Agree with you about Be Bop Deluxe, and all their albums are excellent and for me it would be Modern Music which got luke warm reviews.
The other band I love that others don't seem to get is Kings X. I think all their albums are excellent

I had no idea Lulu did an album in Muscle Shoals with Duane Allman, etc. I know the song "Oh Me, Oh My," because it received a lot of airplay when I was a kid. I heard it on the background music of a store recently, and it sounded like adult pop of that era (strings), with a nice melody. I may have to check out the rest of the album.
It`s a wonder how adult pop (strings) can leave a mark when a kid, only to be recognized years later as oneself has become an adult, and then, boy how it hits! Yeah, check out the rest of the album, it`s quite funky. It makes you wanna dance!
Talk about your favorite band.

The last U2 album really clicked with me. Usually not considered great even by U2 fans, so I guess most people here will say it is one of the worst things ever :-)

... another one - Springsteen's Working On a Dream. I really like the album, it is probably due to the fact that it was his firs album that he realeased after I became a fan, so it was his first new album I was waiting for. I guess this kind of album is always great.

Flat Baroque and Berserk - Roy Harper.
CSN - Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Tilt - Scott Walker.
Truth - Jeff Beck Group.
Re-KeithNacho's post; I would argue Pink Floyd's Animals is considered a great album but again, wholly subjective.

I saw several mentions here that are so interesting. I just find that Lulu album.
"Berlin" by Lou is IMO a masterpiece, and his best album.
I remember the first time I listened to 'Tilt' by Scott Walker, and my my jaw dropped.
I want to add some early Genesis albums to my list: "Trespass".
"American Boy & Girl" by Garland Jeffreys
"Extra Texture" by George Harrison
And the Jacobites albums with Kusworth. I just wish I could find another copy of "Robespierre's Velvet Basement" that doesn't cost over $100. I wore my old copy out.

Taking the opposite direction form noughties thread, I started thinking about albums where you feel like you know the 'secret' but nobody else sees it. On the one hand you want the rest of the world to see it, on the other hand you kind of enjoy being one of the few in-the-know.
(the title sounded good, but now I am actually having to think on this one for a while...)
Ok, the Novaks. A superb band from Canada; their self titled debut album; should turn Stones fans on.
Be Bop Deluxe - they are not really unknown, but Bill Nelson ix brilliant IMO. I will pick "Sunburst Finish" as album.
Cockney Rebel - Steve Harley may have damaged his own reputation in later years by being a dweeb; but when he had CR going with "Human Menagerie", "Psychomodo" and "Best years Of Our Lives" he was tops.
Blitzen Trapper - I'll say "American Goldwing" but their catalog is mostly very good.
The Scientists - I am going out on a limb and say that the reunion album in 2007 may be their best "sedition". The early material is the core of the band, but the reunion was very good.
The Blow Monkeys - "Digging your scene"
The Tubes - "What do you want from Life" - they got the success they craved in 80's, but with it, the quality of the material went down the drain. up to '79 "Remote Control" they were sensational. especially live.
Empire of the Sun, Tahiti 80 - I think of them together - huge, sunny, synth rock.

Housemartins, London 0 Hull 4.
Catchy 60's style pop with clever lyrics and soulful singing, but it never really caught on outside the UK.

For me it's The Who 'It's Hard' (and you could probably add Face Dances to that too). I got really into 'It's Hard' during a bunch of Caribbean dawns a couple of years ago, and although I'd never really liked it as a teenager in the 90s, it really got to me as a 40 year old in the 2010s...
(I'm also digging that Lulu album for the first time too now, thank you!)

Id Like to add Queen and Queen II. Prior to Queen's fame their first two albums rock hard (almost as hard as Zeppelin at times). There is some very good material on the first couple albums such as Keep Yourself Alive, Great King Rat, Son And Daughter off the first album and Father to Son, and Seven Seas of Rhye from Queen II. These albums have the Queen sound heard later but with much heavier sound and with a more mystical prog sound.

Well, when people dug Queen, I listened to Roxy Music. I have the suspicion that Queen are the forefathers to Trønderrock, which come across to most listeners as hair-rock. So there you have it; Queen are the 80s hair-rock in its embryo.

+1 for Under the Red Sky, as well as Saved, the most overtly religious album of his religious trilogy.
John Prine's "Pink Cadillac" is a terrific album but is often considered a low point for him.
She's the Boss and to a lesser extent, Primitive Cool.
