A few albums that I had forgotten how good they were

I was recently listening to some albums that I hadn't touched in a while and realized just how good they were.

Alice In Chains - Alice In Chains (I never really got into this at first but now I think it's pretty good)

Better Than Ezra - Deluxe (Only liked the hits when it first came out, but soon realized most of the other tracks are good too)

Blind Melon - Blind Melon (No Rain is definitely not even in the top 5 on this album)

Chicago - 17 and 19 (Good 80s albums)

The Cranberries - Everyone Else is Doing It So Why Can't We (Totally reminds me of college)

Deadmau5 - Random Album Title (perfect electronic album)

Def Leppard - Hysteria (one of my 80s favorites when I was into hair metal)

Goo Goo Dolls - A Boy named Goo (another one I bought for just the hits)

INXS - Shabooh Shoobah (originally bought for one song, but realized the whole album was great)

Jars of Clay - Jars of Clay (never was really into Christian rock, but love this album)

Live - Throwing Copper (the hits on this album were played so much I hated Live but the other tracks are great)

NIN - Ghosts I-IV (probably had only listened to this album twice since it came out but gave it another chance and found it's good for background music while working)

311 - 311 (everyone in college had this album)


Anyone else have some forgotten gems?

    I have to agree with Better Than Ezra Deluxe, I love that album!
    Then to add one of my own to the mix is Seven Mary Three Churn, I know Water's Edge and Cumbersome got overplayed on the radio, but the rest of that album is phenomenal!!!

    Cracker - Kerosene Hat
    I listen to this record at least 2-3x a month. I made a copy that includes the Eurotrash Girl CD single that had 3 b-sides and a live cover of Neil Young's Fuckin' Up.
