In all fairness, I put it last because I've never heard it.

THATS NOT HOW RANKING WORKS!

Name some albums from one of your favorite artists that you have for whatever reason never heard, or that you discovered long after you should have. For me, it's Diamond Dogs and Aladdin Sane. I've been a Bowie fan for something like fifteen years now, yet I only started playing those two albums all the way through shortly before Blackstar was released. Those releases between Hunky Dory and Station to Station never really interested me too much until recently when I realized that the era between Ziggy and Young Americans is much more nuanced than a broad "glam" template. I think it was an interview I read shortly before Blackstar that did it. In the interview, there was a lot of talk about Bowie's sax playing and the piano passages on Aladdin Sane...

Anyway, what are some of everyone's embarrassing discography omissions?

I find this happens more with classic rock. There are lots of huge artists I know through greatest hits, radio play, etc, but haven't necessarily listened to certain albums. Like with Led Zeppelin's Presence and Coda. I've heard the bulk of those songs on various comps, movies, at friends' houses, etc, but I don't know that I've ever listened to those records all the way through.

I still don't have Presence from Led Zeppelin. Just recently got NYC Flowers & Ghost by Sonic Youth. There were a few Kinks albums that I was late to the party with as well. The most "embarrassing" for me may be Neil Young's 'Ragged Glory'. For some reason I didn't have it, so I recently took care of that too.
