This week we’re discussing our top 5 most underrated albums we’ve covered on the show. Not only do we feel each of these records are great in their own right, but we’re also outraged that they don’t get the credit and attention they deserve. These are names we’re all familiar with like the Beastie Boys and White Zombie, but chances are you haven’t heard these albums.

[ORIGINAL PATREON AIR DATE: 12/31/2021]
We deliberately didn't cover this album on our original ELO episode, but we're finally getting to it now. This record is the soundtrack to the box office flop of the same name, Xanadu. Aside from starring Olivia Newton-John, we don't know much about the movie, but the soundtrack isn't too bad! At least the ELO half isn't. The first half is pure Olivia Newton-John, so take that how you will. The two collaborate on only one song here, just in case you were expecting the most 80s supergroup ever. Don't forget to check out our full episode on ELO (links below), as well as our Loose Ends on ELO's most recent album, From Out of Nowhere.

There's no excuse for this one. This album came out two years ago and we had no idea. So we're barely covering it now. On the bright side, Jeff Lynne is still kicking! In addition to the album, we also talk about our adventures at Taco Bell. Don't forget to check out our original episode on ELO if you haven't already. Links below!
