Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

The Explorers - Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay's short-lived post-Roxy Music band with singer James Wraith, from 1985.
They were the first proper gig I went to, and the friend I went with bought the album. I only had a cassette copy of it for years, but managed to download it a few years ago. A couple of months back I finally managed to buy an original CD copy, and hearing it again at proper quality is fantastic - some bits of the production are almost hilariously dated ("Hey, this gadget is called a sampler! Let's see what we can do with it!" ) but the songs are actually really good.
And I still can't hear an owl in the woods at night without singing "Falling For Nightlife" in my head .

Just a great rock record and wonderful guitarring from Zal Cleminson.
Better than anything they recorded with Alex IMHO

I can't think of an unpopular album which I like. Maybe anything by Nickelback. I like Nickelback!
I dug out this thread, because a couple of bands have been occupying my mind recently that I never really knew anyone else got in to, well except my wife but she doesn't really count because she was forced to listen to them so much, she had to end up liking them. It was either that or ditch me.
Versus - American league 2 indie rock in terms of popularity but superb song writers. Fontaine Toups has a perfect 'I can hold a tune but I'm not really a singer voice', perfect for the genre. Every album they've done is a stoater, new one out soon too. If I was to pick one to stay on thread topic, I'd go for Two Cents Plus Tax.

Seam - I always associate Seam with Versus in my head which is maybe a bit unfair. But another slightly under the radar 90's american indie rock group. They did quiet/ loud exceptionally well. Beautiful clean tones. Almost a pre-cursor for some of the post-rock groups that were to follow, but with vocals... and less reverb... Totally love the tight snare sound too. The track Sweet Pea from their album The Problem With Me was my track of '93. God I'm old....

I should've started a thread dedicated to the greats of US indie labels like Merge and Touch and Go. I could go on for days. One of my favourite musical eras...
But fuck me, how good are these albums? Mick Bolton was a genius! The raw guitar, almost out of tune, no frills, thats not easy to achieve.
Spark up, crack a beer, enjoy.
mudhoney- my brother the cow (did anyone else in the world buy that? not their best work but few corkers)
machinedrum- rooms (odd glitch post dubstep housey breaks nonsense)
pearl jam - vitalogy (yeah.... )
alter8 - full on mask hysteria (glow sticks at the ready lol)
Any album by Fields Of The Nephilim,

Today's new entry is Lloyd Cole's 'Bad Vibes' - apparently not well-liked by critics and most fans, and even he doesn't seem to rate it, but I actually think it's one of his best.

I do love Stone Gossard's solo album Bayleaf.
