Most underappreciated posters?

We all know the hyped (overhyped?) posters...DC, Hawaii, Toronto, etc.

But what posters out there are actually underappreciated? I don't necessarily mean in terms of value (though that's probably part of it), but mainly what posters look really good but rarely get talked about?

My vote is for this one: http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/40683


I rarely hear anybody looking for it, but I love it. It's simple, clean, and it looks REALLY good in person. Much better than some of the posters that have so many colors it looks like a fat kid vomited the day's meals all over it.

    This was the first poster I bought and still is my favorite one. I guess I just have a thing for parading elephants.

    I think the Dublin/Leeds/Reading poster is unfairly slagged off. I like posters that look like a rough screen print: only a few colours, some colour over the lines, some big patches of colour. That poster ticks all the boxes. There's not enough love for the simplicity of the Katowice poster either! On the other hand, I'm not really a fan of the posters with intricate designs with neat lines and lots of little bits of colour, so i can't stand the Toronto dragons poster.

    I've always loved New Orleans 03, strangely much more than Birmingham of the same year, ever though there's hardly a difference. It just looks like McCready to me :)
    http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/1702

    HOB 05 is such a stunning image IMO, and even though its coveted and valuable, I seem to love it much more than most. I actually thought about using the image for the label on my homemade Pinot Noir.

    The Catholic Trio gets buzz, but its still underappreciated. Just too cool and funny of an idea.

    I love the Klausen Philly 05 just because it looks like something I'd see in a famous museum around the world, yet it still says Pearl Jam on it and I can hang it in my house.
    http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/28828

    Outside of PJ but kinda related, MMJ had what I think is one of the coolest posters out there ever. The detail is unreal, and the image really comes together when you take the time to look at it.

    that is a nice one: simple and aesthetically pleasing graphic design.

    One i think is underappreciated is kitchener 05. heck the boxers, blood and gas pump theme was so timely with that fall's spike in gas prices it was a hell of s coincidence.

    Is your Houston 00 a Houston poster or the Portland poster? I absolutely love that poster but thought it was the Portland show. I was at that show (Portland) but was unable to get a poster. It's one of my favorites.

    You can't really tell from the picture, but there is some crazy art inside the lettering.

    This is my favorite poster that I own. I like this poster that are more of a design than a specific image. The Rutherford also looks better in person because of the darker red on red design.
