I'd honestly like this band Sheer Mag more if they'd dump their hamplanet, Trigglypuff-lookalike frontwoman who has the most grating voice imaginable.

4x4=12 by deadmau5 would have been a 10/10 album if it didn't have sofi's awful vocals on a few songs
the track itself is great, but fucking hell. i can hear how fat she is.

Bad and Boujee feels like a black song made for white people.

-I prefer Paul Di'Anno's vocals to Bruce Dickinson.
-The Red Hot Chili need to go away for awhile. They are completely overplayed on the radio on every kind of rock station under the sun, and I wouldn't mind that if they didn't continue to play songs that completely under utilize Flea.

I would enjoy FM radio more if the last rock station that hasn't been replaced by another fucking pop station, stopped taking requests. Same five overplayed songs over and over and over again.
To 97.1 KEGL, stop listening to your fans. They've only heard Green Day and RHCP their entire lives.

It's funny, even Stadium Arcadium had a few songs with really great basslines (Readymade and Torture Me come to mind), but I was the only person who actually listened to both discs of that shit anyway.
In general, radio is homogenized to fuck, and if you follow the money, it's really not hard to see why. Two stations in my area are owned by iHeart/Clear Channel and two others by Connoisseur Media. The Connoisseur stations, despite being on polar opposites of the spectrum (alt and top 40) shared 90% of their songs. You can't be both. Stop it.
I wish radio would go back to being locally owned. We traded flavor in for slickness, and I'm sick of hearing X Ambassadors. On no planet is that alternative.

I wouldn't really count Readymade as it is just a copy of Mountain Song by Jane's Addiction. At any rate I still agree with you. I wonder what their next album will be like. I found the drums on The Getaway to be mostly subdued, save for Dreams of a Samurai. I'm not sure that Danger Mouse should produce it, but I don't know that going back to Rick Rubin is a good idea either.

I just noticed the similarity. I like Mountain Song too. Dammit.
Rick Rubin has fucked up popular music. I hate his production style. The way he wants everything more and more compressed has put me off anything he touches.

When it comes to Metallica, I think Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning were superior to Master of Puppets.
Punk singers can't sing for shit, so I'm with you on that one.

God, you're right on the nose with what's wrong with alt radio today, half of it's just watered-down pop. Like, no, Lorde's not alternative, Imagine Dragons aren't alt, The Lumineers aren't alt, Fitz and the Tantrums are barely alt... it goes on.
And what gets me is it only ever seems to be pop music being passed off as alternative, and never the other way around. I haven't seen a fluke indie hit cross over into pop radio in my area probably since Of Monsters and Men blew up, and that was 6 years ago.

The people who put on the pop station know why they're there; they need forgettable, inoffensive background music, generally. Alternative wouldn't fly on that station because it's noisy and ugly and does weird shit.
Meanwhile, alt musicians have been going pop since The Velvet Underground. The people who alt stations cater to wanna feel special and quirky because they listen to Twenty One Pilots, who are 100% pop with some "quirky" genre hopping to seem alternative. There's nothing ugly about them.
It's far easier to pass off slightly quirky pop as alternative than it is to pass off real alternative as pop.

You know, as a huge guitarfag I do think Shake It Off would make a pretty cool intrumental Blues-Rock cover. I'm kind of tinkering away on a version where I substitute the singing with a slightly crunched lead guitar somewhere between Andy Timmons and Stevie Ray Vaughan (not that I'm anywhere near as good as they are). The pentatonic vocal melodies give a lot of opportunities for some Hendrix-esque double stops with legato grace notes. I'll get back to it when I have something concrete to show.
As for my current unpopular opinion, I actually unironically like Shooting Stars. Not so much the chorus, but how moody and atmospheric everything is leading up to it. Perhaps one day I'll do an instrumental cover of that too.

Marilyn Manson is really obnoxious, don't really get why his version of "fuck the system" is so appreciated.
New Radicals dissed him in You Get What You Give as a fake.
He also dresses like an edgy tryhard troon.
