Post by: maximusotter on April 11, 2006, 21:23:34 PM
Remember this one? Lets see who has the most unpopular music according to Amazon.co.uk.

Ill start with a doozy, an album thats one of the best "countrypolitain" albums in the last 20 years:

Mike Ireland, Learning how to live, sales rank: 307,591

According to the No Depression website, its only sold 2.500 copies ever! Strange, as anybody I ever play it for, whos a country fan just loves it. Proves that Nashville will freeze out real talent. ;)

Beat me, I dare ya! :lol:

Thokozile by Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens

I bought this on vinyl on a whim, way back in 1987 - and I still listen to it regularly to this day (Im even playing it now á la mp3! :D)

QuoteHere is some great upbeat, harmonius music. The instrumentation is Western (guitar, bass, drums and the occasional synthesizer) but the vocals are not of this hemisphere. The contrast of Malathinis groaning with the gorgeous harmonies of the Mahotella Queens is striking and adds to the fun set up by the driving rhythm and lilting guitar. This is essential AfroPop music

:nana: The sound of Soweto!  :nana:

Not quite the fringest at #290,052 but cutting it fine. :)

I think the conclusion to be taken from that is that "every thing ever done by Jack Bruce is destined to be the lowest selling thing on Amazon" :lol:
