I forgot to add to the topic. If I had to pick something, I'd probably go with Martius/Nauticus II by Pain of Salvation. The entire BE album is a candidate though.
Honorable mentions go to
Hun Jord...- Sigur Ros
All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix
"3" and "Deadwing" - Porcupine Tree
Hallowed be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
Existance - Front Line Assembly
Many songs from Kow Otani
Many songs from Pain of Salvation

Well known to people who know music, yes.She's not somebody you'd stroll out onto the street and hear being mentioned. Not here anyway.

Originally posted by Alpha CentauriDoes she have a cult following. I find that hard to believe in pop music. Though, it is plausible that she would outside of Japan, I still find it hard to believe. She hit the Billboard Hot 100 which usually means you aren't a cult attractor if all you are making is pop.
Cult bands have that kind of sale though, hardly well known.-AC
Originally posted by StyleTimeJust so we're clear, that's just your personal opinion and not one that's widely accepted if at all.
She's not even obscure. Hikaru is like a Japanese answer to Britney Spears only a little better. That's not saying much obviously as both Spears and Hikaru are terrible.I think you're spot on with the "because they're Japanese" part.
One could actually say that you're factually wrong, but I won't, b/c it would only fuel the fire of your obliviousness.

No, no you can't. Popularity doesn't mean she's good. It means she sells records.
Actually I could. It's fact that she's on a whole different level than Britany Spears.
They're nothing alike and to compare the 2 is idiotic.
Did I say anything about Popularity? I don't think that I did. This goes way beyond popularity. That's not even what's being discussed.

If you think she's on a whole different level of quality, you couldn't say anything for a fact, because that's subjective perception.
Sorry to inform you of that.

I disagree but you apparently can prove otherwise. If you prove me wrong, I have no choice but to agree with you.
Insinuation my friend, insinuation. However, I'll drop it. I apologize.
Now on to these facts....
