Which albums are really good, but aren’t well known?
I think “Return of the London School of Jewish Song” is one example.
Doesn’t everyone have different tastes in music? Your garbage are my gems.
There was a series of albums called ‘Destiny’ by Eli Nathan, similar in style to Journeys. Great albums that slipped under the radar.
I’m asking what your gems are.
Your garbage. 😂
Take note of previous post. Chuckled? Good. Now, here are mine:
Yanky and Shabbos
Boruch learns about ShabbosThose two have made a big comeback in my life in recent years, and lots of people here think they’re underrated.
Destiny and Journeys are quite different
Though I’ll grant there is SOME overlap for example the Country Boy song on Journeys 4 sounds like should have been on Destiny
Journeys is much better than Destiny.
No question
I loved Yanky and Shabbos and got myself a copy even though I was single and in my late teens. I didn’t let my kids listen to it tho because of some poor ‘middos modeling’ in the script but I played the songs. Baruch learns about Shabbos is another great one that we played a lot over the years.
ubiq – I LOVED destiny and Journeys! I probably know every song on those albums by heart but I doubt I would be able to tell you which album they are on.
I don’t know if they’re under-rated, but I like Camp Sdei
Chemed’s “Around the Shabbos Table” zemiros albums.DY, was that London album the one with “The Forgotten Princess”? I think that’s an awesome album!
DY, I checked the album. I had that as a kid. Never liked it that much. I’ll try listening to it again.

Gershon Verobas variations 1 is pretty underrated
The Jewish music I hear in kosher supermarkets (the only place I listen to it, because I have no choice) cannot be underrated.
And, mods, didn’t I have another post? Did you take it down, or did it fall off? Or am I hallucinating about a post I did not post?
Hallucinating.
Huju, you’re probably thinking of >this< post.
I used to like Variations when it was one of two tapes in my bunk at Camp Rayim (the other was MBD’s “Yerushalayim We Will Never Leave You”). I tried to go back to it when I was older and couldn’t stomache the music. Partially because it’s just not as good as Abie Rottenberg, partially because it’s all goyishe songs with a few lyrics changed around to sound a little more Yiddish.
They’re called parodies, pufflegrap.
Let’s face it: most Jewish music nowadays comes straight from goyishe songs

People like to say that, but I’m pretty sure it’s statistically untrue.
Actually, they’re not all called parodies. Some
have no (easily observable) humorous intent.Some of them are just plaigiarism, but the good ones are parodies and the bad ones are irrelevant.
Can you name some that you consider good ones?
