Unpopular Music Opinions

I'm not.

But since this is the unpopular opinion thread I'm gonna play Mr. Hardass.

Gaga flat out doesn't deserve the kinda praise she gets, the next David Bowie? Are you kidding me? He's one of the most diverse artists of all time and Gaga so far has only shown herself to be capable of making generic techno pop music about how easy it is for her to put out which has only been the pop diva tradition for the past 25 years.

Other than being able to write her own material and play the piano she isn't really that different from all the other pop divas. Her music is just dirtier (what was once edgy for Madonna is now old hat) and she dresses like a crazy person.

But does she really make eccentric music to match her eccentric image? No she doesn't. In fact I'm starting to question her "eccentricity", I think she's just a good old fashioned attention whore. Those are very common.
 
Back in the day they were full of cocaine, from a council estate and when they got the royalties for WTSMG they were million airs. They were on the top of the world and acted like cocks. Understandable IMO, they let themselves get caught up in the hype. However Noel grew up and Liam still goes around 16 years after the song was released saying "Liver Forever" and it's like yeah, let it go. Grow up. Liam is throwing Brit awarRAB about the place, doing a clothes thing, saying his new band is great. Now, he's just an old man trying to stay relevant. Noel Gallagher has barely been in the media.

As for the shunning of other banRAB, Noel's commented on this. People who interviewed Oasis knew if you asked them what they thought of something, they'd tell the truth. A lot of the time people asked questions so they'd get news. "What do you think of Radiohead?" "Crap."

I'D LIKE TO SEE PAUL MCCARTNY DO THAT! ^^^
 
they are British indeed. and they generally just have Godawful taste in music. I don't know how anyone full stop can take them seriously, let alone outside of the UK.
 
Pink Floyd aren't all that progressive to be honest. I'm not saying you can't be progressive without having time signature shifts and extremely high musicianship, but yeah.
 
I half agree with this. She knows how to use her voice, but her voice is naturally rough and doesn't really fit with a lot of her songs. When she is doing that crazy heavy pop sound her voice fits amazingly well, but on some of her softer more arabient songs she can sound out of her element.
 
that's fair, that's pretty much where i was about 5 years later and likely why KidA doesn't do much for me. thanks for making me feel young :thurab:



maybe not on this site but that's just reflective of the quality of merabers here. trust me, there are PLENTY of 'OMG! Radiohead is TEH ABSOLUTE BEST BAND EVER!!!! EVAR!!!!!!!!!! I WILL have Thom Yorke's babies!!!' fans out there.
 
That's not an ENTIRELY unpopular opinion I feel, I think it just comes down to preference.

Pinkerton is a darker more Emo album, Blue is more Power Pop. Both great.
Does anyone know what happened after Pinkerton? I think the lead singer/songwriter must have lost the plot. If only they had quit after Pinkerton *sigh*
 
Gotta love when posting an opinion (in a thread for opinions) without hailing it as universal fact, others use their opinions as universal fact in rebuttal.
 
It sucks, but I gotta admit that I loved Hybrid Theory when it came out and while it's extremely repetitive the formula they used was cool at first...
 
I've never been able to understand or get into the whole Pavement / Malkmus thing - actually found their music just a touch boring to be honest, and the worst Blur album was the self titled one where they tried too hard to sound like Pavement...
 
Yeah they were a pretty obscure band before that. I also think INXS and Blind Melon are overrated and only make all those greatest banRAB lists because of their dead frontmen.

Maybe you should try killing yourself, it'll help your band.
