Obscure/Forgotten/Ignored albums

@DieselDog -- flogged my copy of Dreams Less Sweet (with the free 12") for £25 on ebay a couple of years back -- so it's worth something after all
Speaking of Pulp, "This is Hardcore" is criminally underrated. Easy listening it ain't, though.

Red Rose Speedway - Wings - the album that came before BOTR it's a masterpiece.

Lifehouse - No Name Face.
It's one of the best post grunge rock albums I've ever heard. Jason Wade was so young when he wrote the songs on it (16/17), and to be honest, there are some of the best lyrics I've ever heard (especially for someone so young)
example.
Quasimodo
'you can be right
and I'll be real
honesty won't be a pain that you'll have to feel
cause I don't need your approval
to find my worth
I'm trapped inside of my own mind
afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find and I
don't want to live like this anymore
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes
does it scare you that I can
be something different than you
would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't
you can't control me
and you can't take away from me who I am
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
you can't change me
you can't break me
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
have you ever felt
like your only comfort was your cage
you're not alone
I've felt the same as you
have you ever felt
like your secrets give you away
you're not alone
I've been there too
cause everyone is looking
and everyone is laughing but I think
everyone feels the same
everybody wants to feel ok
everybody wants to
everybody wants to feel
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
cause I don't want it
I don't want it
you can't change me
you can't break me
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes'

IMHO the one album which never got anywhere near the attention it deserved was by Marillion: Brave. The definitive concept album!
Girl found wandering on the Severn Suspension Bridge, won't speak to the police or anyone.... The album that unfolds is her story. Exapnsaive, raw, beautiful and very moving.
The Girl's Swansong: The Great Escape was -and remains- the finest peice of music I've ever heard and the most moving.

This one is more subjective, it disappeared almost without trace despite good critical reviews.
