unpopular musical opinions!

[Jowy]

I stole this thread idea from Laddy's similar one in the gaming forum.

"The Final Cut" is the best Pink Floyd album. Roger Waters is a very angry man and just lets it all out this time around.

There isn't a single Smashing Pumpkins album where you don't skip at least one track. Siamese Dream is the best but come on now.

The cover of "Sympathy for the Devil" by Guns and Roses is exponentially better than that of the Rolling Stones.

[Criminally Vulgar]

John Lennon was a total wanker.

The old stuff remains the best, but The Smashing Pumpkins are releasing some really good stuff right now and the band is the tightest it's ever been.

Muse are massively overrated.

Morrissey and Marr were collective geniuses, but it was Morrissey who really made The Smiths what they were.

Sneaker Pimps were better post-Ali.

Hole were better than Nirvana.

[Shorty]

Bauhaus' version of Ziggy Stardust is better than Bowie's.
Aim and Ignite is 1000x better than Some Nights.
Our Love to Admire is the best Interpol album.
The Killers are severely underrated and need more credit.

[Laddy]

Hole were better than Nirvana.
You should write comedy.

Lady Gaga is underrated as a musician by her detractors, overrated as a role model by her fans.

George Harrison is my favorite Beatle.

Jeff Buckley was the best artist out of the 90's. THE BEST.

[Bunny]

Hole were better than Nirvana.
You should right comedy.

The Beatles were mediocre, Nirvana sucked, Pink Floyd is overrated, and Billy Corgan is a horrible singer.

OK Computer and Kid A are not Radiohead's best albums - The Bends is.

Dubstep, and the entire genre of electronic dance music and all related sub-genres, is not music.

Milli Vanilli were robbed.

[I Don't Need A Name]

"The Final Cut" is the best Pink Floyd album. Roger Waters is a very angry man and just lets it all out this time around.

I actually really like The Final Cut..



Aim and Ignite is 1000x better than Some Nights.

Anyone who had heart of fun. before We Are Young know this as fact anyway :jess:

[Shattered Dreamer]

Rock musicians placement of The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd etc on pedestals is the reason why Rock music has failed to evolve since the mid 90's.

Lady Gaga is the best singer songwriter of our generation

Adele is criminally overrated.

You are an idiot if you're willing to pay more than $100 for a standard ticket to any gig.

Nickelback are one of the best rock bands of the past 15 years.

U2's Joshua Tree album is god awful & I wonder how many people have actually listened to it start to finish.

[Shorty]

Nickelback?

[Laddy]

:stare:

[I Don't Need A Name]

U2's Joshua Tree album is are god awful & I wonder how many people have actually listened to it them start to finish.

[Jinx]

Seconding Adele being over-rated. Her music is beautiful as is her voice, really. But she isn't god. Her new song isn't very good, and even some of her stuff on 21 isn't that good.

Radios need to play what's good as opposed to what's just popular. (This is more of a generalization, really.)

50s/60s musics are the best musics.

Neon Bible is a terrible album, and The Suburbs was way better.

Coldplay is excellent, but over-rated.

Florence + the Machine is one of the greatest songwriters of our time.

Bjork's music really isn't that weird, and if you can't handle it, you seriously need to expand your music tastes.

[Pike]

Oldschool U2 is great and you all can bite me.

Chiptune is a glorious genre.

New wave is a glorious genre.

The 80s was the best decade for music.

Gangnam Style is the best song this year.

[maybee]

The 80s was the best decade for music.



This

I love the 80's !

[Shorty]

Neon Bible is terrible and Nickelback is the greatest rock band of the past fifteen years? What the smurf is going on in this thread.

Strawberry Jam is the best Animal Collective album.
Pop Goes The World is Men Without Hats' best song.

[LunarWeaver]

Total Eclipse of the Heart is the best music video ever made. I wouldn't want to meet the me that was me before I witnessed it.

