The most classic case is the Zwan album. Not a bad album mind you, but it could have been infinitely better. After following the band for a over a year previous to the album's release, I saw them play many different styles, including the acoustic-folk stuff performed under the "Djali Zwan" moniker. I understand Mary Star of the Sea was supposed to represent the electric, or "True Poets of Zwan" side of the band, but when you look at the number of amazing songs, i.e. For Your Love, Riverview, etc, that were passed up because they didn't fit the "sunny" mood Billy was going for, the album was kind of a dissapointment to me. Now, years later, I can appreciate the music for what it is: great guitar driven power-pop.

But it is too bad the Djali album/DVD never came to fruition.
