EYDIAB is Creep.
Roygbiv is Paranoid Android. (It's the fan favourite that is actually very very good)
Jacquard Causeway or Gyroscope for some of the TKOL tracks maybe? (Very good but too inaccessible for some fans)

I have no idea how Jacquard Causeway or Gyroscope could be inaccessible. They're both very straightforward tracks.

I see your point with JC, but honestly it did take me a while to get into Gyroscope compared to the rest of Geogaddi. It's a bit more avant-garde compared to the rest of the LP in my eyes, abrasive beats and all. I only bring them up because those two are the ones I normally see people "that's a bit weird" at.

Don't see how either track could be inaccessible either. I suppose I could say that about JC solely from the perspective of it boring the hell out of me and weighing the album down (just my opinion!) but Gyroscope is an excellent track and a great introduction to shift in style Geogaddi took.

I don't really see how either track is related or similar in any way either.

I would think Basefree, Chinook and Sixtyten to apparently be inaccessible to much of the fan base if anything due to the common opinion about these sort of tracks I see nowadays, even though they aren't at all and I'm honestly not sure BoC has ever made anything I would truly consider inaccessible, save for possibly trying to listen to Magic Window with legitimate enthusiasm.

One of the best measures we have to whether or not a BoC track is 'inaccessible' is the knockout poll results. Considering both Jacquard Causeway and Gyroscope were voted out in the first round in their respective albums' polls, I think it's pretty safe to say they're both among the more 'inaccessible' BoC tracks.

Also, my opinion on the two is pretty much the exact opposite of yours :D . I think Jacquard Causeway is brilliant, whereas Gyroscope is one of my least favorite BoC tracks.

Cool. I have a banana for you.

(ps - JC is an anagram that people have yet to solve, there's anagrams all over that album) :wink:
