I just listened to Elvis Presley's 1977 album Moody Blue, which was the final Elvis album released in his lifetime. It features a mix of studio and live performances. I think it is underrated.

Elvis' last studio recordings were the Jungle Room Sessions in late 1976 (recorded inside Graceland). Incredibly underrated material and some of my favorite recordings are from that. The Jungle Room Sessions are especially good if you like his more melancholy ballads (the outtakes before take #1 of It's Easy for You are heartbreaking but revealing).
His cover of Unchained Melody is a major highlight from this period (look for the June 21, 1977 performance--it's on YouTube). And I always love his live performances.
If You Love Me (Let Me Know), He'll Have to Go, Let Me Be There, She Thinks I Still Care... These are all fantastic recordings.

"Lost Themes II" by John Carpenter. I love these albums, and I hope he, Cody, and Daniel can continue to make them.

"...And Justice for All." by Metallica. Love it. Not top tier stuff by the group but pretty damn good. I'd say it's top-tier. That's my favorite album of theirs.

I like the more recent stuff, too, but And Justice for All and Master of Puppets would be my top 2.

"Permanent Vacation" by Aerosmith. While this may have been their big comeback album, that started taking them in a VERY mainstream direction, there's still plenty of good stuff on it. Joe Perry does great work as usual.

The last album I listened to is Experiment Songs by Dorothy Collins, an educational album (probably from the early 1960s) intended for kids. My favourite songs on the album include "We Know the Air is There", "Rocks and Gems and Minerals", "Why is it Raining Raindrops?", "The Earth Goes Around the Sun", and "Where Does the Sun Rise?".
After this, I listened to most of the soundtrack from the 1991 video game Sonic the Hedgehog. I then listened to two tracks credited to the Men About Town Trio, these were very short records (under 90 seconds) released in the early 1930s and usually given away for free or offered for very cheap sale. I also listened to the theme song from the 1970s episodes of "The Price is Right".

I just listened to Switched-on Bach II by Wendy Carlos. It's an album of Bach's music performed on the moog synthesizer. It's very good.

I just listened to The Great Artistry Of Django Reinhardt, a 1954 album by Django Reinhardt. It's very nice.

I just listened to the album Hanky Panky by Tommy James & The Shondells, released 1966. It's not a great album, but I enjoyed listening to it.

"Lost Themes" by John Carpenter. I love it, and play the CD a lot. My favorite tracks are "Obsidian", "Domain", "Mystery", and "Purgatory".