[Citizen Bleys]

The only good music written in the 80s was performed by Ozzy

The 90s was filled with good music. (Yeah, there was a lot of dreck, but there was also Brother Cane, Alice In Chains, Collective Soul, The Goo Goo Dolls, STP, etc.)

[Pheesh]

The 80s was the best decade for music.


This

You're both certifiable.

The Beatles are boring, so are the Rolling Stones.

John Bonham was influential, but comparatively not that great a drummer.

[Pike]

I thought of another one.

Purely electronic music has more soul in it than any other kind of music.

[Jinx]

Neon Bible is terrible and Nickelback is the greatest rock band of the past fifteen years? What the smurf is going on in this thread.

Strawberry Jam is the best Animal Collective album.



It really is. I can't stand Neon Bible.

Also, of course Strawberry Jam is Animal Collective's best album, why is this even an unpopular opinion, Shera?

[Fynn]

I love contemporary artistic music, with Penderecki and Igor Stravinski being some of my favorite composers.

Basically what people normally call "classical" music (classical actually only refers to the classical period, but whatever) is the only thing I listen to besides VGM.

I also think Lady Gaga has some obscure hidden goal behind her activity as a musician.

Very unpatriotically, I do not love Chopin. I do not hate him, 'casue I can tell he was a genius, but I just don't think the hype is deserved.

C'mon, man. It's Nickelback.

edit: Also a lot of these are claims that something is a fact, usually completely ignoring context. Opinions are whatever but some of these are just ridiculous. But then again that's what I get for expecting a serious discussion about art on the web. Also, ignoring what I just said about broad generalizations, everything about Nickelback ever is bad and awful.

[NeoCracker]

I'll give you this Shorty, 'Hott Fuss' from the killers was an awesome Album. Past that? They just stopped trying really.

And I counter Bleys with this, Motorhead was around in the 80's too. As was Dio :p

1) Asside, from Paint it Black and Symphony for the Devil, I don't really like Rolling Stones.
2) Not sure if this is unpopular or not, but Ozzy Solo is better then Sabbath.
3) I really don't like Animal Collective.

Animal Collective people: point me to a song by them that doesn't just sound like noises thrown together. I really like My Girls and was obsessed with it for a time, and made a Pandora station for them that I freaking love, except I have to downvote every actual AC song that comes on it because it's just... sounds. Not really music. I like the idea of AC, and I like a lot of bands that are considered musically similar, but I have not heard a single track other than My Girls that I have enjoyed in the least.

The Beatles were pretty average.
Coldplay is one of the worst bands to ever exist.
Oasis, Blur, Radiohead and any similar 90s British band should all be executed. The entire decade was a wasteland of pure sewage.
Nobody is, has ever been, or will ever be as good as Daniel O'Donnell.
The Lambeg Drum is a beautiful instrument.

I mostly agree on beetles, outside of a couple above average songs, and I find most of their music pleasant.

Yes to cold play and the other bands listed, no to the entire decade being sewage.

I don't know, I just I don't like threads that are deliberately designed to push buttons. Like, I hate it when I am out with a group of friends and it seems all people want to do is **** with each other. It's fun in short spurts, but it gets old to me real quick.

There is nothing wrong with using autotune. Even when it's used to change a mediocre singer to sound on tune. Like any instrument it can be used badly, but most of the time when people complain about the use of autotune it's just elitism. I find the true power of a song is mostly in the composition, not the performance. There are thousands of people who can perform a song, but only one who can compose it, and when a brilliant composer is a mediocre performer and cant find a good performer, autotune can be a very useful tool

[Big D]

I'm indiffferent to Rebecca Black's Friday.
It holds no musical interest for me, and the moral of the song is somewhere between 'harmlessly neutral' and 'actually kinda admirable'. I mean, it's just some kid singing about how the weekend is good because she gets to hang out with her friends - hardly apocalyptic stuff.

After thinking about it for a couple of hours, yeah, I guess I shouldn't have even joked around about it. This place, as well as others, have argued about much sillier things.

I guess I'll stop being a curmudgeon and join in on the fun!

