Arnold Schoenberg’s music is frequently fun to listen to. :smile:

That’s not a flute; that’s something that sounds good.

October Rust is my favorite album. #UnpopularMusicOpinionHour

This is a big problem. I mean, if I wanted to make a list of my opinions that just went against popular opinion, it would be long, extremely uninteresting, and full of “Well-known-band is not that good.” If I wanted to make a list of my opinions that very few people have it would be full of things like, “Song-you-probably-haven’t-heard is the best song on album-you-probably-haven’t-heard.”

I guess I’m understanding “unpopular” to mean “something that could make you a pariah / get you challenged to a duel.” Like U2’s best album was Zooropa, or The Velvet Underground was better during the Doug Yule years, or the greatest song to ever come out of the Beatles or the member’s solo careers was Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime.

Please note, those are all provided as examples and do not reflect the opinions of the author.

Tous les palmiers (Beau Dommage) was hugely popular in la Francophonie, and surprisingly popular with Anglo Quebeckers at least. Early Genesis (Peter Gabriel days), Gentle Giant and King Crimson were all guaranteed sold-out shows in Montreal in my days there.

Led Zeppelin isn’t so much as can’t stand as have heard it so damn often I don’t want to hear anything from the first 4 albums ever again and anything else is okay infrequently.

Pink Floyd is it bad that I really like the early Syd Barrett era stuff but have come to feel meh about the later stuff and never really had that much liking for the post Roger Waters stuff.

I saw them live and left halfway through.

It’s not that the Who suck it’s just that they are very boring and never did anything innovative or interesting enough to warrant the attention they got.

David Bowie mostly ruined David Bowie’s greatest songs.

And, probably the most unpopular music opinion I could possibly state: It’s okay that other people don’t have the same taste in music as me, I’m not more right than they are.

Radiohead is incredibly vastly way overrated.
Bruce Springsteen is terrible.
I don’t know why anyone would claim to like Tom Waits.

I call this

Guilty Pleasures “I really like Yanni”

and Reverse Guilty Pleasures “Everything the Stones did before Goats Head Soup sucks”

Truthfully I share your understanding of “unpopular”, but I don’t have any opinions regarding music that are likely to get me challenged to a duel or punched in the face by a lover of any particular band. An uncle of mine used to respond to different opinions with, “Well, that’s why they make chocolate and vanilla.” It’s become my philosophy at least in part because people like me are the reason Neapolitan ice cream was invented. And I feel my own musical tastes are too out there to look down on anyone else’s.

Maybe that’s why I’d absolutely love a list of “Song-you-probably-haven’t-heard is the best song on album-you-probably-haven’t-heard”.

Forget the Group of Seven, Gyo-zo (AKA Ron Spickett) is the greatest Canadian artist!
