Unpopular Music Opinions (lyrics, indie, jazz, metal, punk)

I tried

I tried Kyuss , Monster Magnet , Sleep and a few others.

They all resulted in the same this.

The realisation i'd rather be listening to Space Ritual or Volume 4 instead. Or even the first couple of UFO albums.

Yeah, thats what gets me, if you like Black Sabbath and Hawkwind, I don't see why you wouldn't like stoner metal. :-/

That's what I thought but it just doesn't work for me.

I've noticed about the bands that I do listen to of any genre tend to be the originals , or the first wave of bands. After that I lose interest. I guess those bands don't offer me anything i've not heard before.

Well I like stoner metal (mainly the more doomy type) and love Kyuss, but to be honest, I don't feel that it's that strongly linked with psychedelia. I don't doubt that the movement in the beginning was inspired by psychedelia, but nowadays, stoner metal seems to stand on its own.

Point being that when I listen to Sahg, Sleep or Starchild, it doesn't make me think of the vintage psychedelic gems of 1967-72, Gong, Hawkwind or the Ozrics.

I think that could be why it doesn't work for me.
It's moved too far away from what I liked about it in the first place.

I always though doomy guitars sound more natural with muddy 70s production. Thats another thing thats always put me off , it's like they're trying too hard to recreate something.

"Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes" by Propagandhi (released in 2001) is one of the best punk albums I've ever heard.

sub-genres are ridiculous.

That I can agree with. I mean, at least when it's shit like "blackened death metal". Give me a ****ing break.

Unfortunately, good does not necessarily = relevant these days
