Wow; if you were still a punk by the time The Cure started, you probably hadn’t got punk.

Falsetto is evil. It is pretty much literally defined as “singing so high that your voice sounds bad.” A couple of falsetto notes, as part of telling a story, can work. If you are singing more than a few notes of your song in falsetto, your song is automatically bad.

What about Nick Cave? He can tell a story, sure, and he’s good at it. His singing could remove rust from agricultural machinery.
I ought to add - brilliantly. As opposed to Bob Dylan, who could remove agricultural machinery and leave little piles of rust - awfully.

Humans have used static rhythms to induce trances since we first started making music, differing tempos and harmonies disrupt that. Those appeal more to the intellect.

I don’t know if ya’ll’re ready for this, but uh, I find Phil Collins’ music to be interesting musically & lyrically, to span a respectable swath of the pop/rock spectrum, to evoke emotion that is not treacly and to be fun.
I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. It was too artsy, too intellectual…

Not all Phil Collins music is “You’ll be in my Heart”. But I don’t know if I can ever forgive him for the fact that “You’ll be in my Heart” is.

Pearl Jam was a better band when it was called Mother Love Bone, but they still sucked.

I beg to differ. He also copied some Stravinsky and Wagner.

What is an “unpopular music opinion” depends on your audience, no? For example I absolutely despise, loathe, detest Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. Worst song ever.
That would get me hated in some quarters…
Nirvana I will give credit for having catchy hooks but they always come off sounding like a heavy metal REM to me and just not my thing.
Pearl Jam was just so overplayed on the radio I never felt the need to buy CD even though I kinda liked them.
