Unpopular Music Opinions

Not really, but ok.


I don't get what the point is to ridicule people for their taste in music. Perhaps that's the whole basis of this forum and I joined without knowing, but taste is just that - taste. Neither yours or mine is any better from a universal perspective. There's no right or wrong when it comes to taste since it's all a matter of personal opinion.

If I say I don't like a certain band (or type of music), do people take that as a personal attack and an invite to start harping on people?


Exactly. Thanks. :)
 
You shouldn't comment on how anyone writes.

And Coheed is fantastic, I don't see whats not to get. In fact I really don't get what you mean by don't get on all those banRAB.
 
haha no. sorry, I posted that in the wrong thread, I meant to put it in the "albums you're digging" thread. I'm an idiot!

I've not heard those two albums, just the two I mentioned. I'll be checkin' them out :)
 
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! What albums have you heard? Even the debut was at least 7/10 and the songs that were good were absolutely fantastic. The ones that wern't, well, boring is the last thing you could call them at least. Seriously, did you just listen to Demon Days once when you were in a really bad mood?

And I can't believe Bewbz listens to Jethro Tull but called the Stooges dated.....ghey.

Sleep is probably my favourite track on Skinny Fists and since that is on the second disc I'm not sure I totally agree with you there.

Have you listened to Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada?
 
Audioslave have recently made some of the blandest rock I've ever heard. Apart from their S/T, which I believe was a very good album, their last two were dreary and dull with no inspiration whatsoever. There was no edge or anything, and the music was non existent, it was just a distant backdrop to Chris Cornells overpoweringly tedious vocals.
 
Yeah but thats ineptitude. I don't think its a lot to ask why you like something. Saying their better is not a valid position when one asks "why."



Yeah I think Seltzer and Boo Boo are talking about different things.

With regard to Seltzer, I got these he's taking aim at these "soulful" singers who are just well packaged mall-crowd sheen. Anytime a candidate on American Idol uses a melisma (sp?) or dips down to their gospel depths, I find it contrived. Its for people who havn't heard passionate music to say that its passionate.

With Boo boo, I don't think he likes the use at all. Springsteen looks like he's having a heartattack on stage everytime he plays, he works his craft over and over. I don't think its out of line to say he's got more passion than a Pete Yorn or something. And I cetainly think its a reason that he's better.

Passion tenRAB to lead to better overall products, just because I cite it in a song isn't wrong though. When the White Stripes opened for the Stones, Jack White said they were still arguing over how to play "Satisfaction." Their not just going through the motions as a lot of detracters would suggest looking at their ticket prices.
 
Agreed. Pitchfork sucks. By and large all album reviews suck, because well, the reviewer isn't you... I think people should just like what they like for whatever reasons they have, not because "pitchfork, etc... says its really good".
