Maybe not underrated, moreso unappreciated.

Neil Diamond - Johnathan Livingstone Seagull Soundtrack (1973)
Paul Horn - Inside the Great Pyramid (1976)

Two incredibly beautiful and peaceful albums.

Sharks - First Water (1973)

Inspired by Jaws, no doubt

reply

You mean Jaws was inspired by the album.

reply

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure when Benchley first published Jaws

reply

He had been researching and writing since 1971 and the book was completed 1973, I think. Released in early 74?

reply

the UK is so small, but it dominates my music, too

I don't feel the same way about their film industry, outside of Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, and movies like "Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner"

reply

Though there are some great movies, I'm not a huge fan of UK movies either. Their TV shows are fantastic though.

reply

ever see "Peep Show"?

reply

Only a few episodes.
