Achtung! Post unpopular music opinions that you have

[Bones McHorror]

Nickelback >> Pearl Jam

Not mathematically possible unless Pearl Jam has a negative number of good songs.

The lyrics that Elton John sings are mostly gibberish.

Well, yeah. They're meant to be more evocative than explicit, and Elton and Bernie clearly seem to love the sound of certain words, how certain syllables and sounds are strung together, etc. I have no problem with it at all. It's a strength.

prince isn't all that

YOU SHUT YER WHORE MOUTH!! /S

Foo Fighters is the blandest ‘rock’ band in existence. It’s rock for people who hate rock

 

[wok]

The synth pop revival is just as uncool as it was in the 80s

That's pretty standard knowledge in most music textbooks today.

I have heard "Tumbling Dice" hundreds if not thousands of times in my life and I couldn't tell you more than 5 words of the lyrics.

Hot take: I never liked either of them.

Me either. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Metallica is the blandest metal band in existence. It’s metal for people who hate metal

Pearl Jam > Nirvana

Tom Petty is more bland and vanilla than the icecream I ate last night

grind > jangle

80s pop ZZ Top > Blooz ZZ Top

Foo Fighters benefitted from a lack of competition. Most of the early 90's rock bands were either dying or breaking up, and their late 90's replacements largely sucked. Foo Fighters went pretty far on just being OK.

Them's fighting words. Prince is my favorite artist and songwriter.


Unpopular opinions?

Coldplay is a one-hit-wonder snooze fest.

Metallica hasn't been worth a shit since And Justice.

Paul McCartney should have stopped recording solo songs after Live and Let Die. (and should apologize for writing "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time". )

 

[dmn23]

Unpopular opinion: Buckley's "Hallelujah" is nails on a chalkboard. It's overblown and misses all of the subtlety and humor of Cohen's original version.

But Jet, though.

I like the Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band album.

Metallica's best album is either St. Anger or that one they did with Lou Reed. At least you could download those from the internet instead of wasting your money on them.

Yes.

No. No, you're a monster.

 

[Aahzz]

Steely Dan is painful to listen to
SRV's tone wasn't all that

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Tool is boring, bloated and exhausting and their fanbois are useless.

Meshuggah...same.

 

[jbj]

The Kinks shit all over the Beatles


Rod Stewarts naff solo stuff from late 70s on is better than his earlier stuff.

 

[Bones McHorror]

All prog rock is boring, bloated and exhausting and their fanbois are useless.

Fixed it for you.

Hyperbole, but only barely. Your fundamental argument isn't flawed.
