[Mike Anello](http://drupal.org/user/51132) of [Drupal Easy](https://www.drupaleasy.com/) gave a presentation at DrupalCon Paris called ["45 Modules in 45 Minutes: The Best Drupal Modules You're Not Using."](https://www.drupaleasy.com/blogs/ultimike/2009/09/45-modules-45-minutes-best-modules-youre-not-using)

In this interview, Mike provides a brief overview and gives some of the highlights of some of the unsung Drupal module heros. Mike eliminated the [Top 100 most downloaded Drupal modules](http://drupal.org/project/usage), and focused on modules that he's found to be useful, but not already well known or popular.

Mike actively tracks the [New Drupal Module RSS Feed](http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0/feed) and [New Drupal Module listing](http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0) and keeps an eye on modules that he thinks might be useful.

The full list of 45 modules can be seen in his presentation slides below, and linked down below.
