Badfinger is in a whole different area code than these other bands, with the exception of Raspberries ... Badfinger and Raspberries did have top ten and maybe even No. 1 chart success. Just not enough of it ... BTW, as long as we have the Nice and Keith Emerson, I'd also include King Crimson and Greg Lake ...
This is in theUK. First three LP’s sold sparingly,and really only in London to an inner circle. I heard The Gift in1969 as my friend had an older brother. David Bowie was given a demo of 1st lp before release. Now touring museum item!
Marvin Gaye WANTED "Here My Dear" to be a flop. I still consider it his weakest. I wonder if Stevie Wonder wanted the same fate for his "The Secret Life Of Plants" disaster.
Remember those books? The power of prayer on plants and the above mentioned. I remember seeing Stevie's The secret life of plants in the record stores and thinking, " huh ?"
It may not have sold well, but I always liked The Secret Life of Plants album. In any case, I can't see any reason for Stevie Wonder wanting his album to flop.
How did you miss The Kinks Are the Village Green Society? Probably the number one flop album most mentioned by music critics and fans as being one of Kinks' best, and hugely influential to future generations of musicians. It went gold 50 years after its release.
Great list but some of the image choices are…. Interesting; a version of Fleetwood Mac from years later than Then Play On, a poster of the Bee Gees duffer of a film to represent Sgt Pepper - do I detect a touch of AI generation ?
I didn't think Satanic Majesties Request was that bad. The thing was not everyone in '67 was on board with the psychedelic thing, some people still prefered the blues orientated rock that bands like the stones were famous for. The Stones didn't exactly do well with the single We Love You either.
Replace the insipid "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" with "We Love You" and the Stones (especially with the creative contributions made by Brian Jones whose unique efforts are numerous) turn this overlooked album into a Psychedelic Masterpiece.
Gee, I wonder what could have turned people away from that Stones album 🤔 It wasnt too long after Lennon said the Beatles were more famous than CHRIST! Western Music very, very gradually got darker & darker throughout my lifetime, but Come Together & Sympathy 4the devil was a real breakthrough & sure indicator of the decadence to invade down the road ! I'm 72

Kind of surprised that Nick Drake cared that no body got him. His music screams you won’t get me.
I need a crowd of people. But I can't face them day to day. Neil Young
Remember to use, "Quotes."
Bat out of hell was originally a flop. It took years for Americans to like it
Marquee Moon by Television should be on this list
Every Neil Young album has treasures and innovations

I forget whose quote it was that "The Velvet Underground album only sold 5,000 copies, but everybody who bought one went and started a band!"
Perhaps Lester Bangs
A few youtube videos have suggested that Brian Eno was the quotes author.
@@GregoryShubertYes it was Brian Eno

I disagree. I liked the album Here, My Dear from the beginning. Great album.

Appreciate music certain songs aren't for everyone it's your own taste.

The Stones album, Their Satanic Majesties Request, actually has a small photo of John, Paul, George and Ringo on the front cover.
That was a response to the "Welcome The Rolling Stones" sweater, on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's.
@ExplodingPsyche I know...
The beasties "Paul's boutique."

I was thinking the same thing.

Their Satanic Majesties Request contained 4 pics of The Beatles on its cover

These were crap 50 years ago and they still are
Lou. Reed. Sucked.
I thought that was Candy who came from out on the island.
Definitely, but nice to have around.
The Stooges were losers.
Iggy stole from, 'TheChockletWatchBand'.
They were punks.
