Did it bomb when it originally came out? If so (even if it is a good album or underrated band)is it in the top ten? Also, there seems to be a lot of people making assumptions that this music is to trendy to be good. Maybe check yo' stats. Also very good list. White Light/White Heat! i think maybe some people are missing the point of this list.

And weren't all of Robert Johnson's recordings re-released in a box set in the mid 90s, including outtakes? And hasn't Eric Clapton listed Robert Johnson as a major influence? Hardly a bomb. Obscure to some? Sure. Not a bomb. Isn’t that Robert Johnson album on the cover of Bob Dylan’s Bringing It All Back Home?

I could be wrong but i'm not sure ANY of their albums sold all so well when they were still a fully functioning band. But then, ALOT of those bands/artists that helped to start the punk scene never had a good selling first album. You know until years later and people realized 'hey wait. these guys who were only around for 2 years had some pretty good music going on!' and THEN people buy the albums Jacob,

Cuz without them (namely velvet underground) there'd be no punk music to speak of. and while I can't stand the garbage labeled as 'punk' NOWadays (read: basically emo crap). The ramones, pistols, etc. etc. wouldn't have been without Lou reed. Awesome seeing velvet underground and iggy n the stooges on here.
