Albums you just rediscovered after years of neglect

This is a thread dedicated to that album you found on your shelf, covered in dust, and upon listening, remembered how great it was.

My submission will be Spacehog: You'd Prefer an Alien. This is a band I have not heard about in years, and was never really that into to begin with, but this is one of those one-off albums I bought years ago, mainly for the single In The Meantime (this was in the days before you could download songs, so if you wanted a particular song, you pretty much had to buy the album to get it), but it was a pretty rockin' little album, and one that I've been enjoying again recently, thanks to a discovery of a box of CDs in my crawlspace that I'd long since forgotten I'd put there. Some great songs, including 'In The Meantime', 'Starside' and 'Space is the Place'.

Has anyone else recently made a similar discovery? Share away, so we can all feel a little nostalgia for musical days past!!!

    Lemonheads - Its A Shame About Ray

    .....all the excitement about their return got me to dig this one out again - Rudderless is such an amazing little pop ditty, one of my all time favs
    In my world everyone is a pony,
    and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!

  • Soul Coughing-Ruby Vroom

    With Mike D's solo stuff playing on the radio, made me pull out this gem. Love this band. They opened up for Dave Matthews back in the day and they totally blew me away. So much, that Dave was a let down, a total disappointment compared to the freshness that Soul Coughing but into their show. Then preceeded to see them numerous times when they were the headliner and just an amazing band.

    Live-Throwing Copper is just a great album start to finish...I will be pulling that one next! Thanks!

  • I'll go with...Sponge, Rotting Pinata. Aside from the singles Plowed and Molly, its a good little album. The title track Rotting Pinata and Drownin' are a couple of standouts.
    Jam out with your clam out.
  • Afghan Whigs - Black Love

    It has a good mix of soul and rock n roll that is on it's way back again. Plus I just ordered the Twilight Singers "Powder Burns" and needed a reminder of Dulli's work.

    The Refreshments album with the one radio hit on it. You can tell I am into it when I don't know the songs name. But the gist of this thread is rediscovering and that album was pretty damn good.
    You've changed your place in this world!
  • Ah, that's why I put up this thread, already tons of good discs in here that I haven't listened to in years, tonight I'm pulling out Alice in Chains-Dirt, and Live-Throwing Copper....two excellent discs I have not heard in a long time.

    A couple more: Toadies-Rubberneck, Better Than Ezra- Deluxe, Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun (for the sweet guitar solo in 'Sick of Myself')

    Indeed... a few good ideas... Presidents of the USA: I had almost forgotten them.

    An album i've always neglected because it's probably their worst studio album, but every now and again i dig it out and give it a listen. Each time I discover something new about it that I like and it grows on me a little more.

    Can't imagine ever neglecting this one. Love it.

    The Black Crowes- The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion

    Lately I've been rediscovering this band, and I hadn't listened to this album in years. I was listening to it in my car on the way to work yesterday and it blew me away all over again. I think it's easily one of the best rock albums of the last 15 years. Not sure why I ever stopped listening to it.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    Sugar - Copper Blue

    One of my most favorite albums from years back -- they are great to listen to during the Fall months (before hunting season)...driving up north in Michigan for some trail riding on the mountain bike.

    Good call, haven't listened to that album in ages.

    For me it's been Celebrity Skin by Hole. Pure pop genius! Can't get enough of it right now.

    Amen to that! Such a great band that I've always overlooked until they recently got back together. After seeing them 3 times since their "rebirth", I'm hooked!

    The Cardigans - Gran Turismo

    One hit wonder they are not. Gran Turismo is an album that I didn't really like when I puchased it seven years ago; but recently I listened to it and was blown away. I also recently picked up their latest, "Super Extra Gravity", which is another fine album. Totally underrated band.
  • New Radicals, Soul Coughing and Reel Big Fish also been playing the Basketball Diaries soundtrack again after several years of not listening to it.
    Oh dear dad

    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me
