re: What are your unpopular opinions on music?

Led Zeppelin is garbage

quote:

Foo farters music all sounds the same- yelling over bar chords.

I love Dave Grohl but this is 1000% correct

We saw them live not long ago and 45 minutes into it my wife and I wanted to leave because of a headache. It was just loud guitar playing over and over with screaming.

Dave Grohl is the most talented member of Nirvana.

And Cobain was a hack that could barely play guitar. I really like fender mustangs but he ruined them for me.

Smells like teen spirit is a shitty song.

And he didn't commit suicide.

Van Halen is the best American band ever. NO

Grunge ruined rock and roll for almost 20 years YES

Foo farters music all sounds the same- yelling over bar chords. MOST

Led Zep had the best run of albums in history. NO

Oasis released pure sh!t music. YES

Pantera was the best metal band ever. Whenever I hear of the " big 4" , I chuckle at these goofball bands........especially Anthrax and Slayer. NOT QUALIFIED TO SAY

Country music is for retards unless it's David Allen Coe, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson or Hank 3. WRONG, YOU LEFT OFF GEORGE JONES

Stevie Nicks sings like a baby goat. YES!!!!

Slash is a sloppy lazy guitar player who can't bend a note to correct pitch. YES!!!!

Jackyl singer Jessi James should have replaced Brian Johnson in AC/DC. Axl Rose sounded like crap trying to sing ACDC.

YES

Foo Fighters are not good

Meghan Trainor is actually good pop music

Aerosmith is overrated

So is KISS

1) Despite the fact that they are considered to be one of the "greatest" rock bands of the past 25 years, the Foo Fighters are one of the most generic-sounding, neutered groups I have ever heard. I'll never understand why Dave Grohl disbanded the raw, visceral, and artistically-centered music of his Nirvana days in favor of the Foo Fighters sound. At their peak, Queens of the Stone Age were light years ahead of the Foo Fighters.

2) Bruce Springsteen is a much better performer than writer. His songwriting abilities are greatly exaggerated.

3) Beyonce was better with Destiny's Child than as a solo artist.

4) Pearl Jam have been cruising on the success of their debut for three decades now.

5) Patti Labelle's voice was more powerful than Aretha Franklin's.

6) Despite Southpark's critique, Phil Collins is one of the greatest pop artists of all-time.

7) I'll agree with a prior poster...Nickelback's sound isn't NEARLY as terrible as it's made out to be. Granted, their music is utterly devoid of any semblance of artistic merit. But, as a commercial rock band looking to sell records, there are few who have done better in the post-grunge era. I once claimed that All the Right Reasons would be regarded as the Pyromania of my generation.

8) As a vocalist, Christina Aguilera is a drastically greater talent than Britney Spears.

9) Regardless of their albums sales and popularity among white audiences, Drake and Lil Wayne wouldn't even sniff a list of the top-100 MCs of all-time.

10) I don't give two fricks about Jason Isbell's recent political and social standings. I think he is arguably the most talented lyricist and songwriter of this century.

Jimmy Page had a terrible gtr tone for a Gibson - no depth to his tone whatsoever

Shut your whore mouth!!!!!!!!

Yeah we always want to make them much better and bigger than they were.

Even though most likely half of them would have been playing casinos or broken up a decade later.

The Beatles are the most overrated shitty boy band ever.

This is an unpopular opinion because it is wrong. "GaryGator has shitty understanding of music", is probably a much more popular opinion.

This doesn't belong here. Doesn't everyone with any taste know this?
