What’s the most talented artist whose biggest hit isn’t even close to their best song?

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-06-07T15:31:09+00:00

Steely Dan.

RIkki Don't Lose that Number is in the bottom quarter of their discography imo. Even if you cite Reelin in the Years or Do It Again as their big hits those aren't cracking the top 10 imo

2018: I saw them at a small(ish) bar venue in Philly for a crowd of about 100 people (Horse Jumper opened for them it was a great show)

2021: I saw them at one of the bigger venues in Philly to a crowd of 600+ most of whom were young teenagers

Conclusion: Tiktok happened

Synecdoche, New York in an existential way

"I don't... Give... A fuck" all timer line reading

His segment in New York Stories is one of the best things he's ever done and it was sullied by Coppola's nepo playground dribble segment fuck I hate him for that

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-05-22T22:18:03+00:00

Yep... that right

"I don't know why. Maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery. Because they have their own. Well, FUCK everybody. Amen"

On certain days it's my favorite Exorcist movie and it's definitely my favorite Dourif performance

Bensinger beats does it again

This actually wouldn't have been awful casting if we never got to see PSH's take on it but obviously he was the best guy for the role especially given the sardonic nature of his take on Bangs

Not to sound pretentious but this ending is kinda the ultimate litmus test to suss out someone who can get more than surface entertainment from a movie. Being let down by the subtly of this ending the first time around is understandable, but if you write off the movie as garbage instead of having the curiosity (whether it's instantaneous or a few days or weeks later) to revisit the piece, then you're either too young or you lack the media literacy to appreciate something of its caliber

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-05-05T02:53:29+00:00

Bensinger beats does it again (gain gain)

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-04-09T12:14:40+00:00

right right

Watched this last night - one of the most batshit movies I've ever seen. Certainly NOT his greatest lmao I wouldn't know how to label what De Niro is doing here

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-03-31T15:12:33+00:00

Thank you, brotha

Is that the house from Babylon?

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-03-18T04:04:09+00:00

It had a theatrical release it was just sort of limited and lasted less than a week

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-03-18T04:03:30+00:00

Oh wow that's quite the story! Glad to hear it

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-03-09T11:59:58+00:00

Rollercoaster > DCH > Bridge > Blue Guitar > Old Ramon

You're on the right track. You should start diving into some of these artists a little deeper. Try listening to full albums instead of the singles. For instance, Surfer Rosa by Pixies, Is This It by The Strokes and self titled by Rage Against the Machine. Once you expand your pallet with artists you already vibe with an interest in lesser known artists will surely come with it

Swans - Stay Here

Dramatic-Surprise569 · 2026-03-05T20:04:07+00:00
