50 Most Underrated Albums of the 2000's (So Far): #35

35.Andrew W.K.-I Get Wet (2001)
Andrew W.K. knows how to party. The self-proclaimed king of partying became the party-starting icon he is today in large part to the success of his debut album I Get Wet- which is possibly the most pure fun 35 minutes of music ever recorded. I Get Wet is certainly not the most complex listen on the planet, but if you buy into it- which is not hard at all given W.K.'s authenticity as an artist- you can't help but get swept up in the record's atmosphere. W.K.'s ability to make a breezy record packed to the brim with infectious party anthems that could honestly get even the biggest party poopers in the world to lighten up and have the time of their lives. I Get Wet is essentially the OK Computer or Dark Side of the Moon of the party rock genre.
