Unpopular music opinions

[FORD]

I just realized that song is canned Forever...

Good live ozzy vocals...

Ozzy almost sounds sober there. Must have been shortly after one of his rehab stints.

[Seshmeister]

We should load Madonna in a rocket and launch her into outer space. The 80's was a long time ago.

If Madonna isn't relevant any more, where does that leave Van Halen...?

[twonabomber]

Madonna's pop stuff became much better after she took singing lessons for the Evita flick.

that's gotta be an unpopular opinion...

[ThrillsNSpills]

And who the fuck is Justin Bieber, and why the fuck should I care 'bout him?


He's a kid who is good at collecting a bottle to the noggin on stage, and that in itself is damn fine entertainment.

actually you're right.

[Seshmeister]

Very odd thing with Madonna is she seems to be able to sing fine live when she's dancing but when she stops and talks to the crowd she's panting out of breath.

Funny that...

Not really, as I read somewhere that she breathes through her nose or at times not at all when she sings. Apparently she learned this mastery of breathing while taking Deep Throat lessons for a stag film before she got famous. At least that's how I remember the story. After all , it was the eighties.

[ThrillsNSpills]

The first two Def Leppard albums were their best work. Pyromania and Hysteria were total shite (intentional misspelling with a word commonly used in the DUMP)!

absolutely. Much more raw.


it's good to see others who see Metalica as shit. The only time I liked them is when I saw Cliff play, and their job on the Mercury tribute which tells me maybe they aren't bad players, just their writing is lame. Nah, they're bad players too.

No ripping on Gibson guitars ! I don't like em either but the tone we got from early albums was tremendous.

Whenever I hear Michael Stipe whine through losing my whiny religion I want to shoot things. Shut up and be in the fucking corner already.

Yes Jake E Lee is terribly underrated. How could he possibly follow the first 2 Oz solo albums, the tunes alone are bombproof.

However with regard to CC Deville at least live you might catch him being incontinent onstage from too much blow, and that carries entertainment value. (how the fuck did I want Action tonight get greenlighted for a song?) demographic 8 year olds?

and yes friends, Triumph was the template for the gayest van hagar songs. funny as hell dog puppet though.

Well either she can sing without breathing or she mimes, you decide.

Actually this probably does count as an unpopular music opinion at this site but I quite liked Ray of Light for some reason.

It's most likely a mixture of the two. She probably has an on/off switch for the backing track to kick in whenever she needs it, hidden someplace not readily apparent. And yes, she has a couple of OK tunes, thus proving the concept that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[Seshmeister]

Talking to people work big shows, standard practice these days is to have a backing track running in time from the desk and then fade it in as required. So a singer may mime the high parts or whatever. For example if Michael Jackson hadn't died he was planning to sing just 15 minutes out of his show and mime the rest.

[Golden AWe]

Ok here's one...

I like some cheesy songs by The Cult...like "Edie"

And we all know how it can sometimes not quite work out all that well...

When the Milli Vanilli thing happened it was a scandal. Now no one seems to give a shit.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

i was under the assumption that milvil references were a bannable offense here

[chefcraig]

I don't see why. After all, Dave did it himself for a performance on Mexican tv some years ago. It was for a beauty contest or some damned thing.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

dave has probably has thrown the "n-word" out there before also. the two are just as horrific and disgusting.

now we know why there was no live album

[Diamondjimi]

They should've gone down in a plane crash, Buddy Holly style.

Shit, they'd probably still be selling records today....

Nobody paid for a ticket. Big difference...

[Seshmeister]

If there is no band there it doesn't count.

[chefcraig]

I dunno about that, but he managed to pull it off without embarrassing himself.

[Seshmeister]

That's debatable...

[Dan]

RIP Milli Vanilli.

[chefcraig]

That's debatable...

Remember, it's an "Unpopular music opinions" thread.

[Unchainme]

There's another one.

I enjoy the beach boys, and respect them musically, however, Dave's version of "California Girls" is miles better than the orignal.

[Mushroom]

Cher at age 64 is more fuckable than Madonna at age 52 but Madonna at age 27 was more fuckable than Cher at age 39

Britney Spears captivates me but I have no idea what her music sounds like

Celine Dion is annoying no matter which way you slice it, so are the Dixie Chicks

The genius of Van Halen is underrated and their influence is underestimated

Whitney Houston was stupid to marry Bobby Brown, but Bobby Brown was smart to divorce Whitney

Garth Brooks ruined "Country Music"

Dwight Yokam / Pete Anderson duo were brilliant

After 30 years, these records still sound relevant:
- Def Leppard - High and Dry
- Scorpions - Animal Magnetism
- Van Halen - Women and Children First
- Journey - Escape
- ACDC - Back in Black

After 25 years, these records sound like shit:
- Anything by Great White
- Anything by Dokken
- Anything by Night Ranger
this list gets too long

Alice in Chains kicked ass

Sublime needs to be played at every beach party

Foo Fighters have some really bad ass tunes and some really awful tunes

Elton John has written a lot of good music, but mainly due to his incredible collaboration with Bernie Taupin

[Seshmeister]

Which parts of that post were on topic?

[Mushroom]

so you will take my post as Fact or full of popular opinions?

[Seshmeister]

About 95% of it, yes.

Celine Dion annoying? Controversial stuff indeed...

i know a lot of the tough guys here will disagree...but there ain't nothin' wrong with a good pop song.

I agree. I just can't think of any off hand.

I think the last good one I heard was "Since You've Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson from around 5 years ago, roughly the same time I stopped listening to the radio. Before that, maybe Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy".

[sadaist]

That's just short for popular song. A song that is intended to appeal to as many possible listeners, and only last a short time. No staying power. But that's not the goal. The goal is to be catchy, popular, sell a shit load of singles, and quickly burn out while hopefully launching (or keeping) a musician relevant.

[Dave's Bitch]

Bon Jovi kicks ass

[ThrillsNSpills]

Bill Bruford's Gradually Going Tornado and Feels Good to Me , along with the Bruford Tapes are the best albums on the planet.

even better than Bon Jovi.

funny thing is I listened to Waterloo for the first time 2 days ago since it was released and thought the instrumentation was great.
say insulting things it's ok.

[ThrillsNSpills]

Bon Jovi kicks ass

please I just ate.
