For example:

John Mayall and the Blues Breakers

Live at Madison Square Garden by Phish

Dick's Picks Vol. 8 by Grateful Dead

And Lotus by Santana

In Absentia by Porcupine Tree. Actually anything by Porcupine Tree. Songs on that album I particularly like are Blackest Eyes, Trains, The Sound of Muzak, and The Creator Has a Master Tape.

Crowded House- Crowded House (Alternative)

Black Sabbath- Dehumanizer (Heavy Metal)

Dream Theater- Train of Thought (Progressive Metal) BEST ALBUM HUMANS HAVE EVER MADE

Korpiklaani- Karkelo (Folk Metal)

Ensiferum- Iron (Folk Metal)

Robert Plant- Fate of Natins (Rock, Folk)

Steve Vai- Fire Garden (Instrumental Rock, Hard Rock)

Iced Earth- Dark Saga (Power Metal)

Dir En Grey- Withering to Death (Progressive Metal, J Rock)

Tool- Undertow (Progressive Metal, Heavy Metal)

Simon and Garfunkel- Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (Folk Rock, Folk)

I'm not in the mood to make a big list now so I'll only mention one: Lizard by King Crimson. I think most KC fans just skip this album because of the bad reviews it gets (in any case it is very underrated). It's a fantastic album though, one of my favorites too.

Indoor Games

Happy Family

Lady of the Dancing Water

(the other two tracks are also great but these 3 I find are the high points of the album)

Bernstein, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Gershwin.

and no its not some rock that no one's heard.

All are very famous. Gershwin and Bernstein are very highly regarded when it comes to 20th century classical music, Miles Davis is perhaps the most famous jazz trumpeter ever and Count Basie is one of the masters of swing. If you mean that the general listener doesn't listen to them then perhaps but I find it more than a bit ridiculous to call the greats of a genre overlooked (no offense intended).

The Pharcyde

MF Doom

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
