Some other factors that result in disappointment with classics: Cultural context. Sometimes something is brilliant for what it dared to do in a particular timeframe, but that doesn't age with the album and becomes lost in time. Also, people seem to have a hard-on for artist who invented a thing, but are less impressed with artists that combined or refined a thing. For me, I don't really care that Blah Blah invented the time signature or whatever--I'm more interested in what can be done WITH that invention than the mere invention OF it. So again, a lot of classic albums or great artists are lost on me.

Hell ja! Once I stick your unloaded rifle into my mouth (I'm assuming rifle since it's illegal to mail a handgun) and pull the trigger I can sell it and I have another 3 years of Trump for gun prices to rise.

Thank you so much, Chula. I'm trying to save up right now and could really use a boost.

Mostly agreed but more in the sense that people being inspired by innovatuon make it so difficult to see how innovative the original work is in a world of those inspired by those inspired by those inspired by those inspired by pop music inspired by the innovative.

Yeah I agree. I kinda feel the opposite of those people, since I care more about how the end result sounds to me now than what it meant back when it was new.

Frownland

Haha what kind of loser would drop a pink album?

You can mail a loaded gun? In California?

I don’t know what this game is but Ziggy Stardust is obviously unassailable. 10/10 should be the only poll option so people can’t make fools of themselves.
