“Mainstream. Boring. Pedestrian.”
Yes, so are many good things in life, like Apple Pie, mashed potato salad, honor, fidelity, pride in workmanship, and values that are conservative because they are worth keeping. I’ll guess you don’t like Peter Frampton because his album was so popular.
Then tell us, explain, the purpose of, uh, sharing with us those lists of yours.
What makes one valuable to others is uniqueness of one’s contribution, I think. Who needs to know my recipe for apple pie, or for mashed potatoes, which is already known to everyone. I’ll give you a recipe for mashed potatoes that includes bulgarian buttermilk and bacon chips. Not many know it.
Popular taste is Danielle Steel, Thomas Kinkade and Dan Brown, thank you very much, I’ll pass. As for Peter Frampton, his multi-million selling album “Frampton Comes Alive” was at one point on the lists of the worst rock albums ever. Popular taste. What’s to brag about if you follow the crowd?
