Also, people seem to have a hard-on for artist who invented a thing, but are less impressed with artists that combined or refined a thing. For me, I don't really care that Blah Blah invented the time signature or whatever--I'm more interested in what can be done WITH that invention than the mere invention OF it. So again, a lot of classic albums or great artists are lost on me.
Mostly agreed but more in the sense that people being inspired by innovatuon make it so difficult to see how innovative the original work is in a world of those inspired by those inspired by those inspired by those inspired by pop music inspired by the innovative.

Yeah I agree. I kinda feel the opposite of those people, since I care more about how the end result sounds to me now than what it meant back when it was new.

I don’t know what this game is but Ziggy Stardust is obviously unassailable. 10/10 should be the only poll option so people can’t make fools of themselves.

Ditto. Absolutely brilliant album in every single regard. Hearing this the first time was a total revelation. So unique and original.

One of Ken Scott's best works. The mix of Bowie's voice, acoustic guitar, and then Ronson's crunchy guitar is amazing.

Great read BTW:

Wow, that is such a coincidence!!! I am reading a book by Ken Scott and Bobby Owinski too.
