An observation: Your favourite moments of bands and artists always seem to be of their most mainstream and well known material. Is this because of your general liking for pop music or is it because you just don't bother listening to their deeper, more obscure (and often better) material?
i think most people only know the most popular works of most people. many people know most of the works of some people (i do). and no one knows most of the works of most people.  would be too many works in total. i hope that makes sense.
