Share your unpopular music opinions

That would be problematic for a fan to google now…kind of the same way I have to be creative when looking for music on Youtube by Sex Gang Children when I’m at work…

Well, @funruly likes something by Jimmy Buffett, so that’s a big clue.

But then I love The Who, The Clash, Emmylou Harris, Foo Fighters (don’t tell me the songs all sound the same), and early Chicago (CTA).

Notice how I waited until everyone is done with this thread to admit to Chicago?

String bands rule

Hardly an unpopular opinion. If you love music, it’s impossible to hate this take.

Trent Reznor writes lyrics undeserving of print in a high school poetry magazine.

Mc Chris is underrated.

Billy Joel sucks. New Yorkers like him because he’s from New York. His music reeks of disingenuousity.

If piano is your thing, switch over to Ben Folds.

NiN are shining examples (poster children?) of the countless bands/groups/performers who I complain might be listenable - if only they’d stop singing!

Prog had become Zeuhl and RIO by the time it had taken over the world.

So have you heard Ghosts I-IV?

While Trent reznors lyrics are… How to say… Not respectable poetry, I still enjoy the timbre of his voice.

My favourite singer is a classically trained soprano who mostly does pop now. She still does opera, but only every now and again. So I guess I love the sound.

Ugh, it was so overrated, Exile in Guyville… compared to what some other women were putting out around the same time.

Well, I certainly concede that Seether both was more fun then and holds up better.

Still think 6’1" is good tho

I guess I was thinking more of PJ Harvey (Rid of Me), Tori Amos (anything she did in the 90s, or ever), Bjork (same), Ruby/Leslie Rankine, Lush, Throwing Muses, Breeders… etc.

See. So much good stuff. I always got the feeling that Phair was attempting to ride the popular wave of women in rock music that came out of that era.

I understand that sentiment. Notice no one in this thread has yet to admit allegiance to Lisa Loeb.
