Unpopular music opinions

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

I have no idea what Robert Plant is like as a person, but there is no shortage of celebrities who are not good people after all. Take Lance Armstrong, once a hero (and who turned out not to be).

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

And on topic, I can't stand Bruce Springsteen. He shouts rather than sings his songs-and he's not the spokesman for the working classes that he is purported to be.

I'd argue Jimmy Page was far worse a human being than Plant. Than most people, really. Lest we forget, in the early 70s he had his "people" kidnap a 14 year old girl under threat of death, then kept her locked away while he did completely illegal sex stuff with her. But, years later the girl admitted she got off on the whole thing, so I guess that makes it okay? (The girl, Lori Mattix, confirmed that the events took place, but that she found it "Wild" and "Romantic".)

But yeah, "Stairway" is a stone groove, so... yeah, only the art matters. Hah, yeah.

I'm really baffled that nothing ever came of that, honestly. Far as I know, the guy's not even registered as a sex offender, despite the fact that's about as "sex offender"y as it gets. Ah well.

'Atom Heart Mother' is one of Pink Floyd's best Albums.

'Atom Heart Mother Suite' from the same album is one Pink Floyd's best Songs.

[Leo656]

I like AFI's post-2000 stuff better than their early stuff.

(As a general rule of thumb, you know a band is good when every single record they make, everyone who liked them a year ago suddenly hates them, for not doing the exact same record again. And they're not just good, they're f*cking immaculate.)

I think Emilie Autumn has some amazing music. I mean she can sing, play the electric violin, harpsichord, viola, and (i believe) piano. Not all at once though, but still. Oh also she's a poet, has written a novel, which i need to find and read, and has starred in The Devil's Carnival

[Leo656]

I like New Found Glory and I don't give a sh*t.

[Storm Eagle]

I like country music.

[pennydreadful]

Women in metal can rock just as hard as the guys - if not harder.

[Metroid]

I like the new Miley Cyrus, she taught us to not fit in and don't care about what other people look at us as, plus her music is great as well

I agree.

I actually like a lot of today's pop...

I only really like the song "Smooth Criminal" from Michael Jackson, I don't really care for his other stuff.

Hasn't that been done a million times already??

I think she's just a drugged out loser...course I used to be in love with her, you know? Back when she had hair...and was on the disney channel

"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.

I like the songs, but not particularly hot on the versions that ended up on the album.
The leaks were way better, the final versions are all clogged up with additional bells and whistles that ended up detracting from the songs, most notably the guitars pasted onto the title track, IRS and the solo in Riad.

I hate modern hardcore music and that tough guy atmosphere that comes along with it.

Yeah, I've heard as much from other cats. Not gonna lie, I haven't heard as much of the leaked versions as I have the album versions, so my basis for comparison is minimal, but I've heard people say the production was a little off on the album itself. My biggest disappointment, though, is that the long-"confirmed" ancient track "Shadow Of Your Love" didn't make the final cut for whatever reason. I love that song, and the versions on the "Hollywood Rose" CD are adequate, but I'd love a fully-produced modern version of it, rather than just Gilby Clarke remixing demo tracks from 1985. I mean, I know "complete" versions are floating around on the internet, but I like Axl, I'd rather pay him for his work.

Here's one that's probably only true for me: My favorite Bon Jovi album is "Blaze of Glory". I like the rest just fine but that one's my sentimental favorite ever since I was 8.

[Walkabout]

The "Live From The Jungle" EP contains a version of Shadow Of Your Love from the NY Ritz in 88- pretty sure there was a single that had the GNR studio version back in the day too, it's definitely around.

[Gunpowder]

I never liked the Beatles, and I agree that Slipknot is garbage.

[pandaderek]

I hate that radio stations are nationally owned. It's the reason there's lack of diversity in music. All the songs on the radio sound the same. It's ********!

[Wesley]

U2 are overrated.

I dislike it when radio stations play the same crap over and over and..... A lot of potentially good songs eventually start to sound like utter crap to me after being replayed 3-6 times a day either by the same station or by flipping through various stations.

Thankful for my playlists on Youtube.
