Unpopular Music Opinions

When did I say lyrics had anything to do with it? I said THAT BANRAB LYRICS. I was talking about a specific band rehashing the same lyrics over and over. Learn to read. Don't even bring up jazz when you're talking about korn. It's an insult to music.
 
I respect The Edge, he's one of the few guitarists who really know what to do with a delay pedal, but Bono makes me wish i was deaf.
 
A completely groundless claim.



Otherway around buddy. Oomph! came first and pioneered that style of rock/metal. They don't even sound that similar anyway. Rammstein uses simple sythesizer beats to make a rave friendly techno dance song, whereas Oomph uses complex sythesizer noises going for an electronica, almost avant garde approach. Vocal are completely different too. Rammstein is basically singing opera and Oomph has several different vocal styles from traditional rock, metal growling, ect.
 
I don't care for the Beatles.

I think folk music is the most universal and constant genre on Earth, and that it led to all modern music and preceded all other forms of melodic instrument-backed music.

I am a singer and I do not like playing covers. That is my most "unpopular" musical opinion, as it keeps me from becoming "well-received" and therefore I'll probably never "make it big" or "be a star." I'll forever live in a van down by the river.
 
I'm burned out on Californication and I don't like Tell Me Baby but I still love Soul to Squeeze, all the BSSM singles, Scar Tissue and Can't Stop. And I also like Dani California despite the shameless plagiarization of one Tom Petty (and of all the people to steal from lol).

Hump de Bump really is a stupid song though. I think they should call it quits when they can't even do what they do best anymore.

Rather Ripped is SY's best album

Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" is 100 times better than Amnesiac and 10 times better than HTTT, 2 times better than In Rainbows

roughly
 
Do they, though (in re: the huge herd of sheep)? Cos everyone I meet seems to pretty much have that same opinion. It seems more that different groups of people like different music and tend to be sort of compartmentalized about it. It seems sort of presumptuous to say that a band doesn't deserve attention if a lot of people like them. Which is actually sort of a weird balance cos everyone seems to realize taste is based on opinion, but people still act like it isn't. I dunno, I'm musing off on a tangent here.

I don't suppose it really matters, though, because 1) as you say, that's just what happens--it's part of the nature of having a critical ethos, which most publications do--and 2) that's the exciting thing the internet has done for music; it's made everything so much more available to be listened to and hyped and everything. No matter WHAT you think deserves the hype, you can find some other people who agree with you, plus people hyping things you've never heard of--that's part of why places like this exist. Which brings me to:



Cos I totally agree with that. If someone is turned off by a bad review on Pitchfork... well, so what? It doesn't seem like that's the kind of person that's going to be a hardcore supportive fan anyway (if they'd have been a fan at all) and even if the music is great, it's their fault for missing out if they're not smart enough to learn how to read a publication with a grain of salt. But I still think there are less people like that than we tend to assume.

I suppose it comes down to the idea that I find complaining about music one doesn't like to be sort of silly when that's effort that could be put into finding something new that you do dig. I'm also one of those people that's upset by the fact that I'll never be able to hear everything out there, though. So I dunno...
