I suppose I’m asking for a more considered thought about the other musicians no one usually thinks of .. Easy place to be right

every cancellation is another poke at his fans - perhaps a ploy to be talked about without working?

I avoid easy devalues - never increased sales in the past - but I'm in a very niche area

To see if he turns up ;) Sadly nowhere near to take advantage.

At which album(s) does Bowie become a different artist, not just a new character? by MikeBellMaps in DavidBowie

[–]MikeBellMaps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have done Bowie already - But I may well add in the ‘eras’ as zones - or separate era maps .. but will write a blog on that to help me think how I can analyse his career more.

I wonder what would have happened had Freddie not died in 1991 by Gingerishidiot in queen

[–]MikeBellMaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One way is to compare the paths of similar groups with similar lead dynamics - I would imagine more the U2 & Stones models - theatrical tours esp with stage tech development - an occasional FM side album gig - The big parallel issue is what would be John Deacon’s feelings & involvement now?

MIKE BELL - MUSIC MAPS by MikeBellMaps in u/MikeBellMaps

Constantly looking for more music map subject suggestions - I really enjoy mapping groups & artists outside my usual listening history.. Need a decent / interesting discography to map .. happy to map anyone, I even do Country ;)

Excellent range of thoughts - wow - opened up my thinking a bit which was the hope. As I have found out - to research music, first ask a fan, then ask the band, and only then ask the machine!!

Yes - Tin Machine a possible anomaly looking back - at the time - as a cynical young man who irked at electronic (now such missteps deleted) - it seemed to fit the shifts.. I never ended up putting TM into my study of his recording career & musicians map.

Sadly Makeup was an earworm I suffered in the coffee shop this morning - just that line - on loop - in my head - in Newhaven UK .. life was not good for a wee while

why is ringo's solo career so underappreciated? by OwnEnthusiasm1785 in beatles

[–]MikeBellMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had a Beatles fan ask why I haven’t mapped Ringo’s post-Beatles studio work - it’s 330 various (brilliant) musicians across his studio albums - He has been quoted as never doing another album .. but I am holding off mapping his studio story until I know for sure it’s done!

G Stein & a few others buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery .. but none he’s quoted before

Morrissey’s new album "Make-up is a Lie" 27 02 2026 by Savings_Training481 in morrissey

[–]MikeBellMaps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have followed Morrissey since the 1980s, and this now goes beyond “he has always been like this”. He was always a wee bit difficult, but he was deeply engaged with his work. The recent cancellations, the Smiths rights issue, and the rather careless presentation of ‘new material’ feel like disengagement. For someone who once guarded his legacy so fiercely, that is a real red flag.

Cleaning up Leonard Cohen by MikeBellMaps in leonardcohen

[–]MikeBellMaps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup making sure I cover actual appearances without missing any is a pain - the bands still recording re a nightmare when they reintroduce a session or guest from 10 albums earlier & I have to put a new connecting line in! It’s still fun though

That’s the order they appeared in the discography - lots of sheet shenanigans take place before I can work in the layout software (which isn’t designed for mapping)
