Unpopular Music Opinions

Good on ya :thurab:

It's got probably my favourite Bowie cover art to it as well;

You forgot about Sometime In New York, which is a very underrated album. Lennon's output took a bit of a nose-dive for me after Imagine though - great singles (Mind Games, Stand By Me etc), boring albums.

Also, Ram, Band On the Run, Red Rose Speedway, Press To Play, Flaming Pie and Flowers In the Dirt are pretty awesome albums. Even the string of his last few albums are decent. Going by the quantity of post-Beatles albums of his I like, McCartney's an easy winner for me.


And even those were only bonus tracks with the CD reissue. I Live For You, Beware Of Darkness, What Is Life, Awaiting On You All, the title track, Isn't It a Pity - all terrific songs that make All Things Must Pass one of my favourites.
 
Added to that if you were to ask both Noel & Damon about it. Noel pretty much tells it as it is and looks back on it with a sense of humour & a regret that things got so out of hand.

Albarn refuses to talk about it. Why? because him & Steve Sutherland basically initiated the whole thing to sell copies of the NME. And of course there's also the small matter of Blur putting forward the release of their single by two weeks so it coincidently came out the exact same day the Oasis one did.

I actually prefer Blur musically but Damon Albarn from what I've seen and heard from other musicians is that the guy is a massive cunt.
 
oh yes, person pitch was amazing. my favorite song was good girl/carrots. ponytail is also a favorite
but i love the hip-hop direction he's going in
 
Hey, this slaughtering of sacred cows is more fun that I thought it'd be..



I'm with you on Bowie and Costello. I love a lot of Waits's music and I only really like Dylan when he made music with just his voice and an acoustic guitar.



He's one I have always felt I should appreciate - at least a couple of those old albums. Hasn't happened yet though



Agree that his voice is not briliant or groundbreaking (not sure I've ever heard that said about it, though, either) but still he has made some great music. The piano is just to accompany his mood - and I don't find his voice grating at all



Finally a positive Unpopular Opinion - and I share it kinda.
I think their first 2 albums are good and I saw them play when they toured for Pale in '90 or '91. I still have fond memories of that show. The singer is about 5' tall and he went barefoot on stage. The drummer is a bona fide midget (insert your own PC term here if there is one) who wore one shoe with about a 4" sole and one normal shoe. O yeah, they sounded really good live too
 
i'd take anything he said more seriously if his username wasn't an obvious reference to pushing the opinion that the only good music besides Dylan came out of the UK in the late 60s / early 70s (or sounded exactly like it did as in Oasis' case).
