Music Banter - Unpopular Music Opinions

Unpopular music opinion: Queens Of The Stone Age, though it's kind of a revolving door project, is the greatest rock band of all time (at least of our time), and their best albums are the self-titled debut and "Lullabies To Paralyze."

all time? i mean they are good but, ALL TIME???

lullabies is the one that mildly disappointed me actually. i'd be hard pressed to pick a specific favourite album though. i think the disappointment i felt from lullabies made me think 'era' was a lot better than it was when it first came out but i still like it a lot. 'run pig run' is golden.

Unpopular opinion: Era Vulgaris was their best album.

i definitely shared that sentiment when it first came out hehehe

at this point i find myself listening to a collection of b-sides more than any of their proper albums though.

OK Computer is probably the most overrated album of all time.
OF ALL TIME IKO

-Bjork has a beautiful voice and uses it to it's maximum potential.
-Merriweather Post-Pavillion is nowhere near the best album released this year (that title goes to Hospice)
-I don't like a single Porcupine Tree song.

I half agree with this. She knows how to use her voice, but her voice is naturally rough and doesn't really fit with a lot of her songs. When she is doing that crazy heavy pop sound her voice fits amazingly well, but on some of her softer more ambient songs she can sound out of her element.

Same, I admire them and all (Well, mostly their drummer) but I can't see myself ever listening to them on my ipod, although they are on there. I cant get past how most of their songs have those really soft, slow parts. (Hopefully that makes sense....)

Not saying soft slow songs are bad, I just don't like the way they do it.

More opinions:
-Neil Purt isn't the best drummer.
Daniel Johhnston really isn't that sweet.
NOFX is really bad.
