some album cuts are so strong that you can't "really" call them "filler" (I probably shouldn't have chosen "fingertips" by Poe as "filler"), yet obviously it is fun to us to try to "split hairs" on whether some tracks were just an artist "messing around" and coming up with something "better than 'decent'" or the artist really put some "effort" into the track and therefore...it really ain't "filler."
Plus the post is complicated from the start by requesting the "best" "filler" cuts, so some of us (like I did a couple of times) are going to pick songs that "cross the line" from the "best filler" cuts to "strong" album cuts.
It is fun because some say creativity really "works" when the artist really isn't "trying" ("forcing"/"straining" - like artists are known to do so often) so this post let's us "explore" when we perceive artists not "forcing" and coming up with something good.
See: "time's a wastin'", "spaced cowboy", etc.
