I like Tomorrow, and a few of the songs are alright on their own, but as a whole I have always found myself waiting for it to end

I know what you mean. And I think you should judge music for music. But in reality it's hard not to judge/admire their music considering their age. Kind of like a piano player if he only had four fingers, most would judge it differently.

Skilfulness in music has gone so far backwards overall. I went and saw two performers that were apparently adroit on piano playing classical music that sounded clunky at best recently. Even seeing the violin, my favourite instrument, in well known orchestras has been horrible in things I've heard lately. I prefer listening to Owen Pallett.

Disagree on both counts. Very cynical. How old are you?

Too old.
But that's probably it. LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening was the last album I really loved.

In the mainstream, true.
But now with the internet at our disposal, the reach of music is much bigger. But because that is much bigger, we also have a lot more access to a lot of crap. But if you're willing to search a bit, there is so much great music out there.
Just avoid the radio and JB

I actually think this is a decent album:
Got ripped to shreds by critics and fans, but I thought it was a well-produced, bold attempt at doing something different from a life-long rocker.

Booker T and the MGs were genius. You guys have surely heard this
on the cricket! 1968!
Agree about the blandness of the Foo Fighters, and personally to that list I'd add many much liked current-ish bands, Kasabian spring to mind for one.
My take is that there's good music being made in every decade, it's a matter of seeking it out. A lot of folk stop searching new music out as they get past their mid-20's say. I've been listening to and buying popular music since the 60s; nowadays I mostly, but not exclusively listen to hip-hop; I feel there comes a time in life when you've heard enough white-boy guitar rock to last a lifetime!
Sites like BigFooty, amongst others, are a great resource for me in finding new music.

Grunge didn't kill 80s hair metal, it was already well on the way out.
Nirvana and co. just came along at the right place in the right time.

Agree. I've never understood the praise they get.

This is the Unpopular Musical Opinion thread.
I want to add Pearl Jam post Ten to the suck balls list.
Vs was good too.

I liked it. Lost interest after that.

I used to be meh about Nirvana as well, but In Utero blew my mind.
Pearl Jam is one of those many bands I loved as a teen, but struggle to listen to beyond small doses nowadays.

Do people like Smashing Pumpkins? Billy Corgan is a Campaigner, but Siamese Dream is my favourite album of all time.

Aside from "Mayonaise" (one of the most gorgeous songs you'll ever hear), I can take or leave most of Siamese Dream. I feel like Mellon Collie is pretty bloated and lacklustre, too. Absolutely love Adore and Machina, though, and thought Oceania was a brilliant return to form.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I actually think Live at Reading is the best representation of their work.
