Unpopular Musical Opinions

Yeah that was a Marty Friedman solo I believe, think he was in the band for the whole 90s or thereabouts so you're probably talking about him. He could shred as well like a motherf***er, great guitar player, ended up living in Japan and playing pop music I believe.

Apparently Marty wanted to continue down the Risk direction.

Didn’t mind Risk, bit uneven but some good songs across pop rock to metal.

Metallica are a metal band influenced by other metal bands, but Dave seems to have more variety of influence, from punk to rock n roll.

Vale Anita Lane
Nick Cave's own muse
Hope there isn't another grief album on the way.
Just ring up Mick Harvey,Blixa and plug the guitars in and let it rip.

Like, no.

Tim Rogers is the Aussie Ray Davies.

Ray's got him covered, but I think you're mostly right.

I've always thought of Tim as a mix of Ray Davies and Pete Townshend.

Ray's got almost everyone covered. Underrated.

Agree 100%.

I'm about to purchase The Kinks: Songs Of The Semi-detached. It's had some pretty good press and I want to add to my Kinks biographies.

I hadn't heard of that book before now but having read a couple of reviews it looks an interesting read. Apparently it sets the songs against the backdrop of post-war Britain. Kinks songs were full of social commentary.

I dont have much too add other than anything non instrumental and pop 'stars' that dont write their own music or lyrics are complete trash and I wont give them, their followers and the pathetic money driven pieces of s**t commercial radio stations one second of my time.

No band has had a better lyricist, IMHO.

It's genuinely eye opening how well The Kinks material stands up to their more revered contemporaries. Pete Townshend once said in an interview, "I exalt Ray Davies!"

I'm glad you said as film score composers.

Death Metal is as diverse, technical and imaginative as any other musical subgenre I can think of, there are some truly great musicians that don't get respect because of the type of music they play.

99% of all metal would sound better without vocals.

Metalingus is quite satisfying vocally.

I think he lives in the Beatles shadow a bit (who doesn't?)

But no doubt he is an all time great songwriter.

Urban Hymns is better than Whats the story morning glory

Katy Perry is a rare exception to modern mainstream pop being trash

 

[Blackhawk42]

I'm in my 30's and never listened to hip hop, but emo rap is excellent when done correctly.

Urban Hymns is better than Whats the story morning glory

Bit of a toss-up for mine, not too controversial though.

How about Urban Hymns vs Definitely Maybe?

I think you have to tolerate some average vocals as a metal fan sometimes that's for sure, I'm a huge Megadeth fan but Mustaine's voice has its moments ha ha

Almost all metal is better with clean vocals

I only rate Dylan higher as a songwriter.

I'm biased but I much prefer The Kinks to The Beatles. And I really like The Beatles.

A while ago I would have agreed but I've certainly gotten into the more brutal metal over the years and good growls really do add something to metal. Once you can get into growls it opens up so much more good metal for you to enjoy, thank god I got into it.

 

[La Dispute]

Agree with this. The singles hold up well, and as an overall listening experience it’s way ahead.

Weeping Willow is ahead of anything on WTSMG too.

A good growl for me is from Thank You Pain by The Agonists.
