Synthesizer Patel Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Filler, in my eyes is any song that isn't as good as the rest of the songs on the album. I don't really know about the artists intent, as there are songs like "Her Majesty" that were obviously intended as throwaways but which are still essential to the album. I suppose when I say filler I just mean songs that I could take or leave. They just serve as buffers between the other better songs. ok. i always took it to mean what i said, that's what confused me.

Mr. Kinsley Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 If it makes you feel any better, there's a very good chance Paul's Boutique probably makes the top 20 that I'm never going to make.I have a horrible confession to make... I've never listened to Paul's Boutique. Maybe I've heard some of the tracks and didn't realize what album they were off of, but sitting down to listen? No. I feel better now.

Maybe I've heard some of the tracks and didn't realize what album they were off of, but sitting down to listen? No. I feel better now. Jeez, what are you doing with your life? I wonder if anyone has ever made a version of that album without them rapping over all the samples? I'd like to hear that, if they have . . . . And . . . I wonder if there will ever be a boy born that can swim faster than a shark? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 3. Our Mother the Mountain - Townes Van Zandt I've been listening to this one a lot lately. I had a couple of Townes songs for awhile "Pancho and Lefty" and the cover of "Dead Flowers" on the Big Lebowski soundtrack, but hadn't really sought him out until earlier this year. Our Mother reminds a bit of Astral Weeks, it's a great album. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
