Unpopular music opinions
 

There's one for tv/movies, so I thought about making one for music.

Where to begin:

- Pearl Jam are boring as hell. Worst of the major Grunge bands. Don't care much for Nirvana either. Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots were the best grunge bands back in the day, imo.

- Metallica's best album is Kill 'Em All.

- Opeth are boring. Don't see what's so great about them.

- Melodic Death Metal is pretty meh as a whole. I like a bit of Dark Tranquillity here and there and the first Children of Bodom albums, but other than that, meh? Gimme straight up death Metal any day.

- Obituary and Decide are average bands. Death and Morbid Angel were the best ones from the Florida Death Metal scene from the 80s.

- Guns 'N' Roses' sappy ballads are terrible. I only like their rocking tunes.

- I liked Chinese Democracy.

- AC/DC, while I certainly don't hate them, they're repetitive as hell. Dunno why so many people praise them. Most of their songs with Brian Johnson sound the same. Even themselves admit they aren't great musicians overall.

- Nightclub music such as House, Techno, etc. is all garbage and sounds the same to me. Dunno how people can listen to that trash unless they're drunk or high. I can dig some Electronic, though.

- I respect them and all, but never really cared for The Rolling Stones much.

- Rage Against The Machine are a ridiculous band. "raw raw fight the powaw!"... no thanks.

- Bands like The Doors, Eagles, The Monkees, America and CCR only had a few good songs. Couldn't care less for the rest of their stuff.

- George Harrison was the best Beatle. George > Paul > John > Ringo.

- Slipknot are garbage. Hell, Nu Metal sucks for the most part.

- Don't like Queen much. Yes, I've said that.

Most pop acts get a lot of unnecessary hate, I think. It's just music.

Bohemian Rhapsody feels like a chore to sit through and is not catchy to me.

That's exactly why they're only played in clubs, bruh.

Pop acts are useful for background music you don't pay much attention to, so I cant' say I hate them. Their point is being catchy. If I'm searching for music, I'll just avoid them.

I don't care much for Bohemian Rhapsody either, but man, if there's a song I don't like at all is Stairway to Heaven, despite liking Led Zeppelin a lot myself. Can't stand Breaking the Law by Judas Priest either despite loving the band.

EDIT: Yes, but I'm referring to people who actually put such music(techno, dance, etc) in their music players and listen to it sober while riding the train or walking down the street.

IMO Chinese Democracy was far and away better than both Use Your Illusion Albums.

Hotel California is way over played here.

Can't stand Prince

(May not be "unpopular music opinions" but they're mine.)

Michael Jackson has never impressed me in a fascinating way. Neither as an artist, nor as a person !

I actually enjoy Nickelback.

I don't like the Beatles or Michael Jackson, or Elvis.

Queen are overplayed.

I like a lot of pop music, but I can't stand Justin Bieber. Ugh. I do like Fifth Harmony though and can't wait to get their album when it comes out.

I find The Rolling Stones to be the most overrated band in history.

I also didn't care for U2 either.

Your favorite band is crap.
Yes that one.

It's less a matter of "your favorite band" so much as a band that some people treat as deities (like The Beatles or U2).

I was alright. II was kinda crappy, imo.

Same. Don't like U2 at all.

Don't hate on Iron Maiden, man :(

I have a rule against people insulting Pink floyd and Led Zeppelin.:(

I like the nu-metal genre, it gets too much hate and there's plenty of great nu-metal bands/songs.

These are all fairly popular opinions.

Something unpopular?

- I dont like rapsongs where you can understand absolutly nothing (for me Most of them)
- I cant stand folk songs
- music from ACDC make me want to scratch my ears of

A picture I commissioned on DeviantArt. Characters are all mine and have no relationship to the TMNT or any other series.

I hate Rap music. With a passion.

