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 |

me too. Billy Corgan was an amazing guitarist I find too bad he blew it in Machina (1). You're only a true fan of the Pumpkins if you download Machina 2, that is a hell of a lot better Death From Above 1979 are a very good band |

Don't worry....I can't argue with that. |
I don't see how Sister is better than Daydream Nation
OK Computer is NOT the greatest album ever (but it is in no way shit) Interpol do not sound exactly like Joy Division I don't see the big deal with Bright Eyes |
Darkthrone rulz, srsly
|
The House Of Love had some decent songs
Ashtray Navigations should sell more records Iron Maiden were perfect in their prime Prog rock wasn't all bad music but there was great stuff in there too Schneider Tm's cover of 'There is Light That Never Goes Out' is better than the original. Kid 606 is ok but generally really overrated. Gal Costa's records are better than Os Mutantes's. Public Enemy's Fear Of A Black Planet is better than It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us A Back. Sleater Kinney are annoying. Bikini Kill shit all over Le Tigre. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and The Beach Boys are not the only people who made music in the sixties, and in fact they suck. The Stone Roses have to be one of the most overrated bands in the history of music. Xiu Xiu, Animal Collective, Explosons In The Sky and Mono make me yawn. Sonic Nurse is mostly a dull record. Kazuki Tomokawa Izo is one of the best singers to ever grace this planet with his presence and voice. Wilco only made one good album. Nico and Maureen Tucker's records are better than Lou Reed's and John Cale's. Devendra Banhart should be shot dead in a hippie commune. Christian Marclay should produce the next Sonic Youth record. The Books are a great band. |
Jesus and Mary Chain suck.
|
The first 2 My Chemical Romance albums are brilliant
The Spice Girls were much better than Girls Aloud and the Sugababes The Fall are unlistenable I dig System of a Down - especially the debut and Toxicity Yeah Post-Syd Barrett Floyd albums rock too, that is up until The Wall Early BeeGees records were quite amazing I generally Hate Metal American Punk was far more intresting than British Punk ....Whilst i'm on Punk the Pistols were a load of...ummm BOLLOCKS Queen are hugely overrated |

Fuck off. The first 2 green day LPs are classic. As for unpopular music opinions I don't like the following bands /people. The doors The beatles The rolling stones David Bowie Pink floyd (Or any ogf that prog stuff for that matter) blah, blah, blah anything before 1975 sucks for me pretty much, except some rockabilly. |

You're right, they do however sound just like my dad is dead. |
