I would argue Obscured By Clouds is even more overlooked/overshadowed than Meddle in the Pink Floyd discography.

I kinda of agree with you on this one but let me push it further and ask what about the Final Cut? As overshadowed as can be. Yes I know everybody thinks it's a Roger Waters only album but still it's under the PF name so... and yes it may not be as good as lots of other Pf albums, still, doesn't it have it own merits? It's definitely no my favorite PF album but it was not bad either.

@@brunohebert1351 I hated Final Cut when it was released - I was 22yo. I decided to give it another chance during the UK's first C19 lockdown and now think it is a much under-rated album. It will never hold up against the 3 albums that preceded it but it is much better than it is given credit for imho.

"Meddle" is it for me. I'm 70. Echoes is a windy, cloudy November day at Conant Park in Hillside NJ in 1969 with friends after having dosed. (Yes, I know that Meddle was released in 1972 but I heard it in the wind). I'll pick "The Who By Numbers".

It’s honestly hard to say if The Fragile was overshadowed. Rolling Stone named the tour that supported it the best tour of the year, those shows were packed just on the strength of people wanting to see the band, period, but they were introduced to a number of the songs from the album as a result. Multiple movies have used songs from the album, especially “300..” I mean I didn’t see “With Teeth” as any kind of huge resurgence that was bigger than The Fragile to cause people to kind of forget about it nowadays. I think the one thing that can be said is that it just didn’t have the big singles of the other albums. But I don’t think that prevented it from being popular and/or highly regarded. I think people definitely paid attention to it at the time exactly because of the hiatus you mentioned and most of the reviews were positive. But I do still get why you would put it on the list. It just seems like a more conceptual, experimental piece compared to the rest of their catalog. But you and I are the same age (I discovered based on one of your earlier videos) and it definitely felt like a very substantial somewhat commercial album at the time it came out. Even something as simple as the performance of the title track at the 99 VMAs maybe a few weeks or a month before the album dropped definitely built up the hype, as well as all the magazine articles (back when there were still physical music magazines) 😄
@NTXVinyl Жыл бұрын
I hear you. Thinking back to that time it was HIGHLY anticipated for sure. And my god that tour was mind blowing to see. I was thinking more about how it's perceived today, by the masses - and through that lens feels under appreciated to me. Only because PHM and Spiral had the bigger, more accessible hits like you said.

You could broaden this by bands being overshadowed or overlooked or ignored, for example the great band Family from the late 60’s70’s. They did 7 albums in 5 years. A period when so many bands from that era that had their best albums. This band toured the US but somehow were never that popular as they were in the U.K./Europe. I saw them around 1970 and they were definitely one of the best bands to see live, Roger Chapman has one of the best voices in rock and some critics think he is one of the best ever!

Very interesting video GI thank you many good shouts there. Bleach was my very first thought and not only that I thought it would probably be the album that gave you the idea - and then you said it! 😂 One of my very favourites - and arguably their best record i do play it often, possibly only second to Incesticide in that regard which I find myself slinging on all the time that 2LP 45rpm repress sounds phenomenal! Great shout on Meddle it is definitely in my top 3 Floyd albums - I would say along with Animals and DSOTM. Three Snakes - yes you’re talking about me there - I’ve never heard that one despite loving the first 3 albums! I’ll throw some others into the mix starting with ‘Yield’ I think over the years that’s become my favourite - and most listened to PJ album. How about ‘Between the buttons’ it’s one of my favourites of theirs I think that gets overlooked in the Stones’ back catalogue it sits in between their classic early records and their run of amazing albums from ‘Beggars Banquet’ through to ‘Exile on Main Street’. Take care

The issue I have with Bleach, being an ok album especially given how it was recorded and hosw little means they were able to pu it in, is the over hype that came on it after the passing of Kurt. It was overshadowed at the time but after not so much (the labels wanting to milk as much as possible a band that was done). I like Bleach for its rawness but it has been a little too over hyped afterwards to me.
