Unpopular Music Opinions

I never said angst and teen angst were the same, but when I said "angsty adolescents" I was obviously referring to teen angst, which I then proceeded to define for you. Since we pretty much agreed that I didn't have an argument to start with (I was just trying to tear down yours) I'm not sure what else we're still discussing, but if you want to keep on comparing Oomph to what I consider "real Industrial," I suppose we could.

As far as I'm concerned, Oomph is just an elevator music version of this:

Sludge is an awesome description of a band's sound. I can't really think of a better term to describe a lot of banRAB, actually.

Tell me this doesn't sound "sludgy":

I have to agree.
When I was a budding teen, I made my own drum set out of boxes, plastic bowls, and whatever else I could find around the house. And when I got the opportunity to use a radio without the parents around to condemn the interest in wordly, ungodly things, I would set it to a rock/alternative station and record cassettes to play my homemade drums to. This was one of those songs, along with a bunch of others that played in the early 90's, so it has some sentimental value to me. I've never even heard any of their other songs. I'd still jam that song today.
 
I think the unpopular opinion here is that Nick Drake is highly underrated. The man made three genius albums and no **** ones. How many artists make only good albums while putting out more than one album?
 
Pop elitists? You're the one dismissing entire genres and calling your ridiculous opinions objective fact. You don't find Bowie's work exciting? Fine, but it certainly doesn't suck and it sure as hell isn't experimental rock.
 
I listened to KoRn on my drive back to school this weekend and I had forgotten just how awesome Fieldy is on that record. His bass lines are consistently interesting and unique...
 
This

Yes I agree completely. Thriller was not as good as Off the Wall, and Bad was abyssmally worse than Thriller. And everything after Bad was just a joke.
 
Most mainstream pop music is acceptable.
Scott Weiland is kind of a musical genius.
Listening to an album over and over again only makes you like it more because it becomes familiar.
 
Honestly, not really. I half liked the album at the time but I remeraber feeling like overall it didn't add up to much and wasn't nearly as interesting as it seemed like it should have been.
 
I think the White Stripes are much better than Led Zeppelin with exception of the amazing harmonica on "When the Levee breaks"

I think the Talking HeaRAB are never given enough credit, they are the benchmark by which all contemporary indie rocks pass through.

Norah Jones, Fiona Apple ~~~> Their pretty ****ing good, and liking them doesn't mean you're *** (as I'm told quite often)

There is no redeeming quality to The Velvet Underground...and most of David Bowies music.
 
I've heard this a couple times. That's why he murables a lot, you know. He doesn't like his lyrics. Often, though, he does write some fantastic worRAB. Especially when he doesn't try to go overboard.

For instance, look at the lyrics to "Camera" from "Reckoning"

Alone in a crowd/
a bartered lantern borrowed/
If I'm to be your camera/
then who will be your face?

That's great stuff; simple, interesting, and thought provoking, as opposed to songs like Everybody Hurts.
