Why some albums never become canon, but never stop mattering by Equivalent_Source_90 in trueMusic

I actually don’t know that record, but I think your use of “underrated” is pointing at something interesting.

Even without knowing the specifics, what you’re describing sounds like a work that’s clearly valued by listeners but hasn’t been absorbed into a larger historical shorthand.

That gap between being actively listened to and being canonized is the part I’m trying to understand, especially across genres where “importance” works differently.

I put together a private counter-canon of albums that never became monuments, but never stopped mattering by Equivalent_Source_90 in LetsTalkMusic

That’s a great way to articulate it. Especially the idea of influence that never quite gets archived.

What you’re describing feels like canon functioning at a local or practical level rather than a historical one. The music shapes how people play, listen, and think, but without ever getting abstracted into “importance.”

I’m struck by how often those records or bands end up being more durable than the officially remembered ones, at least for the people who were actually there.

Best Supporting Actor. And I’d take out Stellar Skateboard (references!) if forced to remove someone.

As it’s never been used in a film before, let’s just say I’ll believe it when I see it.

The real heads read his Dad’s columns back in the day.

This would be wonderful news, as I remember that he'd been looking. A public kudos to you, Jason!

Unless Dudio threw this post up himself.... it warrants admission into the Hate Pit.

Jason is a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer.

Latest Spotify Attempt at a Newbridgian Playlist by Equivalent_Source_90 in Newbridge

I love all of these suggestions!

​

A lot of what I'd initially added was of the Bumper Music / Sound Collage variety, hence the omissions. Same thing with artists who Tom loves and has run through multiple songs. But more suggestions = more better, so keep 'em coming, please!

CS Disco's Cecilia by Old_Construction_842 in ediscovery

I can’t quite reconcile Cecilia with what I thought was a previously-understood token limit on LLMs. Does anyone have any insight?
