Unpopular Musical Opinions

[james Dean]

Nobody over the age of 30 should be rapping

Heavy metal is more than noise, and metal musicians are talented in their own right.

An opinion only those too shallow of the mind or who lack any understanding of what can be considered art hold that belief.

It's fine to not like it, but only idiots say they aren't talented.

He said that heavy metal is MORE than noise. And said that metal musicians are talented. Maybe read it again.

Maybe read mine again mate. I may have worded it like a ponce, but it's there. Maybe just read the last sentence thoroughly.

Michale Graves wasn't terrible a front man for the Misfits. Sure he ain't as good as Danzig but he was ok.

Taylor Swift is an absolutely bog average singer and it was a huge mistake to feature Brandon Urie on her trash new single, because that guy is an absolute beast and he makes her look completely second rate.

If you're artist name starts with 'lil' then you automatically suck. It wasn't cool when Lil'Bow Wow did it and it isn't cool now.

Mainstream music has never been worse (this might not be so unpopular). Recently found a playlist of hits I made in 2008 (one that was mostly top 10 songs form that year at some point). There was a proper spread of genres and it didn't all sound like it was produced by the same person. Whether the best songs from that year are better than the best ones from now isn't the argument, it's the spread throughout a mix of over 50 songs that highlights the greater depth in diversity.

Yeah I've never understood the Taylor Swift thing. She is the only long-running pop star who has never appealed to me or produced a respectable banger. Virtually every other maligned figure has done this at some point, but I don't give a crap about any of her output. Her success puzzles me.

2009-10 was certainly a dip in chart singles, when that crappy club thing was totally dominant. 2012 was also putrid, and 2019 has been very weak as well.

Rhianna is a lazy singer.

I guess she's easily marketable.

Plus the mainstream don't always have good tastes.

Paul Kelly‘s music is incredibly bland and uninspiring and doesn’t deserve the amount of fawning over it that it receives.

*Checks thread title.

Yep, it’s in the right place

So, how about those unpopular MUSICAL opinions huh?

To get back on topic...

I find guitar virtuosos, and even guitarists like Slash, to be incredibly boring.

Check out Polyphia Tim. Awesome incredible band.

RRR in Melbourne
ZZZ in Brisbane
3D in Adelaide

I wish Sydney had something even remotely close to those three.

Nirvana were bland and derivative. 90s was a terrible decade for music. 70s Pink Floyd bores me to death.

She is a marketing genius.

It's because (guitarist here) he finger-picks the strings, which is really really rare for rock guitar. It means totally different right hand movements - because you then use your fingers (individually) to play each string, as opposed to the thumb and the wrist which really dominates when using a pick. It also means that me can switch between strings very, very, very rapidly.

Dark Side Of The Moon doesn’t do much for me. It’s not that I’m anti-Pink Floyd; I love Wish You Were Here, and The Wall is in my top five albums ever but I don’t exactly go on a trip when I listen to DSOTM and no song besides Money is super memorable to me.

While I love dsotm, I kind of understand some of the criticism. It's a very 'easy to digest' and simple album in spite of the experimentation and subject matter.

Fleetwood Mac were better than The Beatles

Not after Peter Green left.

It’s surprisingly punchy, and the longer songs don’t drag either.

WYWH doesn’t have the same effect, and takes multiple listens though.

Ronnie James Dio was Black Sabbath’s best frontman

Layla is a god awful song solely held up by a very prolific and innovative riff

Yep.

Layla is a god awful song solely held up by a very prolific and innovative riff

It's part of a great album though.
