xxpost that's why i said filler isn't *necessarily* bad but i don't think it can ever be good. and yeah in my working def. of the word filler as pertains to the album format might as well be a different word than 'meatloaf' filler, which is integral to meatloaf in a way that filler is not considered integral to an album.
I might be totally totally wrong too, it's just how i've used it and how I thought I'd seen it used since forever. At any rate stuffing like 90% of what constitutes the average modern album into the filler category isn't any more workable, surely.
gosh for someone who never even uses the word i sound like i care haha.

Non-album b-sides are/were my very favourite filler.

I liked Madonna filler, especially on earlier albums like True Blue. 'Jimmy Jimmy' and 'Love Makes the World Go Round' etc.