There's a difference between unpopular opinions and your opinion. Many people don't like Rap, in fact no one in the Metal community usually enjoys rap and viceversa, that doesn't mean it's an unpopular opinion. An unpopular opinion would be "I don't like 'Critically Acclaimed Musician'"

- I think that Staind and Linkin Park are criminally underrated bands.

How are those unpopular opinions? They are extremely popular bands, especially Linkin Park. You can say "Linkin Park's new albums are underrated" or "LP is underrated by music snobs", but you can't call multi-platinum bands as popular as LP and even Staind underrated.

Sorry, I meant that they're better bands then people give them credit for. Also, I think that Deftones' self-titled album is one of their best.

That is a complete lie. Metal & hip-hop have fused together to great success many times in the last 25 years or so. & hardcore/grindcore heads are usually especially big fans of underground hip-hop...

The only metalheads that make a point to share their dislike for rap are little kids and old men.

That's a bit of an exaggeration and could apply to fans of any genre, really. You could say that reggae fans usually dislike, let's say, Grunge rock and vice-versa, per example.

Anyway, from my experience, metalheads tend to like grunge rock and classical music a lot. But ofc I've met ones that like hip-hop, reggae, etc. as well.

I think Bob Dylan sings rather well. Even today.

This! So much, this. I despise rap and live in an area where people play the piss out of it.

My own opinions: I think Metallica sucks and the only album they did that was good Dave Mustaine wrote all the music for (Kill 'em All.)

I also only listen to metal, mostly thrash, which isn't an unpopular opinion but around here, makes me a musical mutant. Mine are kinda lame, sorry.

Oh yeah, same for me. Creed, also.

CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHER. *tasty lick*

That's quite weird for a thrash metal fan to dislike Metallica.

Same here. I also still like to listen to Korn occasionally.

Clown is one of my favorite songs by them.

Big metalheads dislike Metallica more than anyone else. Although I dunno how he could not enjoy their first 4 albums being a big thrash fan as he claims to be. Metallica aren't really my thing either, but albums like Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning don't grow on trees.

Those first four are good but Kill 'em All is the only one I went nuts over. That said, they are a big part of Thrash history and really helped the genre but I just can't stand them.

Led Zeppelin are shite and Robert Plant is a bumhole. I should know, I used to live by him. Oh, people will tell you he's a nice guy, but don't believe a word of it. He's always been a massive, gaping bumhole to me, ever since I got drunk and insisted on calling him "Uncle Bob".

Pink Floyd are bobbins too, apart from "Bike".

Seems this is an unpopular opinion on these boards: I love rap. Well, not the crap that usually is on the radio nowdays.

Elvis Presley is overrated.

This. 100% this. I don't see why people like him so much.

To each their own.

- The people who sing disney songs are really great and it´s a shame
that sometimes we don´t even get the chance to see them on concerts.

- Will Smith can make real good songs
("Men in Black" is such a cool song :D)

- "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" by Michel Teló is stupid
(many people don´t know what the song is about but they just love it. He could aso sing about s**t and they wouldn´t know :P)

As a native Portuguese speaker I can tell you that you're not missing on anything by not understanding the lyrics. It's basically about dancing.

I like "dark", sad, and borderline depressing songs. I'm a big fan of melancholy in anything. Not exclusively, mind you, but I think it's important to feel things. Like, everyone likes "Welcome to the Jungle", and that's great, but most days, I'd rather listen to "Estranged".

"Chinese Democracy" was also great. I think there's just like one song on that record I don't like and always skip ("Sorry"), which is an astronomically high batting average for any record. "Shackler's Revenge" was f*cking brilliant. I think that's the most aggressive thing they ever produced. The whole record is like something from another era where "albums" meant more than "singles" and I think that hurt it commercially. It's not a "this is a great song for radio" album, but it IS an "Every song on the record is great" kind of album. I get chills when everything hits a crescendo during "Madagascar". Just a really underrated record in the modern "write songs for the radio" era.
