They were sorta unique because, even if there wasn't a GLoVE's cover art, you'd knew it was a file of him. And, most of all, the replay value of his charts were off the fucking hook. Most of my favorites files are by him: Born, Endless Sacrifice, This Dying Soul, Taking Back My Soul.

Another step artists that makes me feel like this towards his files, after some time, are wc and Kommisar. wc had the almost perfect balance of technicality and fun, just like GLoVE: Crunk de Gaulle, Liquid Requiem, Shuriken Cut, even fucking A Quick Death. Kommisar threw the most files I played, ever: Bad Maniacs, Licky, Plasmatextor, Staring at my Spaceship, Jumper, Retard Drums v2.

All of these files are my answers for this question. And they all represent my opinion, given my arguments.


EDIT: I forgot to mention ==Planet Karma==. Despite Stargroup wasn't mentioned, this file is also as close to perfect as any can get.

The fact that so many simfile artists still name GLoVE "the greatest or most significant or most influential" simfile artist ever only tells you how far Stepmania simfiling still is from becoming a serious art. Metal simfile judges have long recognized that the greatest metal simfile artists of all times are GLoVE and dascookieman, who were not the most famous or popular of their times, let alone of all times. Classical simfile judges rank the highly controversial stargroup over classical simfile artists who were highly popular in forums around FlashFlashRevolution. Simfile judges are still blinded by universal acclaim: Kommisar simfiles were played more than anyone else's (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Metal simfile judges grow up playing metal simfiles, classical simfile judges grow up playing a lot of classical simfiles of the past, they barely know the most popular. No wonder they will think that GLoVE did anything worth of being saved.
