Albums that are not given the recognition they deserve.

Les Negresses Vertes (eponymous album). The single Zobi la Mouche was never the hit that it should have been. The album is great - I was playing it tonight for the first time in ages, and it sounds really fresh considering it came out late eighties.

Joe Jackson - Body and Soul.

My unrecognised masterpiece is 'Vimana' by a band called Nova that featured a guitar, sax/flute, keyboard trio plus Percy Jones on bass, Narada Michael Walden on drums and Phil Collins on percussion. Great writing, great playing.

They've just announced they're calling it a day, but Funeral for a Friend - Hours was a great album.

Emo mainly passed me by but I saw them live about 10 years ago, bought the album & ended up loving it. Its somewhere between hair rock Bon Jovi & early Manic Street Preachers.

The Comsat Angels - Waiting for a Miracle... great debut album and the bass is beautifully prominent.

Can's 'Future Days' is one of my favourite albums ever. I love Holger Czukay's bass playing.
