Sorry if you got this individually as well as via the list, but I'm very proud of the piece I helped put together for Bullz-Eye. If you have a favorite album that's kind of obscure, yet it's so good that you buy it whenever you see a used copy, just so you can give it to someone who hasn't heard it yet, then you're gonna want to check out The Best Albums You've Never, Ever Heard (Well, Probably Not, Anyway). Bullz-Eye's crack team of music writers have joined forces and taken it upon themselves to try and rescue 30 of their favorite all-too-unheralded releases from obscurity, offering brief descriptions of each album, as well as several "recommended if you like" suggestions as points of comparison. In addition, the artists themselves have been interviewed whenever possible, in order to offer a brief look at their careers - with specific emphasis on the recording of their honored album - as well as a bit about their current goings-on. Featured albums include: * Ballboy, Club Anthems - recommended if you like Belle & Sebastian, Arab Strap, The Reindeer Section "It was never going to be promoted very well, and the daytime radio was never likely to play lots of the songs because of the swearing." - Gordon McIntyre, Ballboy * Fluid Ounces, In The New Old Fashioned Way - recommended if you like Ben Folds Five, Joe Jackson, Jack's Mannequin "There were far too many beers consumed during the making of that record for anything to be accurately recalled." - Seth Timbs, Fluid Ounces * Nik Kershaw, 15 Minutes - recommended if you like Nick Heyward, Colin Hay, Tears for Fears "I didn't expect anyone other than my mother to buy it. (I gave her a discount!)" - Nik Kershaw * Darden Smith, Sunflower - recommended if you like Bonnie Raitt, Chris Whitley, Lyle Lovett "At the time, I had no deal, no manager, no agent. All I had was a lawyer.and I couldn't afford to talk to him very much!" - Darden Smith Are you sold yet.? If so, head on over: http://www.bullz-eye.com/music/features/2007/best_albums_never_heard/home-01 .htm And don't be afraid to forward the info a friend, post on your blog, or, hey, if you're a shout-it-from-the-rooftops kind of person, have at it.because A) we're really, really proud of it, and B) this is a piece written by music geeks for music geeks, and if you know happen to know one (or you are one yourself), then you know how upset they'll be if they miss a chance to learn about a great album that (probably) hasn't crossed their path before!
