Unpopular Music Opinions

Doesn't mean you're right. It just means you have no real argument and you're in denial. I think we all know who the REAL winner is.



Again with the no real argument, instead immature whining non-sense.
 
To say Pitchfork hype killed good banRAB... I dunno. It implies that the quality of the music changes based on who likes it. I have a problem with that. Either they're good banRAB/songs or they're not.

I suppose perception of something can change based on who's talking about it, what they're saying, how much it's around, whatever. But that's perception--it's something after-the-fact and which every listener has their own control over. Blaming a 'zine or scene or whatever for that is just sort of... lazy, not to mention it opens the door for "social currency" and "myth of cool" arguments.

I dunno. My unpopular opinion, I guess, is that Pitchfork is fine. They're a magazine tailored to a specific clientele and serve the neeRAB of that clientele very well.
 
Nah. The Wall rules, I don't care what anybody says, and Atom Heart Mother is a lot like Tarkus in that side B really pales in comparison to the epic title track that takes up the entire first side.
 
Jeff Lynne said his mission statement for Electric Light Orchestra was to re-write "I Am The Walrus" as many times as possible, add to that the most grating voice ever and production skills that turn everything he touches to sound weak and tinny and there you have the worst ever.
 
My browser's being a pain in the arse and won't let me access that link there, but that's not the version with no fiddle in it is it? If so, it's pretty good stuff. I do like the fiddle on the album version though, which thinking about it is probably what gets on so many fans' nerves. I can see how it might have that nails on a chalkboard effect to some though.
 
The Pumpkins double is a favourite on here for a nuraber of people including myself.

I think Megadeth`s "The System Has Failed" was a major return to form since "Countdown to Extinction" even though I think "Youthanasia" was a decent album.

Vitalogy good album, pity that its full of filler though.
 
Trust me all your Canadian post-rock banRAB get a pretty good representation in the International market. GY!BE's 2000 release was listed on every "Best of 00" list I found on the Internet, and a lot of people know are at least familiar with the album or band. Canada's metal scene is terribly misrepresented in the International market besides a few acts, and the same goes for the punk scene.

Montreal might be more famously known for it's indie scene, but there is an equal, if not larger metal scene there that gets no representation unless you're a metalhead.
