I was also listening a lot to all albums and artists you list in your post.
"New Values" is very uneven but has some of iggy´s best songs, "Fear Of Music" is my favorite T H album, "Marquee Moon" is an alltime classic.
I was also a big Wire fan at the time. And Gang Of Four.

C'mon people, the theme is "Missed Classics," *NOT* "My Favorite Recordings of All Time."
Maag's Midsummer Night's Dream is even listed on the NPR Performance Today 50, fer chrissakes.
Alex, while my tongue is firmly in my cheek, I think you're being a little harsh. The original premise of the opening post in the thread was stated as, "What Classic albums have you in your collection that you think deserve wider definition." In the case of the Maag, it fits the definition of a classic, yet many people don't know it, and I certainly thought a lot of folks around here might enjoy it. Its presence on the Performance Today list just means that Ted Libbey feels the same way I do. Nevertheless, I'll endeavor to be more obscurantist in any subsequent posts.
The Triffids - Sssssshhhh JBW - don't tell ém about the Triffids - one of the best bands to come out of Western Australia and Australia - with the Go Betweens, Radio Birdman and that bands offshoots, Phantom Records and Saints/Laughing Clowns etc this was part of my late 70's/early 80's soundtrack.
The Triffids were the kind of band to make a bloke break down and cry on the backstreets of London remembering the space of home.

Sorry Henry, I know I am giving away too much but I just can't stop myself sometimes.
A change of pace - my favorite English band.

Australian groups like Triffids, Hunters & Collectors, Go-Betweens, Hoodoo Gurus and of course Nick Cave´s Birthday Party were very popular in Sweden in the 80´s.

This one may get boo-hooed for not being obscure enough, but to me this is a classic which not many people know (at least in my experience)
Not by me, as far as I am concerned this is an excellent choice and Here Come The Warm Jets would have been far more obvious. TTM(BS) is the better album fwiw.
"The True Wheel" is perhaps my favorite Eno song ever.
We are the 801
We are the central shaft
And we are here to let you take advantage
Of our lack of craft
Certain streets have certain corners
Sooner or later we'll turn your.
We are the 801
We are the central shaft
And thus throughout two years we've crossed the ocean
In our little craft (row, row, row)
Now we're on the telephone
Making final arrangements (ding, ding)
We are the 801
We are the central shaft
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
Looking up and down the radio
Oh, oh, nothing there this time
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone said they saw it parking in a car lot
Looking up and down the radio
Oh, oh, nothing there this time
Going back down to the rodeo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, here we go!
We are the table the captain's table let's get it understood
Let's get it understood
We are the losers we are the cruisers let's get it understood
Let's get it understood
We are the diners the final diners let's get it understood
Let's get it understood
Most of us are tinkers, some of us tailors
And we've got candlesticks and lots of cocktail sticks
We saw the lovers the modern lovers and they looked very good
They looked as if they could
We are the neighbours the nosy neighbours we think just like you would
We think just like you should.

I genuinely think that the Peter Hammill, Ange and Slapp Happy records that I've cited are ones that have been unfairly neglected because they are perceived to be progressive and/or art rock. As far as I'm concerned they're great records that everyone should hear at least once.
Just ignore the hideous Jean-Michel Brezovar guitar solo at the end of "Au-Dela du Delire".

I love the music of both Peter Hammill and Slapp Happy but unfortunely I have never heard of Ange.
I really like Slapp Happy vocalist Dagmar Krause very much. She later sang in Art Bears. A group she formed together with Henry Cow folks Fred Frith and Chris Cutler. This is my favorite album by them:
