Yes, this is of course what I was looking for.

Kurt Cobain is a good songwriter.

Dimebag darrel is a good guitarist, But not nearly the god everyone has raised him to be.

Led zeppelin is a great band.

Sid Barret is more enjoyable than David Gilmour. Gilmour is still a great guitarist though.


can think of anything else right now, but ill be back to tell more.

boo boo

You think Amnesiac is a dud but not Pablo Honey?

Wtf man wtf man wtf man wtf.

I hold all the Radiohead albums except Pablo in very high regard. And Amnesiac was my first Radiohead album so it has a very special place for me, I never understood how people could be in love with Kid A but not Amnesiac, or vice versa.

Sublime is a mediocre band at best.
The Who are overrated.
'Since I Left You' by The Avalanches isn't that great of an album and I prefer Girl Talk.
Public Image Ltd. will always be better than the Sex Pistols.
Jeff Mangum will never make another album.
Magnetic Fields aren't as great as they're cracked up to be and 69 Love Songs is only 2/3 brilliant.
Wilco is immensely overrated, especially Yankee Foxtrot Hotel.
Most metal is boring.
Being a sell-out isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I find a lot of Funk, R&B, Soul, Gospel and Rap to be boring and I'm afraid I might be racist but then I realize I love the blues and jazz, but then realize that's such a typical white-boy thing to like.
I think the straight-edge movement is terrible musically and ideologically and I think Ian MacKaye is an ass for even thinking of it.

One thing I dislike about these threads is when they become platforms for writing off whole genres of music, yeah sometimes these unpopular opinions are just ignorant.

But straight edge is a toughie, I'm not a fan, but that mostly has to do with the idealogies behind it which seems to be more important than the actual movement, straight edgers are probably the most obnoxious music community I can think of. That being said I think Minor Threat were a solid band, they WERE the originals, but jeez, their studio discography is only 50 minutes of music, and it's not THE best 50 minutes of music I've ever heard in my life and yet their popularity overshadows a lot of superior and more prolific bands.

Oh for sure, I love Minor Threat and Fugazi as well, but I'm just saying that I feel like the ideology itself, at least to me, is sort of a reactionary, counter-productive thing. Also I will stick by my metal statement, all my friends in high school were metal-heads and I listened to a lot of metal as a result and am not impressed in the slightest. I always found it strange I was there friend since I was so much more a fan of punk.

+81

Yes, Syd Barrett is.

Fugazi aren't really a straight edge band are they? I don't think so, and they're way better than Minor Threat.

There's only a few genres that I really can't find anything I like about. Pop country, screamo, crunk, christian rock, etc. Basically the stuff everyone can agree on.

I enjoy metal but mostly the proto metal/british new wave stuff, also some thrash metal and some of the prog/experiemental metal. There's many subgenres I'm not familiar enough with.

I'm a bit of a retro snob because I think that it's natural for popular genres to simply tire out over time as more and more bands take a whack at it. I think since the late 90s metal has gotten too generic and overpopulated, though there are still fine bands like Mastodon. Punk IMO had it's peak in the early mid 80s and just went down after that. Again I blame oversaturation and the fact that many of the things that can be done with the genre has already been done. Not to say there is no help for metal and punk to improve in the future, I believe they will.

Except for the lame novelities, genres don't die. They just have periods where they are less than inspired.

I think hip hop still has a lot of untapped potential and you just have to look past the mainstream to find it.

these aren't really unpopular opinions
(they are also the correct ones)

boo boo

Sublime are decent, not crazy about them but I don't get why they are so hated either.
