Sacred Cows

Robert Anton Wilson · 2012-08-30T17:56:19-04:00

I have diligently reviewed the most overrated albums thread and have realised that although it seemed like there are no sacred cows and that every album/band in the top 50 got a beating it turns out this is not the case. I wonder if people forgot to mention them only because they did not think of them or because these are truly artists/albums that nobody finds overrated: The only artist with 2 albums in the Top 50 that was not mentioned as overrated was: Joy Division Other artists nobody mentioned as overrated: Pxies, Charles Mingus, Jimy Hendrix, The Who, King Crimson, John Coltrane, Talking Heads, Neil Young, Nick Drake Borderline case: Although no one mentioned Hunky Dory by David Bowie as overrated the album Ziggy Stardust was mentioned so David did not escape that thread unscathed. Personally I find that if there has to be only one sacred cow that nobody will ever see as overrated, it has to be Jimy. Even if you do not like him, you are not likely to see him as overrated. Although after all I have read in the overrated album thread nothing would surprise me anymore. What do you think fellow BEAers?
