re: What are your unpopular opinions on music?

Kanye and experimental rap similar to that is worse than Trap rap

For some reason I still don't care for most Metallica. . . (despite trying)

Tommy Emmanuel is good for about two songs and then he's simply grating on the ears.

Most rap, boy bands, and practically all new country should played in public as frequently as ISIS radio.

My public radio station (WBHM) is in bad need of a format change.

iHeart/Clear-channel radio could go bankrupt and the world would instantly become a much better place.

If you can't sing the words in public then turning up the slack key doesn't make it any better.

That's one of mine too. I can listen to Master Of Puppets or Kill Em All once in a blue moon but overall they just don't do it for me. There's something a little too militaristic and rigid about their sound. I find the best Megadeth stuff way better even though I'm not even much into them either.

The Beatles, Rush, Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan all suck and Punk is the best genre.

I’ll take that a step further and say I don’t like any metal

Rap is musical slouching?

U2 and Bono are the the Westboro Baptist Church of Rock?

Gladys not Aretha?

Neil Sedaka not Willie Nelson is America's greatest musical treasure second only to John Phillip Sousa
and Johnny Mercer?

I like rap, and I'm pretty sure that's more unpopular here than ripping rap

there are plenty of posters here (and the OT) who like it. You are hardly a voice in the wilderness

don't get your martyr's sack cloth and ashes tailored just yet

So you are saying "Becky with the good hair" is trash...lol

The following all suck, and should be used sparingly or not at all:
1. Synthesizer keyboard tones. Pretty much anything but piano and organ tones is corny and makes music sound dated and artificial.
2. Drum machines. They sound like garbage, everyone knows they’re fake. If you’re the level of a major label musician, you can afford a session drummer to play those licks for real.
3. Gated reverb. It sounds like crap and dates music because it was pretty much only used in the 80’s. It sucks, sounds fake, and people should stop using it.
4. Fake horn tones. For god’s sake, just use a real horn section!
5. “Sampling” riffs of popular songs. I know that sampling drum breaks was a big part of the birth of rap, but it sickens me to hear crap like Kid Rock “Singing Sweet Home Alabama all Summer Long”.
