Who are your favorite artists that have ZERO albums on the acclaimed music list?
Mine are Lush, the Pale Saints, the Primitives, the Beautiful South, the Pastels, Curve, Apples in Stereo, Dressy Bessy, Mansun, Cast, Inspiral Carpets, Ned's Automic Dustbin, Her Space Holiday, the Delays, Rooney,the Concretes, JJ72, the Cardigans, the Catherine Wheel, Republica, Shonen Knife, Of Montreal, Mull Historical Society, the Frames and the Lilys.
Think that might be Jackie Leven. The most underrated artist that I know of. Why he's not more acclaimed is beyond me. A couple of his albums, especially "Fairytales for Hardmen" (1997), should be on the list.
The catalog of his former band Doll By Doll was reissued this spring, by the way. Everyone should check that out. The stuff is so great it hurts!

Don't take it from me. Here is a quote from the late, great John Peel:
"My favourite record of the last ten years and possibly my life is an LP by a New York woman born in Nashville called Laura Cantrell. It's country, and I don't know why I like it, but it has the same sort of effect on me as Roy Orbison had in the '60s."
