Most underrated

1. 1 Kate Bush The Dreaming 1982 · Pop Squeezed between the breakthrough and Hounds of Love – and the boldest record Kate Bush ever made.
2. 2 Pink Floyd Animals 1977 · Rock In the shadow of Dark Side and The Wall, but Pink Floyd’s angriest and perhaps best-played album.
3. 3 Neil YoungOn the Beach1974 Neil Young On the Beach 1974 · Rock For years it was hard to find, and so it was forgotten. Now one of his most loved albums.
4. 4 Marvin Gaye Here, My Dear 1978 · Soul, funk and R&B Panned as a divorce album. Over time it has become one of the most honest soul records there is.
5. 5 Fleetwood Mac Tusk 1979 · Rock Everyone expected Rumours 2. They got an odd, home-made double album that many bands now cite.
6. 6 David Bowie Lodger 1979 · Rock The least talked-about Berlin record, but full of ideas that pop caught up with much later.
7. 7 Radiohead Amnesiac 2001 · Rock Often seen as Kid A’s little sister. It has some of Radiohead’s very best songs.
8. 8 Kanye West 808s & Heartbreak 2008 · Hip hop Mocked for the Auto-Tune when it came out. A decade later half the charts sounded like it.
9. 9 ABBA The Visitors 1981 · Pop ABBA’s last album is grown-up and cold – about dissidents, break-ups and children growing up far too fast.
10. 10 Joni Mitchell The Hissing of Summer Lawns 1975 · Folk, country and song The critics wanted more Blue. Joni Mitchell gave them jazz and social portraits far ahead of their time.
11. 11 The Beach Boys Sunflower 1970 · Pop It sold poorly, but it is the Beach Boys’ most generous album – everyone in the band gets to shine.
12. 12 Led Zeppelin Presence 1976 · Rock Zeppelin’s lowest-selling studio album, but “Achilles Last Stand” is among the best things they ever did.
13. 13 Black Sabbath Sabotage 1975 · Hard rock and metal The last truly great Sabbath album with Ozzy, and the most adventurous. Still holds up★★★★★★★★★★ Timeless classic
14. 14 Miles Davis On the Corner 1972 · Jazz Panned by jazz critics. Today you can hear it in hip hop, electronica and modern jazz.
15. 15 R.E.M. New Adventures in Hi-Fi 1996 · Rock It came after the big hit albums and got lost in the crowd – but it has some of the band’s best songs, like “E-Bow the Letter” with Patti Smith.
16. 16 U2 Zooropa 1993 · Rock Made in a hurry and forgotten just as fast, but U2’s freest and strangest album.
17. 17 Björk Medúlla 2004 · Pop A vocal experiment that scared many people off. Listen on headphones.
18. 18 Daft Punk Human After All 2005 · Electronic Dismissed as repetitive. Then Daft Punk played the songs live on Alive 2007 and everyone understood.
19. 19 Judas Priest Sad Wings of Destiny 1976 · Hard rock and metal Often forgotten behind British Steel, but this is where Judas Priest invented much of heavy metal.
20. 20 The Kinks The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society 1968 · Rock Flopped in 1968 when everyone else was making psychedelia. Now perhaps the Kinks’ best album. Timeless classic
