Unpopular musical opinions

[LemonMelon]

- There are no good double albums.

To me, this is highly incorrect. I could give examples, but you wouldn't agree with/have heard most of them.

I am yet to hear a double album that wouldn't have been better as a single album.

This is probably true for me as well.

- The average death growl or black metal rasp or whatever is better than the average clean vocal.

And this is the funniest thing I've heard all day. Keep it mind, I woke up about a half hour ago.

 

[LMP]

Black metal doesn't mean it's metal done by black people. This isn't an opinion or anything, but a funny fact I'm glad to have learned.

there you go making this about race again

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

LMP is just one of those fake-American elitist mavericks.

 

[LemonMelon]

They don't call him a Maverick for nothing.

 

[LMP]

They call it the Bloodmoon Effect.

GAF, you are Dennis Hopper in Hoosiers.

 

[UberBeaver]

They call it the Bloodmoon Effect.

Blooood-mooooon!
By your light we STRIKE!
Blooood-mooooon!
Tonight is the NIGHT!

I love that song.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

on ICE I tell you!

 

[UberBeaver]

Different song. How many 49 minute songs do you think were written about the War of the Dwarves and Gnomes, man? Jesus, man, King Crimson alone wrote 12. There's going to be some crossover - but all in all, mine is all new.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

alright, just don't come crying to me when Rick Wakeman sues your ass...

 

[UberBeaver]

You think I'm scared of this guy?

 

[LMP]

It looks like he has bitchtits.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Dude is a Wizard though!

 

[UberBeaver]

Dude is a Wizard though!

See? My version does not mention wizards. My tale takes place before the wizards got involved. Totally different. Mine also has a 9 minute glockenspeil intro. His version? 6 minute OUTRO.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

all circumstantial in court...

 

[gvox]

Avril Lavigne is super cute.

Tom Petty is pretty cute, too, actually.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say both might possibly agree to a threesome if you framed it nicely enough.

A threesome with Avril Lavigne and Tom Petty would immediately move into my list of Top 10 threesomes I've ever had.

-Apostle of Hustle are the best Broken Social Scene side project (and that includes the BSS Presents "solo" albums and Stars)

 

[Axver]

And this is the funniest thing I've heard all day. Keep it mind, I woke up about a half hour ago.

Let's see if I can make you laugh again.

- Electioneering is the best song on OK Computer. In fact, the rest is pretty much junk.
- Speaking of Radiohead, Jimmy Eat World > Radiohead.
- Unknown Pleasures absolutely SLAYS Closer. Really, I find Closer somewhat boring and don't play it much except for Twenty Four Hours. Unknown Pleasures, on the other hand, is one of my favourite albums of all time.
- DSOTM is not one of Pink Floyd's five best albums. Of the five better albums, two happen to be Piper and Atom Heart Mother.
- I said this on the Unpopular U2 Opinions thread in EYKIW, but it really belongs here more - the best cover of All Along The Watchtower is U2's Lovetown Tour version.

 

[Zoots]

Axver, you're such a troll sensationalist!

 

[LemonMelon]

- Unknown Pleasures absolutely SLAYS Closer. Really, I find Closer somewhat boring and don't play it much except for Twenty Four Hours. Unknown Pleasures, on the other hand, is one of my favourite albums of all time.

I actually agree with this.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I don't.

 

[Axver]

I actually agree with this.

Damnit.

... wait.

I don't.

Shall I slag off the last two songs on Closer again?

 

[The Sad Punk]

Sure, but you'd be wrong.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The Strokes are one of the best bands goin' today.
Ashlee Simpson's debut album is really good.
My mom is a better singer than your mom.

 

[Saracene]

- Amy Winehouse's debut album, Frank, is much better than Back to Black. Which is good, but not -that- good.

- Eddie Vedder is awesome, but Pearl Jam is a rather ordinary band

Led Zeppelin's "Comunication Breakdown" was the first Punk song...

I know Punk was a reaction to how rich and bloated bands like Zep had become. However, watch Zep's How the West was Won live DVD (Royal Albert Hall 1970). It's hard to deny that the guitar sounded quite punk-like. The speed and aggressive guitar on Communication breakdown is unmistakeable (and actually quite atypical of Zep's music. (One of the Ramones acknowledged they got the idea for the classic downward strum motion many punk guitarists use from watching Jimmy Page on that very song).

Cheers

PS. to hear whatI'm talking about you have to listen to an early live version, not the studio version

How ironic!

If that second quote is indeed true, I would lose some respect for the whole punk scene!

Nah, The Ramones weren't the self impressed douche bags that most of the other punks bands that followed them became. The Ramones were cool, they just rocked.
