The Middle, which I know was much more popular, but I only like a handful of the songs on that one. I like Counting Down The Days too, although it can't compare to WLI for me.
I also really like Melanie C's Reason album. |

I agree , Mel C and Natalie Imbruglia both have released some great pop albums!
Belinda Carlisle is pretty great, too.I think Erasure have released some of the best pop tunes ever, but don't know that I'd call them overrated . They seem to have had a long spell of popularity/chart success? Cyndi Lauper has released some wonderful, underrated pop albums. |

I was going to mention The Bangles debut album last night but I'd had a few sherbs so wasn't sure if my judgement was impaired. I'm still not. |

Frank - Devil's Got Your Gold. It bombed, but it's amazing and it's Xenomania produced. Quote:

These three albums came to mind instantly - all criminally underrated!
1. Natalie Imbruglia - White Lilies Island 2. Dannii Minogue - Girl 3. Holly Valance - State of Mind |

Sugababes- One Touch, it's a shame they were over-shadowed by other groups of the time.

Both of the Babyshambles albums- they are both really good albums and I think they fell victim to the Pete Doherty hangover of that period- Down in Albion has some great songs on it and is in no way 'unlistenable' as one review stated (it is a bit shambolic but, like Peter, it is charmingly shambolic), while Shotter's Nation is a really solid album- UnBiloTitled, Delivery and The Lost Art of Murder rank up there with Pete's best work.
The first two Primal Scream albums are very underated- in fact they are brilliant! Be Here Now by Oasis is not as bad as people make out (just overproduced and slightly exhausting) and Nowhere by Ride should have been one of the big albums of the early 1990s (Alan McGee's original golden boys). |
