I don't have a cave to brood in but I do walk circles in my apartment when I think about how horrible the world is. I wish that was a joke.

I'm not a huge fan of them, either.

Frownland

You are both wrong.

Unpopular (probably) opinion: I prefer modern classical to the old stuff everyone who says they're into classical is supposed to like.

I'm a complete dilletante when it comes to classical music and I don't really listen to much. I own that "Classical Barbra" album by Streissand and think that it is very good, even though I dislike everything else she's done. I don't know if those songs are old enough to count as modern or old... but I like them a lot. Then there's that classical Tori Amos album from 2011, Night of Hunters. Love that one with a vengeance! I belive that is some quite old compositions that were rearranged for vocal by Amos.
Other than that, orchestral music from video games (Odin Sphere for example) and movies is what I can say I like.
I guess that means I agree somewhat with you, since I don't really like the old, usual suspects like Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Stravinsky, etcetera.

I just thought of a controversial opinion so here goes:

Coheed and Cambria are garbage - especially since pop punk riffs are lame and extra-especially because the singer is the worst thing to happen to my eardrums since tinnitus. I mean, why does he "sing" in such a hysterical manner? He's like a parody of a singer that doesn't exist. I can't believe he's for real.

The Mars Volta are garbage too, mostly because everything they do - instrumentally and vocally - is just immensely grating. Also, the lyrics are even more nonsensical than Anthony Kiedis' lyrics, which is an amazing accomplishment.

Maybe nobody around here likes them anyway, but there you go.

Oh, God. I just looked up their Welcome Home song that I hated so much back in middle school. The instrumentals in the intro sounded awesome and I couldn't figure out why I had bashed the song so much in the past. Then the vocals came...

Chula Vista

Deloused and Frances are brilliant.

Stand down sir.

You forgot to mention he also looks like a bridge troll.

Now you've gone too far.

Oasis > The Beatles. Come at me, bro.

Chula Vista

Ha ha ha. Without The Beatles Oasis would have never existed.

But on an even plain The Beatles smoke them on every level.

Put down the crack pipe.
