I don't know, I just think Lady GaGa is one of those stars that burn away really fast... I used to hate her because she was all over the TV, but now I'm just indifferent towards her...

We'll each do our part if we stop talking about her.

As much as I agree with this, if there are going to be endless crap pop singers churned out by the industry, I would much rather prefer her to be on top. As I've mentioned, I hate the music...but I really like her attitude. She's got this kind "I'm awesome...**** you" attitude that I find kind of...hot. Despite her weird looking-ness.

Good point by Neapolitan. Sleeper Bands. Good turn of phrase I'd not heard before. Some bands do seem to creep up to their "Immortal Fame" or still be talked about 25 years on. The Libertines is an example of a possible. Also I think Elbow could also be a Sleeper Band. A sound that is new and always experimental will go far. Take Pink Floyd for example. Very Experimental but not so Accessible to all. Elbow Experiment but sell music to more and more each day. Also when a band member dies in a group this can help. Take Jim Morrison and the Doors. Ian Dury. Janis Joplin. When an artsit dies we all start to see someting we may have missed. Its sad when an artist gets more appreciated after death... Jeff Buckley Nick Drake Hendrix Bob Marley Exceptions to these are people like any of the Beatles, Elvis, Jackson. |

I could see progressive metal fans 25 years from now talking about Orphaned Land the same way we talk about Pink Floyd or Rush. They've really chiseled themselves out a prosperous niche amongst the progressive metal community. Metal with religious themes that aren't overly preachy? Yeah that's something of a rarity, in any genre.

Jeff Buckley was headed straight for stardom while he was alive...he sadly died after only making a small amount of music. I think if he had lived, he would have been as recognized (if not more) than he is now. It's just that now that he is dead and all we have is Grace, a few live shows, and sporadic bits of music here and there...people see the genius in just that and give him the credit I have no doubt he would have received regardless.

Grace is a good record and so is Mystery White boy. Got them both. TBH that's all I've heard so cannot comment on anything more he may have done. But what he had was an amazing potential but so has everybody in something be it music or another artform. That's my point in a way. If he lived and simply decided to stop performing nobody would have give a **** apart from possibly complimenting his couple of albums to date and sporadic bits you mention. I do realise he was very talented. A wonderful Voice and for me the two versions of Eternal Life on both albums mentioned are amongst my favourite Guitar Tunes of alltime. As it happens about 5 years ago Urban Hatemonger helped me identify Buckley's Eternal Life. |
