What musician/band has the least recognition compared to the volume of their artistic output? ie someone who has like a metric fuckton of albums (say Merzbow) but very little if any fans / positive critical reception / influence on other artists etc.Like an artist that's just "there". No one even saying they're trash or having haters, just simply existing and putting out music for a long long time. Can we think of someone like this?
Bull of HeavenOther than LE MEME LONG ALBUM nobody gives a shit about the 400+ albums they've made
>>131290442Bull of Heaven probably
>>131290442Theres hundreds of bandcamp pages with hundreds of albums. Most of it could barely even be considered sound art, let alone music but i guess it's there.
>>131290489Well are any of them good?
>>131291076That wasnt a metric in the OP. It was just output volume.Also 'good' is subjective
There is a certain artist who posts and advertises here who I won't name. He has shown his advertising metrics which show that millions of people have seen his ads, and many thousands have clicked on his ads and listened to some of his music. He has dozens of albums. Nobody even really hates on his music. It's just completely forgettable trash. Despite over a decade of advertising he hasn't found any following at all.
>>131290442Buckethead has put out probably 500-600 albums, most of it unlistenable trash, but some of it is the best music ever made
>>131291257Imbred has like 3 songs he just records over and over that doesnt count
>>131291097Is that a fancy pants way of saying no?
Ghosts in the US, but not around the world:John ZornGregory IsaacsNana MouskouriStevie Moore
>>131290442Imbred has hundreds of albums, probably 0 actual fans.
>>131291269Don't know who that is but the exact same can be said for Skullflower.Guy just got cancelled on top of ithttps://thequietus.com/opinion-and-essays/black-sky-thinking/skullflower-matthew-bower-fascism-racism/
>>131290442Momus
>>131292663Momus is severely underrated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANbjiOnSvT0
Randy Prozac and his fifty million side projects
>>131292663Momus could have been more popular but he just had to go and marry a 16 year old Sri Lankan girl
>>131292688We been knew thisHe hasn't made a good album since bibliotek but it doesn't even matter because there's so much peak before that
>>131292768He's not nearly quite as prolific but I have much love for Martin Newell (and The Cleaners From Venus) also.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqFavH_OFnM
>>131292787Martin is cool but not severely underratedhttps://youtu.be/dIpUalp7SlA?si=LbT_cWUqtkYuSMmE
>>131292970I whine about this a lot but don't include the ?si thing in links it's just tracking bullshit for Google/YouTube's mass surveillance datamining project.
