Listenin to Dayton Family's F.B.I. today got me thinking how terribly underrated that cd is. It's in no ones "favorite" list but has classic tracks like
Hand That Rocks The Cradle, F.B.I., Real With This, What's On My Mind II, and Ghetto. Those 5 songs alone are better than 99% of songs that been released in a decade.

What is your most underrated cd?

I agree, it's underrated. So much so, that I've never even heard of it.

I have two that are in my top 10 that don't appear in many of my friends or acquaintances lists. Under the Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy is my go to album anytime I need to get something done, like studying or cleaning my apartment. It is very pretentious, but on the flip side of that it is so catchy that I don't really care. The other is Revolver by the Beatles. I understand that it is not the musical achievement that Sgt. Pepper is, not even close really. But it is still my favorite Beatles album by a wide margin.

My favorite. I believe that Del the Funky Homosapien is the guy on the Gorillaz track, Clint Eastwood.

You would be correct. He's one of the guys in the "band".

The lead singer from Blur is also one of the members.


Outkast - Stankonia gets my vote.

"Drunken Lullabies" by Flogging Molly is one of the best records in the last 20 years.

I would think so. None of my friends own it.
