Underrated albums/pleasant surprises

[ivan_2068]

Pleasent surprise:

Revolutions (Magenta): Never thought I would listen the great early 70's sound again in a new band, really the best album in 10 years IMHO.

Lex Rex (Glass Hammer): Really good album, diferent but great.

Underrated albums:

1.- Mediterranean Tales (Triumvirat): Since I was a kid (long ago), everybody talked about Spartacus and Ilusions in a Double Dimple (and I love both), but nobody ever talked about Mediterranean tales. Not in the same level of the other two, but very good music.

2.- No Earthly Connection (Rick Wakeman): Don't expect Six Wives but very underrated, not even released in CD.

3.- Their Satanic Majesties Request (Rolling Stones): IMO the best Stones album. They really tried to release a trascendental album totally diferent to the rest with some psychedelic, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Clubs Band and prog' influence. Somebody once told me John Mc Laughlin played in the tour, don't know if it's true.
