@“exodus”#p156119 Yes I could discuss this all day and night!
Overlooked in the Floyd context you could be right - chances are if you bought Animals you bought a lot of their other records. There's a lot of other context on that album, even down to you if you could handle almost an entire Roger Waters sung album (needless to say The Final Cut will be a bit of a shock) and the change in the messages the songs had. Dark Side to almost anything they did or a lot of other bands works is a bad comparison.

@“exodus”#p156119 Or something!
Yeah I haven't had a cup of coffee yet, I need to prepare for this debate!
@“Tom of the Fog”#p156098 this reminds me of their habit of rapping off weird food names. from super disco breakin: “sometimes i like to brag / sometimes I’m soft spoken / when I’m in holland i eat the pannekoeken”
@“esper”#p156142 I‘m listening to Paul’s Boutique now, and it just doesn't stop with the food references. I had breakfast not to long ago but now I want eggs!
@“exodus”#p156155 hah. No, I've never seen that film. I think you might have mentioned it a couple times and it stuck with me. Playdium was also the name of a massive Sega arcade in Mississauga, Ontario that shut down during the pandemic.
Was Gita trying to channel the Trump approach to speech writing? I mean, it's unlikely. She was a lot more coherent, for one. But I feel like there was at least some of that flavor.
Of all the stuff that's been said about FF16 on this forum and on this show, it was Patrick Miller who finally convinced me that I want to play that game.
Re: previous discussion of perceptions of overlookedness I always think about that also in terms of where you live. If you live somewhere pretty hip (like say, the Bay Area), then maybe Bjork seems like a very famous person because even if her early stuff was pretty big in terms of sales those sales were likely concentrated in specific places, so you‘re fairly likely to run into another person who has some of her records. But if you lived somewhere more rural and you saw a Bjork video randomly on cable and fell in love with her stuff, you might be the only person within a 100 mile radius that owns any of her albums. I’d definitely never heard of Bjork until I moved to Portland in my late teens (around summer 2000) and suddenly I met a ton of people who were obsessed with her.
@“Coffinwarehouses”#p156184 yeah, that is a good point! Growing up in the bay area she was for sure just on all the radio stations (that played rock or pop). Plus I had MTV where she was in heavy rotation. My experience might be different from many!
