Achtung! Post unpopular music opinions that you have

wok

Nasi Goreng Afficionado
Be honest and serious ( I know, it’s asking a bit much)

Mine:

- Pink Floyd are the ultimate borelords. Sleep inducing muzak
- Blues is dead
- St. Vincent is pretentious and not half as interesting as she tries to be. Oh, and Annie isn’t that attractive either

Go!
 
Blues unfortunately is not dead (yet)
Technically perfect music (instrument and voice) is the worst , boring and mundane
The period from 76 to 86 was probably the best period of pop/rock music to date
The 90's overall were the worst era of pop/rock music.
 
As to Wok's post:

1.Correct, except for DSotM, WYH, & The Wall
2. Incorrect, they are playing for the Western Conference championship now :wink:
3. True, and false - would :embarrassed:


Mine:

Dio-era Sabbath is infinitely better than Ozzy-era Sabbath
Vektor - Terminal Redux is the best album of the 2010's
Sabaton is better than jazz, because you don't learn military history by listening to jazz.

I don't argue. Love what makes you happy. Only commenting on this because I think it's funny this is the exact opposite of my opinion.

I hate most live versions. Give me Yes, in the studio.

1975 They stopped making good music. Obviously, there are exceptions but nowhere near the massive amount of great music made the previous ten years.

1990 Somebody said it was OK to make good music again.

What was the question again?

What is the pretense?

She comes across as down to earth in interviews. And her music is more accessible than say speed metal that claims to channel yer viking ancestors and mozart or something.

Struck a nerve there?

Btw, I am the first to state that most metal is cheesy and infantile, so not sure why you had to mention metal :shrug:
 
The lyrics that Elton John sings are mostly gibberish.
A lot of Journey that you hear on the radio is the same - gibberish.
Bob Seger is a downer.
Bryan Adams sucks.
The popular music of the 90s sucked so bad that it pushed me more toward Blues music. Blues is happier music.

I dunno I see this word go around and it is never explained is all. No one can ever explain it about Radiohead either.

I bring up metal because I'm not sure how 'pretentious' is considered a negative within that fandom.
 
Which pic to use to describe this thread?

any era has both great and horrible music but my dislike for the 90's overall was the homogenization of the popular music...there was some absolutely fantastic stuff but overall it was boring, predictable and the tones sucked. people mention a lot how they dislike the tonz from teh 80's but whatever :embarrassed: perhaps the 2000's on are the worst era for popular music but I approach it differently....because the 90's corporate hunt and industrialization of "starz" and the next big thing changed the face of the poular music. By contrast you take that period from 76 or so till mid eighties and there was just a huge explosion of creativity and originality.
I just don't think the vast majority of 90's stuff holds up, the underground stuff yeah, the less than popular...sure. Anything overly popular , no
also the period from about 68 to 75 was great but not really a fan of the early and mid 60's mainly because it's too corny :embarrassed: and of course the 50's is just dinasaur rock ....uggggh
