Unpopular music opinions - Page 2

*sdp* · 07-27-2014, 04:06 PM

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.

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

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.

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

*Slade* · 07-28-2014, 04:06 PM

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

*pennydreadful* · 07-28-2014, 11:05 PM

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

)

- "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

)

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.
