Ben - yeah, the Pietasters pretty much rock for reissuing that stuff - fortunately I already had it all, since they're my favorite band of all time.
Once I heard Moon had shut its doors, I ripped all my out of print stuff to hard drive, thus ensuring that I won't ever lose it.

i was homeless at the time. so ripping to a harddrive really wasnt an option...but alot of my friends still had a bunch of moon stuff so...

I really like this thread because everyone has something that they really feel is unique to themselves, and we've got such a wide variety. What's bad, though, is that a small part of me wants my favorite "ignored" albums to stay that way, because they make me feel special. Does that make me an elitist? I'm always trying to get away from that. These are the albums I like that I've never seen anyone else have:
Phantom Moon by Duncan Sheik How did you find me here? by David Wilcox Veneer by Jose Gonzalez echoed: Modest Mouse albums before Good news.. both of Rory's Stitt's albums (great for solo piano lovers in the vein of Ben Folds) Sufjan Steven's albums other than Illinois Lemon Parade by tonic
Muse and Elbow are in my top 5 behind only Radiohead From what I understand, they're huge in Britain. I've got all of their albums Definitely get all of Muse's early albums--and Elbow's Asleep in the Back is my favorite falling asleep music.

I'm definitely going to have to check this out now that I've seen it mentioned by another body, I used to love listening to this nameless bootleg I burned that has David Lindly playing with Ry Cooder. Tankles!

Some of you may laugh me out of this thread, but I like Elton John's Leather Jackets (1986), even if many people including Elton himself hate it. It's definitely in the lower half of Elton's albums, but it has such a quintessential 80's synthesizer sound.

Anything by Jennifer Knapp (I came onto her after she had left the music business, though, so it's possible that she was more famous than I think.)
Sara Groves is just now starting to be recognized as the brilliant lyrisist that she is.
Jars of Clay should be more famous than they are.

Maybe this doesn't count, BUT, I really liked the soundtracks from the "last of the Mohicans" movie. The music is awesome!
