Unpopular views about music

I've never listened to The Beatles. I've considered it, but I feel like there's no way their music can possibly live up to how people describe it.

I can't stand the "NO MOMMY" part of Down with the Sickness. It's unnecessarily crude, extremely annoying, and completely ruins the tempo of the song. Who the hell would want to hear that?

That kills the flow of the song completely for me. On the other hand, The Night by Disturbed was my anthem for like 3 years.

I like Lana Del Rey's unreleased songs a lot more than anything she has on her albums. I know they're not as technically good, but I love the weirdness, how some of her songs can be bubblegum cutesy yet dark and fucked-up at the same time. Check out "Serial Killer," "Live or Die," and "Go-Go Dancer" to hear what I'm talking about.

I think Kanye West is actually really talented. Not talented enough to warrant his messiah complex but the results are hilarious in the same way anything CWC or Jace does. I personally think he lays it on extra thick nowadays on purpose just to keep himself relevant in today's world.

I'm not sure Raise Your Skinny Fists to the Heavens is that great of an album. Also, I think Nirvana is kind of bland sounding in retrospect.

I think Raise Your Skinny Fists is alright. It's one of the only post-rock albums I even enjoy. I think maybe it's because I grew up with it or something.

Why is Radiohead even popular. They're fucking boring. The only good thing about them is that Johnny Greenwood writes good soundtracks.

Just curious but what albums did you listen to?

I listened to Ok Computer and Kid A quite a few times. While they weren't terrible albums by any means, most of the songs just didn't resonate with me. When In Rainbows came out, I listened to it a few times with my roommates and enjoyed it, but once again, it failed to resonate with me. It's not that they're a band without merit, it's just that I don't understand where their immense popularity comes from.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but while I'm at work, I notice quite a few music videos on the projectors that are essentially nothing but lyrics with static images behind them. Sure, some of them have special effects or change up the picture every now and again, but it just seems incredibly lazy to me.

They're essentially just your average YouTube lyric video but with a bigger budget. And seeing one of those come after a pretty spectacular looking music video is incredibly jarring.

I guess it's fine if you're trying to make some artistic statement or whatever, but these kinds of music videos are becoming incredibly common.

I think it's a reaction to the popularity of lyric videos on YouTube - record companies now do their own, "big budget" lyric videos for every track an artist releases, while still making "traditional" videos for singles.
 
I like most of Phil Collin's work. And I own the entire Genesis discography, including the stuff with Peter Gabriel as the lead.

Jethro Tull didn't deserve to win the first heavy metal Grammy, but I like their stuff a lot more than I do Metallica's or Megadeth's.

Linkin Park is vastly overrated.

Shut the fuck up, Meghan Trainor. Not because you have a healthy body image, but because you can't sing for shit. And for the record, men don't want extra booty to squeeze at night, nor are you obligated to shake anything. Don't tell me how advertisements should work and if your song is "all about the bass" then there should be more than 15% bass in the goddamn song!

I personally have some nostalgic attachment to his stuff from Disney's Tarzan.

I don't actually know how unpopular this opinion is online, but my entire family thinks that The Police are one of the greatest bands of all time. I like some of their songs, but in my opinion most of their music sounds kind of same-y and mediocre.

I agree completely. I'm glad that the radio version (or at least the version they play on my local radio stations) cuts that part out. I didn't even know that was part of the song until I listened to the uncut version online.
