Unpopular Music Opinions III: Friggin Cobbler Vs. The World

[elevated_u2_fan]

This isnt the terrible music opinions thead...

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

Wow, Reckoner boring? If you had said House of Cards or something...

I prefer House Of Cards. Heck, I even prefer Videotape with the irritating drums. I know only a few people who share my opinion about Reckoner on this board. One of them is Irishteen.

Gotta say, as much as I love Reckoner (seriously, incredible tune, top 3 on the album along with Weird Fishes and All I Need), I reckon this cover just about tops it... if only they included the coda.

Gnarls Barkley - Reckoner (Radiohead cover live HIGH QUALITY) - YouTube

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, it's great. I need to get a very high quality mp3 of that performance. Or the Austin City Limits one.

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

Actually I don't hate Reckoner or anything. It just bores me a bit. But I will listen to that Gnarls Barkley cover. I will give it a chance.

Is there no room for unpopular music opinions on this board???

 

[cobl04]

Plenty of room LMSZoots, that's why the thread's named after me...

I hope you are not implying House of Cards is boring. Because it is not. It is glorious.

I saw it paired with Pyramid Song last year. That was like 10-12 minutes of absolute bliss.

 

[u2popmofo]

Every song on Amnesiac > House of Cards

 

[cobl04]

Well that's just incorrect.

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

Here's another unpopular opinion (maybe)...

I prefer Kid A's Morning Bell to the one on Amnesiac. That one should've been replaced by Cuttooth or something.

 

[u2popmofo]

I think that's the popular opinion.

Cuttooth is perfect as a b-side though, wouldn't have made much sense on either album.

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

Okay I got the mother of all unpopular opinions right here.

I like Sting.

 

[u2popmofo]

Fields Of Dick | My Dick

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

WTF lmao!

Btw, Sting has a new album out apparently.

 

[djerdap]

I think that's the popular opinion.

Cuttooth is perfect as a b-side though, wouldn't have made much sense on either album.

Fits like a glove between Dollars and Cents and Like Spinning Plates, which was the original placement of the song, before it was inexplicably replaced by Hunting Bears.

 

[iron yuppie]

I think that's the popular opinion.

Also one of the most frequently-occurring discussions in B&C.

 

[No spoken words]

I don't really like Elvis Costello.

Well, his music that is. He seems like a great guy. But his voice just....no.

 

[LemonMelon]

One of my favorite artists. His voice fits the lyricism so well.

Trompe le Monde is one of the best Pixies albums.

 

[lazarus]

"One of the best"? There's not many.

 

[LemonMelon]

There are four albums and two EPs. Among those releases, I find it to be in the top 2.

Don't be a dick.

Spoiler

too late lololololol

 

[LemonMelon]

Also, I didn't think the new EP was total ear rape, just a bit forgettable.

You said "albums", of which there are 4. "One of the best" means more than one. It's an odd way of phrasing your sentiment.

FWIW, I also think it's their second best. Most Pixies fans I know prefer it to Bossanova, that's for sure.

 

[LemonMelon]

My distaste for Bossanova probably also belongs in this thread. It's fine but I've never warmed to it. The combination of Trompe le Monde's dirty production and the prettiest melodies of their career makes perfect sense.

 

[djerdap]

I love Bossanova and it's my second favorite. I do think Trompe Le Monde is really good, but the second half trumps it down a bit.

 

[IWasBored]

there are only about 4 or 5 pixies songs i really love.

 

[cobl04]

Do you guys wanna have a guess at what the only Pixies song I've heard is?

 

[IWasBored]

Eve 6's cover of Alison?

 

[LemonMelon]

Do you guys wanna have a guess at what the only Pixies song I've heard is?

Probably Bagboy or something on EP1.

If it isn't Debaser, you need to fucking listen to that shit right fucking now.

 

[cobl04]

It's Where Is My Mind. Come on guys, it was in Fight Club.

This Debaser tune is fucking sweet though
