Unpopular Musical Opinions

[off kilter]

Foo Fighters were Criss Cross to Onyx.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Mars Volta to At The Drive In is like comparing the Pistols to PIL. No comparison unless your ******* too late.

PIL are ****ing awesome.

 

[two up]

Maybe unpopular, maybe not, but I think Era Vulgaris is the best QOTSA album

 

[katana]

metal sucks.

 

[The Speaker]

Beds Are Burning, voted the #3 Australian song of all time by the APRA, is incredibly boring and overrated. I don't mind the Oils as a rule, but detest this song.

I don't mind it, but it's not even close to my top twenty Oils songs.

I suspect part of the reason is because it gets played all the time.

No idea if this is unpopular or not, but after checking out some Coachella performances over the weekend I've come to the conclusion that Alt-j are up there as one of the most boring, insipid and uninspiring bands I've ever heard.

Who?

 

[WALDENPOND]

Who?

They are kind of a nothing band. You know, "UK indie pop" stuff.

 

[Contra Mundum]

Not unpopular as far as I'm concerned. Listen to Ghost Town by The Specials. Nice instrument.

Green Onions - a monument like Michaelangelo's David

You were talking about organ being underated - example: Booker T and the MGs "Green Onions" - multi racial in the early sixties too

Ahhh got it.

With that inspiring description its no wonder I hadn't heard of them.

I hope not to hear them in the future.

I wish you well in your future endeavours. One of those bands that are 'experimental' enough to distract people from the sheer nothingness of their music.

Their live show has been questioned over the last year or so

I find Frogstomp to be a bit boring and repetative

As a big QOTSA fan, I wouldn't say it's their best, but it's underrated.

I'll be controversial and say that 'Songs for the Deaf' is QOTSA's worst album (even then, it's still pretty great). Just doesn't have the same replay value for me as their other LPs do.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Experimental?

I know....

But have a look at some of the quotes here.

They seemed to get a lot of Radiohead comparisons when they first broke too.

Most 15 year olds are.

 

[Cruyff14]

The White Stripes are crap.

 

[WALDENPOND]

Apart from the odd song if it was on a radio or something I've never really bothered to listen to the White Stripes. I just assume they are like the Black Keys.

Well they both have An awesome guitarist and a s**t drummer

The bloke from the black keys must go through a kit a week. He smashes the **** out of those things.

 

[HeathySure]

PIL are ****ing awesome.

you could be wrong.. but you could be right!!
