Repetitive music is the bane of my existence.

 

[Roger Rabbit]

Currently, besides the legends from the past that are still alive, Weird Al is the only good musician of recent years.

 

[Overcast]

I absolutely despise Country music in general. With the small exception of Taylor Swift.

I do like Evanessence for some reason. Even though I can see why people wouldn't like their music.

I can't stand music snobs who think they can set arbitrary rules on how to enjoy music.

Yes, I liked a song because I heard it used in a movie. Deal with it.

This so very much. I used to be, then I realized it's all subjective and people like different things. Blew my idiot mind and saved me a lot of BS.
Still won't date a Nickelback fan, though.

I dated a Nickelback fan. Never again.

 

[drtoboggan]

Never date anyone who's a Courtney Love fan. It's nature's way of saying "do not touch."

 

[Abethedemon]

I really like Crank Dat. It has a nice beat and you can dance to it.

The Rolling Stones and Nirvana are the most overrated bands of all time.

I actually liked Never Say Die (the last Black Sabbath album to feature the original lineup), even if it's musically inconsistent at times.

As much as I love Ozzy Osbourne's work with Black Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio (RIP) was clearly the best singer that Sabbath's ever had.

The Division Bell was a good Pink Floyd album. Certainly better than the album preceding it (A Momentary Lapse of Reason)

David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar were both great with Van Halen.

In Through the Out Door wasn't THAT bad...

Tommy is vastly overrated compared to the excellent Quadrophenia. Hell, even the aborted Lifehouse opera trumps Tommy.

Kenney Jones gets WAY more hate than he deserves for his tenure with The Who. Sure it was a hard act to replace Keith Moon, but considering the circumstances, Jones was the best choice at the time. And that's more than I can say compared to Pino Palladino replacing John "The Ox" Entwistle.

Axl Rose and Ted Nugent are the biggest douchebags in the American rock scene.

As much as I enjoy his solo career, Robert Plant should get over himself and tour/record with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Bonzo Jr.

Agree on Never Say Die and In Through the Out Door. Glad Dio got to do more stuff with Sabbath. Dio was made of awesome though. Rainbow sucked without him.

 

[Le Bateleur]

Christian and the Hedgehog Boys were never as good once Sonic and Shadow quit.

 

[telegramsamo]

Axl Rose and Ted Nugent are the biggest douchebags in the American rock scene.

That's not an unpopular opinion.

Here's some more

Animals and The Final Cut are two more great Pink Floyd albums that need more love.

Face Dances>Who Are You (yeah, I said it)

The Queen + Paul Rodgers/Adam Lambert collaborations are nothing more than glorified tribute bands that just happens to feature two of the original band members.

Concert bootlegs>>>>>>Official live albums (though Live at Leeds, Wings Over America, and How the West Was Won are excellent live albums)

While it would've been great to have him there, Bill Ward was clearly not up for the task of drumming with Black Sabbath in the 13 album and tour. (see: Tommy Cluefetos' awesome drum solo)

While he is a great composer, Hans Zimmer isn't the film score god that many make him out to be. John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and Michael Giacchino are far superior.

I'm really excited for The Endless River, even if it doesn't have Roger Waters

I enjoy Phil Collins (Genesis or otherwise)

Foo Fighters>>>Nirvana

So plenty Rhianna music came on at work this week… Its been awhile since I had to listen to so much of that dreaded performer.

I'm still pondering who's voice sounds more dry, hers, or Ke$ha's.

I'd much rather hear Ke$ha's music than Rihanna.

I don't understand whats so great about Micheal Jackson, Pink Floyd, The Beetles or many other famous bands / singers in history. The main reason I even listen to music is because of memories. Mainly video game or film soundtracks, I got some Elvis Presley on the side, but that's mainly due to my grandmother.

Also I hate Metallica.

 

[Overcast]

Speaking of video game soundtracks, I find that I somewhat prefer video game music in general to other kinds of music. I'm sure a lot of people would find that silly, but that's just how I feel.

Some of the most amazing music I've heard came from games like Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy IX, Dark Souls, ect. Of course, I enjoy the more traditional kind of music as much as the next guy, but the majority of my iPod consists of stuff I heard from games.

 

[Payday]

Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't that good.

 

[The Fair Lady]

Nah, I'm with you. There are some incredible vidya soundtracks out there.

 

[Konstantinos]

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.
