This is something I am seeing a lot here too.  What I would class as
"good" music is being put in these so-called "bargain buckets" as a
quick sale.  Bands like 'Love' are always in there.  It's even more a
shame in that although 'Forever Changes' as an album is rated very
highly, it's also degraded -- it now has a label of being "passed its
time", simply because it's so common to see it in these bargain buckets.

See above.  I found my copy of Mellow Candle's Swaddling Songs that way.
