Well-known music you've somehow overlooked (or never got round to hearing)

[Karl Henning]

Well, your position is that Lucas is a supernal genius. And Jar Jar is a steaming turd of an artistic misstep.

Jar Jar appears as a LEGO mini-figure in the Lego Star Wars video games. He also appears as an Angry Bird with a hook move in Angry Birds Star Wars II.[citation needed]

Do you watch movies you know you don't like just because they are on television? Talk about being enslaved by the magic box!

Or maybe you do enjoy the movies more than you are willing to admit yourself? Even that happens sometimes.

Oh God. I give up. If I said I vowed never to watch it again, you'd say "you haven't given it a proper chance".

I've seen the movie twice. I didn't enjoy it either time, my problem isn't particularly with Jar Jar Binks despite the stereotyping of why people don't like the movie, it's because the entire human cast looks bored out of their wits and delivers their dialogue with about as much as enthusiasm as a recitation of local stock prices for miscellaneous vegetables.  And that's the last thing I'll say on the matter.

[Karl Henning]

Vegetable stock pricing would be exciting compared to that script! Nay, it would be very genius!

"Senator! The rebels have raised the price of asparagus by 3 credits!"

"Dammit, they must be stopped!"

[Karl Henning]

"These are not the broccoli crowns you're looking for."

[Madiel]

"I find your lack of carrots disturbing."

Was that, or a variation of it ever spoken in Star Wars, Mirror Image?

For these intergalactic matters, you'll have to summon Yoda using The Force.

For these intergalactic matters, you'll have to summon Yoda using The Force.

Or as Yoda might say, "The Force you must use, Yoda to summon."

I have a bad feeling about this thread.......

The moment an OP is somehow written that it is or can be read as a negative... that is where it often goes.

Changing the heading of the OP to
"Music you know of but have not got around to listening to, yet..."
or some such is, I'm sure, more directly what was intended anyway.

If the thread title could be altered, I bet any further responses would re-rail what is now a relative derailment... just sayin'

[Madiel]

We could have a thread on "opening posts you've avoided".

I do find the whole idea of "avoiding" music a bit odd, because most of what I listen to is something I've had to actively seek out. It's not as if I've sighted a piece of Phillip Glass marching down the street towards my door and I've had to pretend no one is home. I just don't go looking for opportunities to listen to it.

[Belcher]

You must have started when you were in the womb, or even at the time of your conception. 

I have 28 years of listening (started at 14) but I've never heard Wagner's Tetralogy, Bach's Goldberg Variations and Bruckner's Ninth, to name just a few. 

Nice one with the womb. I loved it.

Thread should have been dead two years ago by rights and I honestly don't care to read it these days, but I'll take that under advisement.

[Karl Henning]

Music [I've] somehow managed to avoid?  Up until five years ago, I might have replied "Bruckner";  but I have since taken care of that.

I am definitely avoiding the newest Star Wars movie.

I am definitely avoiding the newest Star Wars movie.

It's very entertaining, but lacks the vision and creativity of George Lucas.
