Records that deserved to sell millions but didn't.
Advertisements [?]
Now, I'm not talking about your favourite records that didn't sell. No matter how you cut it, Nick Drake was never going to outsell Elton John. I'm talking about great records with hit potential all over them, great singles, dynamics, the lot. Records that deserved it, but never sold the millions deserving of them.
Here's a few,
The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
Big Star - #1 Record, Radio City
The Go-Betweens - Liberty Belle...., 16 Lovers Lane
Eighteenwheeler - Year Zero
Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs
The Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro
The Aloof - Sinking
Deus - In A Bar, Under the Sea
Tindersticks - Second album, Curtains
Sloan - One Chord to Another
Super Furry Animals - Radiator, Rings Around the World

I'd also include Generation Terrorists, Everything Must Go and This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours, which were big sellers in Europe, but never sold the millions they deserved to sell in the US.

What about you lot?
