Unpopular Musical Opinions

It's part of a great album though.

I listened to it front to back a couple of weeks ago and whilst it was nice and bluesy, I didn't think there was anything memorable on it and I probably won't be going back to it. Bobby Whitlock's voice just isn't my liking. I prefer Blind Faith as my favourite of Clapton's side projects.

I don't care for Whitlock's voice either. What makes the album for me is the presence of Brother Duane Allman. I personally hold him in higher esteem than Clapton.

Ronnie James Dio was Black Sabbath’s best frontman

Probably true, but the material he was working with doesn't compare to their first run

'Heaven and Hell' is the only Sabbath album I listen to.

Bay City Rollers don’t get enough credit .

Songs For the Deaf is overrated. Far too much filler, and some of the longer songs are unnecessary and boring.

Rated R is the perfect QOTSA LP.

Lyndsey Buckingham: Hold my beer!

Speaking of ordinary guitarists...

But there aren't any beautiful guitar parts after he joined?

They were all played by Peter Green weren't they?

Bucks is a beautiful finger picking guitarist. For the song .

Picket Palace’s song about Tippimgwuti was rubbish attempt at gaining notoriety, and they’ve backed this up with songs about Richo and Andy Maher.

Very comparable to The Chats’ release of ‘Smoko’ and other bloke/bogan-themed songs. ‘Smoko’ was an amusing chime but that’s it, you’ve had your 15 minutes now get out of my ears because the gimmick is old.

It was ******* rubbish. Just sounded like noise. Absolute rubbish.

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

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

I agree wholeheartedly, however it wasn't always that way.
Check out his album "Post" from 34 years ago. It is sublime

PIL are ****ing awesome.

I mistakenly thought they were a joke as well based of this one song. They’re actually pretty great and carrying on a fine oz garage sound.

I also would've thought that they were a one-off novelty, but Pub Feed was a decent track as well. I wasn't so hot on Identity Theft though. Time will tell I guess.

The Guantanamo Bay City Rollers and their album “No one calls you lazy when you’re hooked on crystal meth” don’t get enough credit.

Feel the same here.

Identity Theft is meh.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

The original version of Killing Me Softly by Lori Lieberman is the best version and is more heartfelt than Roberta Flack's cover and shits all over Lauryn Hill with The Fugees.

Apparently relates to the song American Pie by Don McLean somehow.

Ronnie James Dio was Black Sabbath’s best frontman

Best vocalist by a country mile, but Ozzy is a legendary frontman.

Unpopular opinion: Yes are my favourite prog rock band, not Pink Floyd. I wouldn't ridicule Pink Floyd's technical abilities, but Yes had some peerless musicians (Squire, Howe, Bruford, Wakeman).

EDIT: I also find Jon Anderson a more engaging vocalist than Roger Waters in particular.

Everybody here wants you is Jeff Buckley’s second best song, behind Last Goodbye

 

[HeathySure]

even though i disagreed with this forever, I now think 70s disco music has dated a lot better than punk music and much much better than most 80s music especially the synth stuff

 

[Cruyff14]

John Cale's version of Hallelujah eclipses all others. Not to say the others are poor, but man, his launches into another stratosphere.



You can feel his heartbreak toward the end of that final verse.
