Good mention with 'Wildlife' by McCartney, that was one of the first albums of his I got into as a kid. Still sounds good to me now that I'm older. I guess it has some throwaways, but it's a fun album.
A lot of Motown acts have some underrated/under appreciated albums. In particular my favorite Motown group, The Temptations, have "With A Lot O Soul", "Cloud Nine" and "All Directions", those three are absolute classics. People know some of the songs on those albums, but don't realize that even the album tracks are awesome.
David Ruffin, former lead singer of the Tempts, had quite a few solo albums that didn't do well chart wise but are also amazing. Check out 'David' (unreleased until 2004, recorded from 1969-1971), and 'My Whole World Ended'. I actually like his voice and his solo work more than most of Marvin Gaye's stuff in the 70's (though that of course is also quite good).

These categorizations might work If it was 1963 and we were all a bunch of 12 year old girls clutching tear soaked pictures of our favourite beach boy.

I wouldn't call "Spilt Milk" underrated. It is beloved and considered an all time great album by most people who have heard it. "Underplayed" is more like it.

From what I've seen people don't like it, maybe I just read the wrong things about it.. Didn't know it was even considered a great by anyone... I love it!

One of my favourite albums ever. Saw him perform it in its entirety.
Kasim Sultan rocks.
