i agree with some of your points, but the tone is a little harsh..
as in any art form, with music one needs to learn first.. for writers, the first prerequisite is to read, being literate does not make you a writer.. same thing applies for music.. it helps if you can play an instrument - punk DIY ethos helps here - but when you hear a piece of astounding music, you learn much more than what books on music can offer you.. jim reid of the jesus and mary chain has said: "Guitars look good. That's all we really care about. They look good, they make good sounds. You don't really need to sit down and learn to play the fuckin' thing. That would be three or four years of your life wasted. You should be doing a gig the day you get your first guitar." now, that is something... |
Alright. Here goes another.
XITSJ>Xiu Xiu>XXL |
I've got one:
Cat Power is completely unlistenable. |
SC, do you listen to anything remotely like her? I prefer her to other trash that sounds similar.
It's all a matter of opinion, though. Keep in mind, my opinion is fact. |
Gooey, I am filing for divorce.

You mean caterwauling female vocalists with a barely rudimentary level of instrumental proficiency? Not too many. I do love some solo female songwriters, but Chan is a hack. I'm sorry. She hardly needs my support anyway, with all those people she has charmed somehow. |
Yeah, it is simplistic and talentless but she has a great voice. I like it.
Better than Nora Jones. |
I do find her less annoying than Kate Bush, Joanna Newsom or Bjork vocally.
The difference is, the other three are undeniably talented musicians. I still can't stand 'em, but they have something to appreciate on some level. To my ears, Cat Power does not. |
Very true. I concede.

I can't wait to tune into American Idol each week. Go Chris!
(note: I call this an unpopular music opinion, though i don't watch the show for the "musical" value of it, i.e. the actual songs that are being sung, but merely the talent of each contestant. so maybe that viewpoint is not quite as unpopular, though i'm sure even that is) |

My band has sounded WAY better since we all learned scales, it broadens our sound so much. However, some people are limited by the spectrum of music they are familiar with, even if they are great musicians |

I prefer "lawl" or "laugh".
