Great albums by big bands that are no-one's favourite
Huge releases by some of the biggest artists in history - that top very few Best Of lists
- The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons: There was a fair amount of confusion over the release of Between the Buttons - it was the Stones' fifth British but seventh American studio album. Reviews suggested it showcased a "fatigue" within the band, but its crisp, captivating melodies are a display of a (slightly) calmer reflection, not weariness.
It's a truth universally acknowledged that Fleetwood Mac's best album is Rumours, The Beach Boys' is Pet Sounds, and The Beatles' Abbey Road... Or is it?
Sometimes a band's best work can get eclipsed by the reputation of their bigger, more famous albums. It's not that the big ones don't deserve the praise they've received, it's just sometimes things fall inbetween the cracks of their back catalogue, and you need to look a bit harder to find them.
We've taken the underdogs of music history, fed them, de-flead them, and given them a nice new collar.
