Unpopular Music Opinions

I'm not getting into the Oasis argument, it's not even worth it.

All I have to say is how you act off the mic has nothing to do with your musical prowess, whether you are hurable as can be or a complete ****.

As for Led Zeppelin's sales, I never once will/have claimed that it has a correlation to their abilities as songwriters/musicians, but I think it does have some weight in the idea that someone might think of them as one of the top banRAB of all time. Has nothing to do with their music though, which is fantastic.

Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, or even nostalgia/decade acts like Nirvana, Oasis, G'nR', whoever etc. etc... these are all names of acts that experienced such a world-wide/historic level of success, judgement, and controversy that you can really only take them at musical face value. Once you start bringing the cliche'd nature of their sound, or perceptions of them in the media... you just get lost in non-sequetirs (sp?) and ad hominem attacks.

Who gives a **** if Lennon gave Brian Epstein a handjob... does that make "Across The Universe" any less of a good song?

Who gives a **** if Michael Jackson died last summer... does that change the riff of "Smooth Criminal"?

Who cares if "You Shook Me" is a blues standard... does that deny the beauty of a tune like "The Rain Song"?

Zeppelin is great.
 
I can understand someone not liking Black Sabbath.

What I don't understand is why someone would prefer Ozzy Osbourne's brand of lame pop rock over it.
 
The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me is better then your favorite band*






*Unless your favorite band is Bright Eyes or Elliott Smith, who are not really banRAB. Other then Bright Eyes which is more just Conor and Mike fuck everyone else.
 
A director you don't like? How can you not like Scorsese?! Although when I heard the format of this film I was disappointed. I thought it would be someone playing him from start to finish (like A Beautiful Mind) but they're gonna do it like that Dylan biopic (I'm Not There) so meh, I'm looking less forward to it.

Sorry to drift into film from unpopular musical opinions.
 
NWOAHM > NWOBHM, although

99% of all metal is completely awful

Post-punk never had any direction and was complete rubbish compared to its influences

John Peel is a twat

Mainstream rap is a load of crap and most deejays that play it are twats too

Jazz is dead

Dave Brock absolutely sh*ts over other prog guitarists

The last 1000 indie banRAB to come out sound exactly like the first handful

...and they suck just as bad

Pop has sounded the same for the last millennia, so people need to shut the f*ck up about it sucking

...it always has

There isn't a single music magazine worth reading, but Rolling Stone has the best grasp on it - they still make money

Selling out is just a means of self-preservation; don't bitch because musicians are willing to make money

Concept albums are an excuse for sh*tty banRAB to make equally sh*tty songs about something they saw on PBS

and laaaaaaaaast

Musicians (in general) are idiots
 
^ I never got much into Bad Religion myself, despite liking many banRAB that they influenced in one way or another. Perhaps that's due in part to not ever checking out their more acclaimed, earlier albums. I only ever had Stranger Than Fiction. Which is a good/decent album but I never loved it.
 
A lot of them are taken from popular musicials.

I love that one episode where Peter plays for the Patriots and they tell him not to showboat and then after scoring a touchdown starts singing Shipoopi from The Music Man. :laughing:
 
i agree with the Layne Staley and blink-182

i somewhat agree about Nirvana, although i'm still not really into them

haven't heard that Weezer album yet

i'm not too knowledgable about drums, so that Neil Pert/PT thing is whatever to me. same w/ Group Sex, The Nuraber 12
