A BASKET OF GLOWING DEAD FISH or LOVE IT, LOVE IT NOT

At a certain,  nearly foreseeable point in critical analysis,  one gets it:  some of the stuff that has been touted as "essential" is merely disposable,  over-hyped,  or worse.  One may even glimpse hints of genius in these objects of adoration,  but that soon fades as the recordings one has purchased in good faith (thanks WIRE) become mired in the verbiage of commerce,  advertising dollars,  and the good old boys club.  What follows is a list of performers whose work has been described as transcendent,  but is more often than not,  tedious.  Enjoy.
