Palace Revolution 2000
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.

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.
