Unpopular musical opinions

[Zoots]

Here's one:

Led Zeppelin I is better than II, III, or IV.

I just blew your fucking minds.

Rolling Stone agrees with you actually... according to their 500 Greatest Albums of all time list.

Oh god, I really don't like the plodding In The Air Tonight but I like a lot of Collins songs including those mentioned just now.

Well tie that in with your comment about how you like more studio than live and it all makes perfect sense.

You listen to that tune live. Absolute gold.

 

[bono_212]

Oh and there is a drum solo in that song??? Guess I need to listen more closely, lol.

:blink:

 

[gvox]

If it Isn't Love by New Edition? Yup, I like that song.

Ok this has easily turned into a 'this is fucking brilliant music and if you don't like it go fuck yourself' thread.

Count Me Out
Cool It Now
etc etc etc

Ah okay. Yeah usually the verses of In The Air Tonight bore me so much that I change the radio station almost immediately. I guess I never got to that drum solo.

well shit, yeah, the song would pretty much suck without the drums at the end... no wonder you don't like it...

Watch me get this thread back on track, and in grand fucking style:

I LIKE a few songs from TOTO

That's right.

I like some TOTO songs.

Bring it, fuck-os.

Rosanna

 

[gvox]

Jesus, I just realized something. We've all been had by Axver's psycho-sociological experiment. He hasn't even posted in this damn thread, and all we're proving is that our unpopular opinions aren't really all that odd after all.

We really are ONE.

:headexplodes:

Rosanna

I forgot about that one, and Africa. That's 4 Toto songs. Come burn me at the stake, Pitchforkers.

 

[U2DMfan]

In my experiences on this board, and off, Toto is despised and mocked.

+5 for mentioning Rush
-10 for the bassist in the Rosanna video alone

You mean some people think otherwise?

You know what?

Their videos are the absolute worst, I cannot argue that.

I LOVE Africa.

My favorite memory of playing GTA: Vice City is going on rampages in a car while listening to that on the radio.

Did you know that you can play GTA IV LIVE? Did you know that?!!!?

 

[u2popmofo]

Did you know that you can play GTA IV LIVE? Did you know that?!!!?

I think I'd be offended watching you constantly commit virtual hate crimes.



-I......sort of like She Will Be Loved

Maybe that should be in a thread called "Horrifying musical revelations"

I actually own that album. It's enjoyable enough. I would never listen to it all the way through these days, but it seemed quite good when it first came out.

 

[Salome]

- the 70s sucked musically except for Fleetwood Mac, The Beach Boys and Frank Zappa
- nothing innovative has been released since Aphex Twin's first album
- Jon Spencer Blues Explosion should have been 100x as big as the White Stripes
- De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig is the most interesting rap act at the moment, Mystery repeats is the single of the year and Anouk's If I go being the best rock song

The Beach Boys released albums after Surf's Up?

 

[phanan]

Holy shit, I get busy at work during the afternoon and this thread exploded.

Floyd? Zep?.... Billy Joel? No?

 

[phanan]

-Most of the prog-rock is overrrated and is pretentious

 

[Zoots]

I'm not a super huge fan of prog rock but at least it's more listenable than punk!

 

[u2popmofo]

I think the title and point of this thread has completely gone over the heads of a number of you.

 

[phanan]

I'll throw out some unpopular things, at least around here:

I don't care for Wilco.

David Bowie is overrated.

Believe it or not, arena rock groups from the late 70's/early 80's (Journey, Foreigner, Styx, etc.) did have a few good songs.

Progressive Rock is a beautiful musical genre.

Latter day Yes is just as good as classic Yes.

The 80's did have good music.


I'm sure I could come up with more - that's off the top of my head.

 

[Dalton]

I LOVE Africa.

Bono?

 

[phillyfan26]

David Bowie is overrated.

You spend too much time with the Three Musketeer/Mavericks.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't care for Wilco.

I felt similarly...and then I saw them live. Now I just shut up and respect.

Word.

I have a friend that doesn't care for Wilco, but he's deaf.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i haven't bothered reading this thread, so:

- i like 80s music.
- i don't like the beatles.

unsurprising, i know, but still worth mentioning...
