This is in line with who else are you listening to?

What album or albums by other artists/bands that you think are great but did not do well in sales?

I will start off with one by Donovan. It's called Open Road and it an absolute favorite of mine

And I have to mention three by Al Stewart. Orange; Modern Times; and Past, Present and Future

America's HUMAN NATURE. Much like Harmony, in that it's a wonderful album coming late in an artist's career.

At Amazon.com you can get a new copy of this CD for 1 cent (plus shipping). Not a bad deal.

I'd vote for Justin Hayward (of the Moody Blues) "The View From the Hill".

I'd say despite their short lived,hit making status,Men At Work and their 3 albums (Business As Usual,Cargo & Two Hearts) are very underrated. The 1st album is a wonderful blend of Jazz,Pop,New Wave,Rock and I'm guessing Raggae (on the hit "Down Under")

Cargo continues in that same vein with a great anti-war statement made with "It's A Mistake". Also like the 1st,there are great moody songs that strangely enough,don't depress you.

Two Hearts is their 1985 LP after two members left. The back up harmony isn't as good but the songs are still listenable. They attempt to take a much stronger sound into their music.

So,instead of wasting $$ on a "Best of" CD,get those 3. It's worth it!

Who Can It Be Now? Just look below!
