#71. 100 Underrated Albums, Part 2
(see Part 1 for more albums)

Here are some albums that don't seem to get the respect that they deserve. They are mostly old school rock and soul music from the 1960s and '70s, my favorite era. This list is very subjective and of course reflects my musical tastes. Most aren't on anybody's top 100, but all could be. The albums are listed alphabetically, and there are no greatest hits compilations. Check out the sample songs!
