It's all a matter of perspective.

Sounds like you've been humbled. However, the machine marches on. Either drop out or own your inner-prick (feminist interpretation aside).

I don't really have unpopular opinions. I keep them mostly for the internet, 'cause I like challenges, they never happen, and I am too apathetic, distracted by other things to really care.

i love yes.

demonrail666 06.16.2009 05:40 PM

Yes sort of piss me off for nabbing one of the best band names ever and completely fucking it by making boring music.

Satan 06.16.2009 05:42 PM

they have the best band logo ever too

i smoke a lot of weed otherwise they probably would bore me

demonrail666 06.16.2009 05:46 PM

Yeah, their logo is brilliant, and their album covers.

They should've called themselves something rubbish though, like The Golden Pyramids. They don't deserve a name as good as Yes.

dirty bunny 06.16.2009 05:51 PM

I have to confess I'm not sure what constitutes "popular" musical opinions anymore. I feel pretty out of the loop.

noisereductions 06.16.2009 08:13 PM

how bout this... (for the most part) the Rolling Stones recorded silly crap.

Shifty Prophet 06.16.2009 08:38 PM

Thing about Yes is the irony isn't it? They are supposed to make very complex and progreesive music that will stimulate your senses and appease all the audiophiles of proper musical taste.

Yet, they ended up sounding redundant and boring much of the time.

Sonic Youth 37 06.16.2009 08:42 PM

I don't like Soundgarden.
I don't like Rush.
I enjoy The Sounds and The Libertines.
I can't listen to SYR 5 or In The Fishtank

SuperCreep 06.16.2009 08:43 PM

^are those all that unpopular?

automatic bzooty 06.16.2009 08:44 PM

Rush are one of the worst bands ever.

(Of course I can say this with authority, as I have heard every band EVER. Psh.)

Satan 06.16.2009 08:45 PM

rush = SUCK

Shifty Prophet 06.16.2009 08:48 PM

I'm not sure if the Yes comments are unpopular here, but they would be with lots of people I run into at shows and record stores.

SuperCreep 06.16.2009 08:48 PM

I love Rush, but I'm used to all the backlash that comes with being a Rush fan. oh well.

In The Fishtank is pretty bad. I talked to Thurston about it like a month after it came out, and I got the impression from him that he was pretty unhappy with out it turned out.

SYR5 is kind of like... but it took me 8 years!

What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

automatic bzooty 06.16.2009 08:50 PM

I know him, and he does!

Satan 06.16.2009 08:51 PM

geddy lee is the worst part of rush

i'm listening to tales from topographic oceans (yes)
there are so many cool noises on this

Well, you're my fact checking cuz.

Shifty Prophet 06.16.2009 08:52 PM

Thats the killer about Yes for me, right when your liking something they are doing they go and tighten the shit a hundredfold and prog into oblivion

Satan 06.16.2009 08:55 PM

haaha i know exactly what you're talking about
they just did it (on the revealing science of god)

and they just took it way down again which is the best part

Shifty Prophet 06.16.2009 08:56 PM

I rest my case....

DUDE! Let's focus on the Quasars in the mist, alright?

automatic bzooty 06.16.2009 09:07 PM

The kaiser has a cyst. O:

Sonic Youth 37 06.16.2009 09:08 PM

I get violent when I'm fucked up.

(I DEED EET wrong I think.)

automatic bzooty 06.16.2009 09:11 PM

I get silent when I'm drugged up.

Want excitement! Don't get none! I GO WIIIIIIIIIIIIILD.

Sonic Youth 37 06.16.2009 09:17 PM

I've never listened to The Fall.

SuperCreep 06.16.2009 09:33 PM

You should remedy that.

Sonic Youth 37 06.16.2009 09:36 PM

I have Hex Enduction and a few more of their albums on my external drive, I've just listened to them. Perhaps I will someday.

The point of the game is to just be offensive to those here but be as 'real' about it as you can. We all love to offend and be offended for our own dubious reasons. Ego credit is exchanged.

Better to go with non-music opinions like record collecting is a childish waste of money and makes you look like a twat to any reasonable person that might see it.

Satan 06.16.2009 10:23 PM

someone's got their knickers in a twist...

pbradley 06.16.2009 10:39 PM

I don't think you know me well enough to assume that.

Because you're wrong. I'm just playing along.

Death & the Maiden 06.16.2009 10:54 PM

Paul Di'Anno was a better Iron Maiden vocalist than Bruce Dickinson.
Tetsu was the best Malice Mizer vocalist, much better than Gackt and Klaha. And MM were always much better when they played their guitars than when they used harpsichords and choirs and pipe organs etc.

demonrail666 06.17.2009 12:26 AM

The chances of a Rock record being enhanced by the addition of a keyboardist is so slight that if I find out a band I've not yet heard has one, I'll almost always write them off.

Everyneurotic 06.17.2009 12:26 AM

if anyone wants to discuss yes, i mean for real, please, let me know where the thread is and i'll be there.

pretty much all my opinions are unpopular but they are mine.

viewtiful_alan 06.17.2009 12:38 AM

Journey are fucking awful, Steve Perry can go fuck a brillo pad.
Lil Wayne is the biggest genuine rock star since Kurt Cobain

Satan 06.17.2009 12:40 AM

i don't know anyone who doesn't hate journey with a violent passion

viewtiful_alan 06.17.2009 12:41 AM

Really? REALLY?!! Maybe I SHOULD move to hell, at least the music taste is better there.
