Your Most Controversial Music Opinions

[hownos]

I wasn't a big Whitney Houston fan. A great voice but it wasn't for me.

[Captain Steel]

Bubblegum, Blue Grass, Rockabilly, and Steel Drum (Pan or Caribbean Music) are the best types of music.

I think 99% of the music from my lifetime is shit - for so many reasons, and I've posted dozens of reasons why on my music threads.

[Captain Steel]

Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are not good singers.
(Good song writers and musicians, sure, but not good singers. Is this opinion even controversial?)

(Good song writers and musicians, sure, but not good singers. Is this opinion even controversial?)For Dylan, at least, not controversial.

Three of my favorite artists - Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen can't really sing.

For a very long time I thought the 1990s was a crap decade for music. While I still don't think it was as good (as a whole) as the previous decades, I think it was probably better than 2000 forward (again, as a whole).

The last decent decade for music.

I think "Weird Al" Yankovic should be inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

Fight me. Come at me, bro.

And his predecessor, Alan Sherman should be included in the Folk Music Hall of Fame!

[Austruck]

YES. So many influences should be recognized more!

[hownos]

Music today has no genres.

[ScannerDarkly]

Despite what anyone thinks of Courtney Love, I think Hole is better than Nirvana.

Nirvana sometimes sounded very commercial and Hole is more grunge

[crumbsroom]

Bob Dylan has a legitimately great voice.

[Mr Minio]

Hip hop music is [redacted]

Oh and rock n roll is not dead like everyone goes on about.

Ted Nugent = No talent.

[Jeff]

Hanson's Mmmbop is a fantastic toe tapper!!

[KeyserCorleone]

Hanson's Mmmbop is a fantastic toe tapper!!

Very skillful for a song with scatting for a chorus.

OK: best nu metal album... SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!

[crumbsroom]

Controversial opinion: Jack Bruce was the greatest member of Cream

[crumbsroom]

Ted Nugent = No talent.


I don't like him personally, but he definitely has talent.

Stranglehold is also a beast.

[Robert the List]

My favourite singer is the most gifted human being of the last 100 years.

[Captain Steel]

Lou Reed's double album "Metal Machine Music" was a very cruel practical joke.

[ueno_station54]

Lou Reed's double album "Metal Machine Music" was a very cruel practical joke.
it's easily in my top 10 favourite albums but i don't know which one of us has the more controversial opinion on it lol.

[crumbsroom]

My controversial opinion is, that without ever having even heard it, I already know Metal Machine Music is great.

[crumbsroom]

Greg Ginn > Eric Clapton

[crumbsroom]

Carlos Santana > Greg Ginn

[ScannerDarkly]

Carlos Santana > Greg Ginn

Never having heard of Greg Ginn i still agree with this hierarchy.


Carlos Santana > anybody > anybody > anybody > anybody > Ect... > Eric Clapton

The guitarist for Black Flag. Who is great.


But certainly no Carlos Santana.

[crumbsroom]

I'm trying to think of a single great guitarist that I like less than Eric Clapton, even by just a little bit, and I'm drawing blanks.


And, I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong. And I'm sure one of these days a light will go on and I'll realize how dumb I've been.



But, until then, Eric Clapton is the most boring.

[crumbsroom]

Also, guitars suck.

[ueno_station54]

the best Yes album is either Talk or The Ladder

[StuSmallz]

Lou Reed's double album "Metal Machine Music" was a very cruel practical joke.Heh, even crueler than Lulu?

[ScannerDarkly]

How dare you.

[crumbsroom]

I was going to violently disagree, but then I couldn't remember the name of the album I like and think is so much better, so I should probably just drop it.

[crumbsroom]

How dare you.


I like guitars a lot. Just less than everything else.

[mrblond]

On Van Halen:

Sammy Hagar era is more interesting and the released memorable songs of this period are three times more than the earlier one.
Moreover, the albums OU812 (1988) and Balance (1995) are the only ones I would consider for Hard Rock genre All Time Top 100 LPs.

Elvis Presley was nothing but an overweight Karaoke singer who mostly sang other people's songs.

Nope, you aren't wrong. Most overrated musician of all time.

Guitars are awesome, though.

Music today has no genres.

Disagree, but there is a massive post-genre movement going on (which I happen to enjoy quite a bit) that is blending many genres together. On the other side of the coin, I would argue that genres have become far too granular these days, with various genres split down into dozens of sub-genres, some with very little distinction from the others.

I can't stand The Doors, Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, and The White Stripes.

[John McClane]

I can't stand The Doors, Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, and The White Stripes.:eek:

i use a lot of those guys stuff for bench marking equipment because the mix is so good. is it a controversial opinion to say i care more about the mix these days than the ******** playing the music?

[Sedai]

I should add that I think they are good at what they do (like Dylan), but I just dislike the music or in the cage of Rage, a variety of other reasons as well. Mostly just a matter of taste here.

I had never heard of it. Put it on this morning. Lasted about three minutes. Whatever. I guess it means something to someone. The world is weird sometimes.

[KeyserCorleone]

I heard a couple tracks from the panned Led Zeppelin II cover album by Train of all people.


I'M SORRY, BUT THIS IS NOT THEIR WORST WORK. Maybe they shouldn't have tried to cover Led Zppelin, but I greatly prefer this over their original tripe.

[ynwtf]

I have never enjoyed Carlos Santana. Ever.
Back when he released music with Rob Thomas and Michelle Branch just pissed me off and he lost any respect I could have salvaged. And I honestly have no idea why I do not like him as I hardly know his work. But I hate both Rob Thomas and Michelle Branch and their quality of music, so to see a name like Santana (regardless of my stylistic preferences), just hit me wrong.

[ynwtf]

also, yes. i am becoming a sith lord it seems.
