Albums you thought received undeserved bad press, basically
End of the Game-Peter Green (easily the most interesting thing he ever did)
Like Flies on Sherbert-Alrx Chilton (nihillistic perfection)
I Get Wet-Andrew WK (The fact that so many people seem to miss the irony in this one concerns me)
Song to God-Cardiacs (While I'm not surprised that their music goes over the heads of brainless music critics, I still think it's wrong that NME did a whole article talking about how annoying they are, but then call Oasis the greatest band ever)

I have always believed that the fascination of music and music discussion in general is the fact that each of us have our own personal tastes ... I wouldn't put too much creedence with critics !!! I use them as a basic guideline to see what they think about a certain album !..Most critics slammed the new one from the band Of Montreal - Paralytic Stalks because of two avant garde pieces at the end of the album !!!!!...lol..I love the album personally !

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

This is so true. I believe this to be true with so many things, not just music. Well said, SteveO!
