More You Becomes You
1.  More You Becomes You by Plush
The list author says:
  "A lounge classic. Very Frank Sinatra but in the most contemporary fashion. Give it some time and this will become one of your favourites. Mellow, stripped down and haunting."

Dada
2.  Dada by Alice Cooper
The list author says:
  "Alice isn't particularly under the radar but this album from 1983 is usually dismissed by critics and fans alike. There is not a dud track on this and is one of my favourite AC albums."

Self Evident Truth of an Intui
