Underrated Albums?

Okay, I promised I'd do something like this ages ago, and I'm gonna start one now.

Underrated albums, just a selection, not the most underrated at the top or whatever, just albums that don't get the recognition they deserve.

1) Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul.
- Incredible album, swings in a lot of different style of music. You've got the usual hits like Bag It Up, Shock of the Lightning and Falling Down but theres also tunes like Waiting for the Rapture, Turning, Where Theres Life. Its full of great songs, and is definitely up there with Definitely Maybe as one of Oasis' best. They may be gone but atleast they went out on an album as strong as this.

2) The Verve - Urban Hymns.
- Every song on this album is a tune, everyone knows Bittersweet Sympthony and Drug's Don't Work but still. Some of the other songs on this album are amazing. Come On for example, a massive mixture of both backwards guitars, loads of drums and so much psychedelia it sends you high. Add in Lucky Man, a brilliant acoustic number; Rolling People, another great psychedelic tune; and Catching The Butterfly and you've got yourself a masterpiece. Plus, be patient enough and get a lovely little surprise after Come On (wait about 10 minutes, its great!)

3) Eminem - Recovery.
- Sadly, due to all the shit music being forced through radio stations and music channels its difficult for a really great album to be noticed. And this is a great album, my personal album of 2010. The pure anger, spirit and from-the-heart music makes this album out of this world. It should be known as one of the best ever, as its creator, Eminem is one of the best ever. Its a shame, that people will listen to the song with Rihanna, or Pink, then turn onto Justin Bieber, when theres tunes like Almost Famous, and Seduction.

4) The Rascals - Rascalize.
- Not really well known are the Rascals, but this album is very good. Full of imagination and fun, Miles Kane is by far and away the best vocalist in British music at this moment at time. He's also a great guitarist (watch out for Miles Kane's solo album, coming in March). Tracks like Bond Girl, and Rascalize are great, great indie songs and are not heard enough. Hopefully the Rascals will tour again one day but with how successful Miles Kane will be, we'll see.

5) Jamie T - Panic Preventation.
- Jamie T. He's quality. Another indie musician, whose second album (Kings & Queens) is also quality. He isn't hear enough in my opinion, I'ma just do his debut album this time around. I love this album, its just fun. Like Kane, Jamie T has an incredible voice, and has great tunes built around life. Brand New Bass Guitar is a great song, I love the first verse. Check out Sheila as well. Just check out the album, its massive.

6) The Seahorses - Do It Yourself.
- Last but not least, one of the greatest albums of all time. The Seahorses, formed by former Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, released this album in 1997. It's heavy, the guitar in it is incredible, just out of this world. The lead singer has a pretty good voice and the lyrics are inventive, fun, easy to remember and are very well put together. If I make you do one thing, it would be to go and purchase this album, and if you like it, follow Squire to his solo work and the Stone Roses work, this music will change your life.

Am off to bed, long day tomorrow.

One more thing...

Probably gonna finally do a list of something soon (think I mentioned it in... November?)

Keep your eyes out, music first I think, will do things like:
- Fave films.
- Legendary folk.
- Dream guitars.

Stuff like that.

I urge you go out and buy the music I put here, I'll put links up to the likes of HMV.

Peace Out.

I stellify...

Wow.

How you all doing? Good? Good.

I'm knackered, feel like my heads been stuck in the tundra.

Gotta lot to do tomorrow, there's as essay to finish and my room to tidy, can't wait mate, sounds grade.

I've finally started writing music properly, before it was just words n that, little things I made up but now its like, I'm making bass tabs for it.

It's all pretty simple, need Butters to teach me some tricks when we're finally both free.

Am off to bed now, or maybe soon, need to find something to watch and forget my troubles for the night.

How do you sleep?...

Firstly, happy new year dreamweavers.

Honestly hope its a good one for everyone, I know this following year is gonna be full on, I'll see you along the way.

Finding everything and realising...

Just quickly, watching a documentary entitled "The Day Lennon Died".  Dear Mr. Lennon. I was not alive to hear you first hand. But I love you. Everything you stood for. The kind of person I am is down to you.

The Ian Brown Gig is next thursday. I am like a little child!

Can't wait to the day, out with The Irish One and Butters all day. One too many, lots of laughs, Ian Brown, then stay in City and have a little shock out. So buzzing.

I've also finished my first term of Uni. Still can't believe I'm there. I'm a shocked person, I love the place. I shouldn't be there really, got in through clearing. I'm not going to mess it up. I've handed in two essays and had a test. Its all done 'til January.

I'd add more, but writers block, til another time.

R.I.P John Lennon. x

I would say something about the Government, the Parliament and the Con-Dems, but they don't deserve to be associated in any way to the names mentioned in this article.

I can't get no sleep...

Story of my life!

Went to see the latest Harry Potter last night, it was mega, seemed a tad rushed though.

It is mega early, I'm not a happy bunny, felt ill just lying in bed so got up for some breakie, as ya do. It's freezing man! I'm watching South Park and doing some essay prep, for pure joke. Not long til my Environment lecture atleast. Environment is a cool thing man, it's not all global warming, it's cool stuff.

What I can't be bothered for, is meeting the Mother and Nan in town after, I've no business in the shops they go to.

I've no business in any shops though, to be honest! I've ran out of money already!

Should of set up an overdraft really, but then I'd just be buying more stuff.

Only been allowed to buy one guitar thus far, will be buying another one in January. Semi acoustic model or a bass akin to that of Paul McCartney's (the violin shaped one)?

I'm on a massive Beatles, Indie, Jam, Smiths, Oasis trip at the moment. No idea where it's come from, but its good to be back.

Chart musics only good for a dance, whilst on the steamboat. Or just a quick listen too without much thought.

Long live Rock 'N' Roll.
God's rocking now though, baby.

A working class hero...

Is something to be.

I'm getting pretty fucked off with the generalisation of people becoming middle class just 'cus they go uni.

Fuck them.

Live forever, regret nothing.
