Your favourite tune? (from UNPOPULAR composers ONLY)
In the infamous "Your favourite tune?" topic, everyone most of the time state their favourite tunes from composers that have either made history (like Rob Hubbard, Jeroen Tel, Martin Galway etc) or extremely good composers of today's scene (like DRAX, Jeff, Linus etc).
However, what is your favourite tune from UNPOPULAR musicians? i.e. sceners who were not known well during any timeline of the c64 scene, no matter how skilled they were. You know the ones I am talking about... simply have a look at how big the MUSICIANS directory is in the HVSC collection. There must have been times when you took a peek at a sid directory belonging to someone you have never heard of, yet you thought "Hey, that's a great tune! Shame this musician was never known too well in the scene at the time."
I think this would help give credit to those who never got fame with their contributions to the scene. |

indeed. didn't mean to diss those i listed as 'unpopular'. i just never noticed even a smallest chunk of hype around those guys. if it wasn't for browsing the hvsc, i probably would've never heard of them (except Surgeon perhaps). which is sad. or maybe i wasn't paying enough attention. |

Unpopular seems the wrong word to use.
Your favourite tune by a composer other than 'the usual top raked places' is nearer the mark.
I've always really liked Double Dutch/JVD |

To me "unpopular" has two meanings: 1) not well-known, 2) someone or something being dislikable... So maybe one could say: "from less known composers only"

Touldie, Jane, Extern, Cubehead.
There is so much sid music to explore.
And I am much more open minded than I was back in the day. |
