9 Famous Albums The World Will Never Hear
Including one album you might hear if you live until the year 2103...
For every great album that a band or musician puts out there's almost certainly a huge stack of material that was simply never released. There can be a bunch of reasons why: perhaps the songs weren't deemed good enough by the artist, or they didn't match the album's overall tone, or maybe there was just a change in musical direction.
A handful of songs is easy enough to stomach, but things become a little bit different when it comes to entire records of material. Despite the fact that it's obviously much more difficult for the musician to throw away an album than it is for fans to never hear it, that doesn't mean it isn't often frustrating especially when fans come to know of the album's existence, or even worse when they've been patiently anticipating it for a long time.
You might think that most famous musicians get it right on the first time they're professional, after all surely that's why they're famous? But the truth is normally way more complicated.
From the sci-fi ambitions of two groups of rockers to the hip hop legends who only released a single copy of their latest double album, here are nine famous albums the world will never hear.