*I actually prefer newer Nine Inch Nails material to Pretty Hate Machine. Don't get me wrong, my favorite NIN stuff is from the 90's, and PHM is still has CLASSIC songs on it, but there are also songs that seriously didn't age well and drag down the album today. Especially "That's What I Get." Ugh.

*I know no one gives a **** about Marilyn Manson anymore, but I am still a fan. In fact, the latest record (Born Villain) was a great return to form...for the most part. Anyway, former fans/people in general usually complain that Manson's sound and lyrics have suffered in quality over the years. I agree to that to an extent, but if you examine the newer records more closely, one can actually argue that not enough has changed with the band. I believe that people don't realize that they simply got used to the way the band does things, concerning former fans. That and Manson wrote himself into a corner for relying on a shocking image too much, thus running the band into the ground. As a result, I feel many people have missed out on great Manson material, if you are into such a sound.

*I liked 10,000 Days better than Ænima.

*In terms of almost any band in almost any metal genre, I actually like it when bands get more melodic and write more complex music. Want to know why that is? Because in most cases the band is getting better. Sorry, not every metal band sounds better if they sound like it was recorded from an 80's boom box inside a garbage can.

*I rarely, RARELY believe anyone that says they liked a band's first album the best. In most cases they are trying to be HIPSTER GARBAGE!!!

*I don't really care for My Chemical Romance, but I like their first album. You could say I like their first album the best!

It's been awhile since I listened to either record (I do remember liking "Ghost of You" of off their second album a lot). As I said, though, I am not a fan. It's funny that I just slammed metal fans for not liking rawer sounding stuff, but I guess I just felt that the rougher sound of the first album worked better for MCR's style.

I think melodic metal takes a band from being only likeable by metalheads to being likeable by anyone.

First albums almost universally do suck.

Did you ever listen to Danger Days? I listened to Three Cheers in high school and didn't like it much, and then I saw the video for "Na Na Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na)" and loved it. The album is actually a concept piece in a Mad Max-ish post-apocalyptic world to make some social commentary. It's pretty great.

I have never claimed to be otherwise. But the Beatles are pretty terrible.

Like I said. Bad people. If you can't listen to "Let It Be", "Eleanor Rigby", "All You Need is Love", "Yellow Submarine", or "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and get some sort of sanctification out of one of them, you are a husk of a person in my book.

[The Man]

"Yellow Submarine" is pretty bad, actually, but anyone who can't listen to the other songs you mentioned, "I Am the Walrus", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "You Never Give Me Your Money", etc., and derive some form of enjoyment from it probably has something wrong with their ears.

[Goldenboko]

I purposely picked it because it was other end of the spectrum. Saying, "The Beatles are bad" is a pretty large statement considering the overall quality and volume of work. Maybe you don't enjoy sad songs, maybe you don't enjoy happy ones, maybe you don't enjoy acid trips. But if you can't find a single thing by them you like, you don't really like anything. I also happen to love acid trips. :monster:

As for those who need to argue music complexity and repetition, , they have everything from the entirely simple "Come Together" (bum bum buuuuum, bum. bum bum buuuuum, bum.) to the almost confusing changes in "A Day in the Life". I fucking love The Beatles :colbert:

[The Man]

I can't believe I didn't list "A Day in the Life" in my songs list :doublecolbert:

[Jowy]

Pinkerton is Weezer's best album.

some people like the blue album more!

[Shorty]

I am one of those people.

[Jowy]

El Scorcho is better than the entire Blue Album.

[Shorty]

oh I fucking lied, green album is my favorite

you are correct, sir

[NorthernChaosGod]

Hole were better than Nirvana.
You should right comedy.

The Beatles were mediocre, Nirvana sucked, Pink Floyd is overrated, and Billy Corgan is a horrible singer.

With you here. The Beatles are fucking booooooring.

[Jowy]

lana del rey's "born to die" should be 2012's album of the year.

