I like Bob Dylan’s singing voice, before he stopped smoking. I’ve heard maybe one cover of a Dylan song that I might like as much as Dylan’s version (not including All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix).

The Byrds ruined Mr. Tambourine Man.

I use Tom Petty songs to torture other musicians, cause noone actually likes him.

Now just wait a minuet! Some of his later stuff was pretty suite.

Jazz and rock flutes are an abomination.

The Hurdy-gurdy is pretty cool, but most practitioners are not unlike the bag of a bagpipe.

I should also mention that Johannes Brahms was actually the same immortal who was previously known as Solomon, Alexander, and Leonardo da Vinci. And all four of the Beatles died early on and were replaced by Elvis Presley clo…wait. Do we just mean liking the wrong things, not unpopular music opinions in general? Never mind then.

Music is almost always better without singing. Pop music relies upon songs because most listeners do not have the attention span to listen to music.

It’s a crime that Joss “Chuck De Nomolos” Ackland’s verbal stylings (many, admittedly, plagiarized from Steven Wright) were not included on the album version of the Pet Shop Boys’ cover of Always On My Mind.

Is it “unpopular” if it’s an opinion everyone will agree with even though it’s something no one else has ever thought?

I can’t believe I didn’t know until just now that Roland was a circular breather.

…which is why we listen to zeuhl (that, and to torture @japhroaig ) - the lyrics are all in a made-up language, so the listeners aren’t going to hang their understanding of the music on that crutch…
