This album, a combination of Lo-fi folk is perhaps one of the most mellow collection of tracks that I have ever come across. It is a great mix of songs that will break your heart and then mend it just as fast. Of all the people Ive shown this album, not one of them had heard of it, and of those same people, not one of them did not love it.
I know I just wrote about this band and album a week ago, but this is a must have. This is a band that is as great as they are underated, and its songs certainly withstand the test of time. Tracks like Sex Beat, She's Like Heroin to Me, and For the Love of Ivy are in my opinion some of the best songs around and are certainly worth your time.
While bands like Soundgarden and Nirvana are often credited with the creation of grunge music, the groups of the early ninties with the seattle style owe everything they have ever written to this band here; Mudhoney. Superfuzz Bigmuff is, as the name suggests one of the fuzziest albums ever made, the guitars with more distortion than you could possibly imagine, or possibly forget.
4. Come on Pilgrim by the Pixies (1987)
While the Pixies later albums Surfer Rosa and Doolittle were met with some critical reception and media popularity niether of those albums recieved the fame they deserved. With that said, the Pixies first album, often written off as a prelude to their later work is just as great and even more underappriciated than the other two or any of the ones after those.
Perhaps one of the greatest underated albums of all time, the minimalistic approach taken by Suicide's two members was the first of its kind. Perhaps the first band to ever use a drum machine and a synthesiser, the first band to use the word punk rock, and the first no-wave band, Suicide was an extremely influencial group, with songs that will both frighten and disgust.
