Unpopular Music Opinions

scottsy · 08-08-2010, 12:15 PM

I think their last really great album was Zooropa... that's the last album of theirs I can listen to without disliking a single song... Pop was good but fairly patchy and unfinished sounding... but at least they were trying to dosomething different... ATYCLB, man, they just stopped trying and you can really hear it. There's just nothing exciting about it at all... so disappointing...

Ditto. They made great music. I'm not sure if their new stuff is quite up to par, however.

I've never liked U2.

Same. Not even in the late 80s/early 90s when they were "good", I just wasn't into their style of music.

I dislike them because Bono's vocals are a turnoff. also, their music isn't my kind of music, like you said, either.

Yeah, never been a U2 fan myself.

Bono's a raging twat but that's probably a better popular musical opinion thread fodder

I respect The Edge, he's one of the few guitarists who really know what to do with a delay pedal, but Bono makes me wish i was deaf.

I like Bono's singing.

All this ragging on U2.

It's unpopular music opinions btw.
