Although, in hindsight it's kind of embarrassing, I had bought,listened to and got tired of Hootie & the Blowfish, about 6 months before they hit it big.

So, yes, I missed it in the opposite direction.

ACK!

Once again, Sloww. Are you SURE you are in the right thread?

Or do you think that "Really big songs" means songs which are lengthy?!

My bestfriend had not, until last night, ever even heard of Klingons.

Really? I mean, I can understand how you miss some really big pop song, but to not know what Klingons are? That's impressive.

I took it to mean good songs, as a for instance, that were somewhat overlooked, for whatever reason.
My examples all happened to be of the same condition.
So what? Ya cornponehead.

i tend to be in the too early or too late with pop culture.

I either figure it out way ahead, get myself bored with it or figure it our late when everyone else starts to get bored with it.

i never catch pop culture at the right time, with everyone else...

I always try to keep up though and i do follow every pop stuff. What else is there to fill up pointless chatter time with dumb hoes? right?

Most boy band stuff. It has a tendency to have a similar bland white noise feel to it that I automatically switch off mentally whenever I have the misfortune to hear it- I can compare it aurally to walking past a dairy farm and hearing all those cows lowing.

I doubt I could distinguish one boy band from another, no matter how anodynely handsome or stagily 'edgy' the group members are meant to look.

Thrash metal, death metal, NWOBHM, recycled metal- it's all rusty scrap to me as well.

I've never seen 'Pretty in Pink' or 'Sixteen Candles' all the way through.

I've never listened to a whole Beatles' album. I've never listened to a Led Zeppelin album in its entirety. Or Black Sabbath. Or Deep Purple.

I've never listened to a whole rap album (unless you count the Last Poets or Gil Scott Heron).

I've never read a Donald Trump 'book'. I've never seen 'Melrose Place' or 'Beverly Hills 90210', but I did sit through a whole episode of 'Passions' and a whole episode of 'The Young and the Feckless' for scientific research.

I don't possess a mobile 'phone, and I have never SMS text messaged anyone or anything.

I don't possess a Barbra Streisand album, or a Judy Garland album (I don't really like either of them that much). I don't much care for musicals or Broadway 'show' tunes. Cher does not move me (except for the off switch on the remote).

I saw about 1/2 an episode of Friends in the first season - didn't like it. A couple of years ago I saw a full episode at a friend's house - still didn't think it was very good.

You were SOOO avant garde. And of course, as it proved, absolutely on the money with your assessment.

With 'Friends' like that, who needs battery acid enemas?

Like the curate's egg, it was good in parts.

I never felt it had the wit of 'Frasier' though, and too many inconsequential episodes of non-things not happening to nebbishy people didn't make it a favourite of mine.

Frasier was pretty camp, so it wasn't funny.

Err... since when does being camp rule out being funny?

It didn't ever stop Charles Peirce, nor the original French 'La Cage Aux Folles', nor the Sixties 'Batman'.

More to the point, 'Frasier' wasn't camp all the time, and even when it was camp, the irony of two fictional straight men being portrayed in such a camp way was funny. Add in Daphne's bizarre mutating Manchester accent (and the fact that the actor playing Frasier's father was born in Manchester) her brother's absurd 'Mockney' transatlantic accent, the non-appearance of Maris, Ros Doyle's vigorous libido and an out gay actor playing the obnoxiously heterosexual Bulldog, and you have ironies galore and the potential for a great deal of extremely funny situations, and more to the point, the escalating disaster farce/comedy that 'Frasier' did so well- I mention only the restaurant episode, 'Les Freres Heureux' as a case in point.

Frasier is/was the first tv show since (GOD I HATE THE CENSOR PROGRAM HERE !!!) The D ick Van D yke Show to do farce successfully.
