Unpopular musical opinions II

[Cute Irish Bono]

I know about the spelling error.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

how much less could you care?

This thread is called unpopular musicial opinions.So keeping that in mind, in regard, to Interpol, sorry, it's not my cup of tea. The singer is whiny and a little too proud of himself to me.

I think that Bernard Sumner is one of the dullest vocalists I've heard (not quite as boring as the Interpol dude though, someone should check if he's actually a robot).

I think Khanada was just poking fun at your grammar. The correct phrase is "COULDN'T care less", not "COULD care less". It's a very common mistake.

For the record, I hate Interpol as well. The lead singer also denied trying to sound like Ian Curtis, which is just absolutely ridiculous. At least own up to your influences.

really doesn't stand up to repeated listens, that one.

though i've always liked 'narc'.

Is that a Yorkeshire terrier?


Ahhhhhhh, snap!

Ah shit dude. Probably.

In any case, it's a bipedal dog, and the natural thing is to put Thom Yorke's face on it. I don't see how hard that is to figure out, it is a pure outburst of human feeling.

I found Curtis rather one-note and boring. His voice suited the material, I guess, but I certainly wouldn't have wanted to listen to more albums of it.

Joy Divisions are probably only so well regarded because they only have two albums, if they kept going people probably would of eventually got sick of Ian's voice. He suits the songs but yeah if they kept going it would have just been boring

i've never been a grunge fan.

Sounds like you're listening to the wrong bands! See if you can listen to the following and get back to me:

Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies
Soundgarden - Superunknown

Turn On The Bright Lights & Our Love To Admire > Antics - that's kinda unpopular, to rank Our Love To Admire ahead of Antics, but the better songs on Antics aren't anywhere near as good as the better songs on Our Love To Admire.

For the record, I adore Paul Banks vocal, and could listen to Ian Curtis endlessly. Insight

Also, Banks doesn't always sound like Curtis. While it's blatant on the songs like Obstacle 1 and Evil, on his solo album and some of the tracks off OLTA, he sounds nothing like Curtis.

Neil Diamond is awesome!

Ours is an amazing band.

Morrissey is good, but far far too overrated, especially his lyrics.

Radiohead is great but far far too overrated when it comes to being labeled "experimental". They found a sound guys, I don't see them straying from it anytime soon. And Thom's voice seems to be fading faster than most singers...

Just to name a few...

I can find no fault in ANY part of Age of Consent, one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Here's something unpopular. I enjoy Antics as much as Turn On The Bright Lights.

The White Stripes are one of the most boring bands of the 21st century

 

[cobl04]

you have obviously never heard The Hardest Button to Button

 

[phillyfan26]

This is awful.

They're not more boring than Cockplay, that's for sure.

Oh a have, really meh song

 

[phillyfan26]

1. I would take How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb over War any day of the week.

2. The Rolling Stones were better than The Beatles.

3. So are U2.

4. Paul McCartney was a better songwriter than John Lennon. Better singer too.

5. Radiohead is overrated and is best when they're at their poppiest.

6. Robbie Williams is the most underrated musician I think I've ever heard. He gets tossed aside as mindless pop trash but he has a few genius albums, is one of the best performers I've ever seen, writes a great lyric, and has some ace tunes.

7. The Red Hot Chili Peppers new albums are better than their old stuff. They get better with age.

8. Bob Dylan's new music is awful.

9. Chinese Democracy was pretty good.

10. I wish Jenny Lewis would stick with Rilo Kiley. Her solo stuff is great, but that band is something special.

11. The Killers have a chance to be the next U2.

12. Noel over Liam as a vocalist.

13. Oasis's music gets really old really quick.

14. Pearl Jam consistently puts out new albums with only 4 worthwhile songs on them.

The fail is strong with this one.

Yeah, but I'd actually take Atomic Serve over CockWar as well.

And I would lower that number on the Pearl Jam statement.

These five are absurdly awful.

This is unpopular?

I don't care what anyone says. The three best Beatles songs were Let It Be, Yesterday, and The Long and Winding Road, and all 3 are McCartney, all the way.


And I'll take Mick and the boys over the Beatles any day.
