i guess there's a difference between commonly-popular and commonly-revered. Of course, releases during the RIAA's hayday (early 80's to early 00's) have a greater presence due to pumped-up sales.
I actually find that to be an ok album. It's fun 😄 Surprised it's not in our top 1000
And societies taste is useless. Get over it. I was asked to turn of Death Grips at work today cause customers were complaining 🫢 _________________ Doubles & Conch
Saturday Night Fever and Rumours were released around the same time (1977). These were marketed as a record company, thanks in large volumes. Many single release, also contributed to the album's sales figures. In addition, especially Rumours, was long-lasting dumping album. The album had to always be available. How about Grease soundtrack? _________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNGpsnTCUXM
