Unpopular Music Opinions

Biggest band in England from 94 to 97 has the right to slag anyone they want off. Better than being sly little fuckers, just come out and say what's on your mind.



I just don't think there's a need for it, drum solos are just shit. Even some of the best drummers didn't feel the need to do them. You can be a good drummer without going overboard, same applies to people like Hendrix.. but apparently you can't say bad things about Hendrix because he's a God. And they have a point. I just have an issue with drum solos, I really don't like listening to them.
 
I listened to the entire thing and now I have no will to live. Thanks.
Who cowrote it?



I don't get Joy Division either, and I listen to noiserock and industrial.



I guess but I'm impressed with the voice of Celine Dion too.
 
Its my personal opinion of what makes good music.

You assume that just because I like ELP I'm some kind of old muso, who rates all music quality based on chops and listens to Mike Oldfield recorRAB all day. You couldn't be more wrong. In fact I know for a fact that we like a lot of the same music. We just enjoy it for different reasons.



I don't even get what your point is. I already said performance is a part of it, hence "musicianship".



Oh boy, here we go again.



And I ask you. How do you spot emotion? You can't, you cant read a musicians mind, you have no idea how much emotion was invested in a song when it was written, no idea at all. Its all assumption. You have your own made up critera for passion, so to speak.



Oh give me a freaking break. :laughing:



And how can you tell who is just going through the motions? You can't. What makes passion? What? The lyrical content? The kinda techniques that are used? THE FREAKING GENRE OF MUSIC?

Its all in your mind, you can put passion into your performances sure, but passion can't channel itself "through" the music or whatever you want to call it, music is just a sequence of sounRAB for goodness sake. Stop trying to make everything so dramatic.



Why not? Why can't people enjoy music for different reasons?

And for the last time I'm not a muso. When I listen to music I'm not thinking about what time signature it's in or what scale is being used for that guitar solo, I enjoy the damn music.



I think I know enough about how music is marketed.

"Passion" has been a successful marketing tool since the birth of rock n roll.
 
have you been completely ignorant of my posts? I'm a Post-Rock fan, so I can't be an electronica elitist. usually elitists ignore everything outside of their genre and say everything else is talentless or whatever. And plus I only listen to, like, two electronic genres. IDM and Arabient.
 
Not well, my friend, not well! :laughing:

I wouldn't say that's an unpopular opinion as far as the masses are concerned, clearly both have a ton of fans. But it's likely an unpopular opinion amongst this small sampling of people.
 
Also, most of the banRAB that the emo elitists reject as being emo (Fall Out Boy, MCR, etc) are better than most of the so called “real” emo banRAB.

And I'm not sure if I said this before, but Panic at the Disco's cover of 'Karma Police' is waaaaay better than the original imo.
 
I give up.



Yeah hyperbole.

I meant that The Stooges are revolutionaries because in 1969 nobody sounded as raw and intense as them.

But this isn't 1969 anymore and by todays standarRAB I don't think they're that interesting except for one great album and historical significance.
 
I hate about 60-70% of the Beatles music.

I didn't like 10,000 Days

I think Nirvana gets a lot more credit than they deserve ( I don't want to argue about it though, I tried once and it was unbelievably frustrating)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a monotonous piece of crap. It's a band for people who want desperately to like post-rock, but just don't know what it is, so they listen to this imitation post-rock band.


to reply to the usedtoolguy:
Mr. Bungle is better than FaithNo More

Slipknot is the biggest joke of a band, the kiRAB who go around wearing slipknot shirts acting all hardcore and elite bug the mess out of me

I don't care if Frank Zappa is overrated as a person/name (fewer people than you think can hold a conversation about his music) he's a great musician, who I don't find difficult to listen to.

I don'y care about Alanis one way or the other.
