Polka Party is the most neglected album and considered to be the worst by many. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great, but it would indeed be shameful for Poodle Hat, which is even better, to be pushed under the rug like that.iisryan27 @ Mar 12 2004, 01:37 AM wrote:Why do you say that?

I hope Poodle Hat never gets that reputation, it's his best CD!
Maybe nobody bought it because everyone thought Al was dead

No. Polka Party has some great songs, but Poodle Hat is consistently excellent, and no album that wins a Grammy can be considered a "flop."yo @ Mar 12 2004, 01:30 AM wrote: Can anyone else here see Poodle Hat becoming the next Polka Party in Al's discography?
Look at it this way: Al managed to sell 336,000 albums with NO video, NO MTV exposure worth mentioning and not much from VH1 or any other TV (even his Grammy wasn't televised, dadburnit!
) and NO radio airplay, in an era of rampant downloading, burn-your-own copying and other forms of piracy and HOOLIGANISM and in the context of a music industry that is now fragmented into innumerable narrow niche interests. I'm convinced that Al doesn't have a sales problem because people don't like him anymore-- he has a sales problem because he has a massive publicity problem. Going on tour again is bound to help with the sales. But even if it doesn't help as much as we all hope it will, he'll still have a succès d’estime (which is not, let me hasten to say, the same as being a genius in France)
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.