[krissy]

i really liked 'video games'

As expected I see some Beatles heresy. Jesus will teach you the errors of your ways in the afterlife don't worry.

Anyway, my turn.

1. I don't care if she sucks in every other song she's ever sung, I think Celine Dion sounds good in "My Heart Will Go On".

2. I like most of the songs from Weber's Phantom of the Opera. Hating on him is a very common thing from what I've seen.

3. 80s hair metal is awesome.

[Slothy]

As expected I see some Beatles heresy. Jesus will teach you the errors of your ways in the afterlife don't worry.

There's not much that I believe in in this world, but there are two things I'm quite certain of:

1. The Beatles suck.

2. If there is a Jesus, I would put money on him not being the guy I see after I die. Luckily, I already enjoy the Devil's music.

Punk's not dead!

Well you're probably right. You'll see John Lennon when you die and he'll smack you for being so wrong.

[Pete for President]

I have a hard time controlling my temper while reading this thread.

[Immortal Rain]

lana del rey's "born to die" should be 2012's album of the year.
I second this. Also her Paradise EP was phenomenal.

[Denmark]

oh I fucking lied, green album is my favorite

you are correct, sir

huh what what ahwahthathwhahwthahtwa

blue > green imo but i'm no weezer whiz guy

i don't have unpopular opinions because i'm a

oh maybe i guess i thought "Pretty. Odd" was better than "whatever the hell '''panic at the disco before they dropped the exclamation point''''s first album was called"

yeah i triple quoted instead of single quoting inside of the regular double quotes and there is an apostroff for possession in there you have problem

this is the bst post i've ever made

[Jowy]

rob go to bed you can't spell "conflicted" correctly!

[Shorty]

Green Album has more songs that I like on it!

man, I do not favor Pretty.Odd at alllll. best song on that album is Nine in the Afternoon and it got annoying as shit!

[Jowy]

green album has island in the sun and o girlfriend.

blue album has my name is jonas, undone, buddy holly, say it ain't so, in the garage, only in dreams, suzanne, and mykel and carli

one is better than the other.

[Denmark]

blue album has say it ain't so and sweater song full stop full stop (aka period aka end of motherfuckin sentence)

green album has hash pipe?

yeah my p(optional!)atd opinoin was the controversial one

also eric i couldn't spell "best" correctly but you chose "conflicted" which isn't even in that post :<3:

[Jowy]

you repped me the following:

i want to say stop having my opinions but they're such good opinions so i'm fonclicted

[Denmark]

as if that wasn't intentional

(i may not have the best memory but i can sure as hell spell if i put the effort toward it)

(while alcohol)

(booze)

[Jowy]

i got a laugh out of it regardless of whether or not it was intentional!

[Breine]

Coldplay is a horrible band. So is Muse. And Elvis is ridiculously overrated.

And while Nirvana might have been a decent band, they're also overrated.

[Forsaken Lover]

I have a lot of guilty pleasures in terms of modern pop but after listening to two of her albums, I find myself legitimately liking Katy Perry. I think songs like "E.T. and "Teenage Dream" are quite good.

Screw you guys, I'm gonna go join the unwashed masses. They're at least happy. Happy and stupid is the way to be.

[Shoden]

I don't like Thrash or Death Metal. Hell I cannot stand most of the new stuff at all, this Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Mathcore hoo dah. That stuff is absolutely massive up here and I'm sitting here following European Power Metal bands as well as 80s heavy metal/rock giants that still play the odd show and release the odd album.

I enjoy Dragonforce, I enjoy Venom, I enjoy Manowar. Bands who were ridiculed for many reasons, I just look to these angry roid rage bands trying to be people by adding obscure time changes and scales to be "unique" when the fact is they're supposed to be part of a form of music that's built on on riffs .

Death metal should have lyrics like Meatloaf's and not lyrics about bad, gruesome, gory, naughty things. No cheese? NO FUN! NO FUN!

[maybee]

American Idol should stop. It's gone long passed stupid.

And it can't be unpopular because they keep on making fucking new seasons !
