Unpopular music opinions

[Mr Badguy]

Post yours here.

I'll start.

Metallica and U2 both suck, and I don't "get" either of them. Never have. Metallica are a bunch of phoneys and U2 never made a decent record.

[GreenBayLA]

I prefer Diver Down to 1984.
I prefer Rock in a Hard Place to Done With Mirrors.
I don't like The Clash, Elvis Costello or Patti Smith. I didn't like em then and I haven't come to appreciate them over time. But Justin Bieber is the shit!

[SilvioDante]

I hate the Doors.
Jimi Hendrix is the most over rated guitarist of all time.
I think the Rolling Stones are over rated.
Punk music sucks.
Nirvana sucks.
I hate modern metal.

[sadaist]

Unpopular huh? OK.

I think Ratt is a better band than Guns & Roses.

I Don't like anything about Zakk Wylde.

1984 is my favorite Van Halen album.

I really like Def Leppards Hysteria...their 2nd best in my opinion behind Pyromania.

I really only liked Dio's first two solo albums....yet I hate Vivian Campbell.

And I've always wanted to fuck Cindi Lauper.

I think U2 are actually better than Metallica and I'm not a fan of U2.

Metallica to me are complete shit. I don't get it from any angle. Their songs are mindless shitty versions of the kind of nonsense a thousand 17 year old NWOBHM bands would have come up with in their parents house in 1981 - at best.

And of course technically speaking they are the Poison of heavy metal, even after all these years.

In fact CC Deville is a far better guitarist than that retarded geeky looking fuck. He should go back to driving the bus on the Simpsons.

The drummer needs a good kick in the face for being an annoying prick and what they describe as a singer whines like a teenage emo with haemorrhoids and is a self absorbed talent vacuum.

Morally though at least Metallica didn't build their entire career on the deaths of starving children in Africa so overall it's about even.

Is this unpopular?

I'm not sure about Lauper right enough...

[Von Halen]

I fucking HATE The Beatles!

[Grant]

I can't stand U2 either and think Bono is a wanker.

Michael Stipe seems like a disturbed human being.

I prefer Pet Shop Boys' version of 'Always On My Mind', than Elvis's.

The Beatles' White Album is overrated.

I think Michael Buble is exceptionally talented.

Shirley, you can't be serious...

Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the finest album ever made.

Every so-called guitar hero not named Jeff Beck working in the rock field (of any era) can be handed his lunch, his hat and ultimately his ass by just about any average country picker leaning against a bar stool.

The best hard rock guitar solo ever recorded was played by an unknown named Tony Peluso and included on a Carpenters single ("Goodbye To Love") sometime in 1972.

Any garage band can for one evening be the world's greatest rock and roll band.

Metallica are posers and have no more validity as artists than the Jonas Brothers.

Milli Vanilli, the Spice Girls and Right Said Fred have created more memorable tunes than Genesis since Peter Gabriel left.

After Freddie Mercury died, the only singer on the planet to replace him in Queen should have been George Michael.

At one time, R.E.M and Husker Du were the best bands ever. Then R.E.M. released their fourth album, and Husker Du broke up.

Eric Clapton knows only one guitar solo and has been playing it over and over since 1965.

Gibson guitars suck.

[sadaist]

I fucking HATE The Beatles!

I 99% concur. I like only a small handful of songs, the top being one by Sir Paul all by himself....so isn't really a Beatles song. (Yesterday)

[FORD]

The Monkees were more of an actual band than Steely Dan ever was.

[Nitro Express]

I fucking HATE The Beatles!

Even when I was a little kid in Kindergarten in 71, I liked the Rolling Stones better. I even had Rolling Stones and STP stickers on my Schwinn Stingray then.

[Nitro Express]

I hate the Who's Tommy. Tried to like it but never could force myself to like it.
I hate Stairway to Heaven.
I hate Bono and would love to shove Sting up his ass and drag the whole mess 20 miles behind a pickup truck.
Eric Clapton has always been over rated.

[Unchainme]

Agreed with the overall take on Metallica

I recall a story they told bragging about calling out Motley Crue in LA, and them running away like pussies following Vince and Nikki Sixx and co about to wail on their asses.

Motley Crue, I believe is miles better than Metallica.

Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and STP are better than Nirvana and

Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, Jay-Z and Eminem, have made better records since 1995 than anything rock and roll has released.

U2's best album and era was "Achtung Baby".

Rolling Stone is a shit magazine, that does a diservice to rock and roll by not focusing on music and having an overall sort of hipster tone to it all.

Sully from Godsmack or Wes from Puddle of Mudd would have been great as lead singers for Alice in Chains right now,

[Mr Badguy]

"Sonic Boom" is one of the best Ki$$ albums EVER.

Jimmy Page has done jack shit since 1979.

I don't want a new Sabbath album featuring Ozzy Osbourne.

[sadaist]

I don't really care for Dark Side Of The Moon. Blasphemous right? Fuck it. Just don't like it. I love The Wall though.

[lesfunk]

Vernon Reid is a shitty, tasteless guitarist. Wait.. that's the truth...

[Nickdfresh]

...
Morally though at least Metallica didn't build their entire career on the deaths of starving children in Africa so overall it's about even.

To be fair, I don't think U2 actually built their career off starving children to death in Africa. In fact, they took quite a bit of flak for it after being indicted by the Hague Court for war crimes...

[Von Halen]

"Sonic Boom" is one of the best Ki$$ albums EVER.

Did you call in to the Eddie Trunk show on Sirius last week? lol.

Excellent solo. Perfect.
Tony died this past June.

The Stones have proven that theory.

Metallica are posers and have no more validity as artists than the Jonas Brothers.

Metallica died with Cliff Burton , imo...

Milli Vanilli, the Spice Girls and Right Said Fred have created more memorable tunes than Genesis since Peter Gabriel left.

All the "artists" you named suck moose coch!

After Freddie Mercury died, the only singer on the planet to replace him in Queen should have been George Michael.

Gotta agree there...

Eric Clapton knows only one guitar solo and has been playing it over and over since 1965.

Clapton blows...
Those brain dead fucks who would spray "Clapton is God" obviously never heard of Jeff Beck!

Gibson guitars suck.

Mmm, nope!

Here's a prime example. Even if your not a Glen Campbell fan, ya gotta give it up for his chops... (1:10)

[Nitro Express]

Back when country music was country music and not a bad, cheesey imitation of rock music.

[Nitro Express]

I never liked Jump. There are far better songs on the 1984 album.

[sadaist]

Metallica died with Cliff Burton , imo...

I used to think that too. Although Justice... was a good album. But honestly I don't think it was Cliffs passing that changed them. It was the money & fame. They went from being a brotherhood of guys drinking & partying together in tour buses & hotels...to millionaires traveling separately & drinking champagne, then going home to wives & kids.

Now when I see them, they are actors. Acting like metal guys when they play that classic stuff.

Happens to most successful bands. The best music output is from the days they all shared apartments, hotels & tour buses.

Just looked it up on YouTube and I'm confused.

[Mr Badguy]

Steve Vai has recorded fuck all worth hearing more than once since 1990.

[Seshmeister]

I know where you are coming from but the first half of Sex & Religion is quite good.

Their singer admitted this. James Hatwhateverhisnameis said it's hard to be pissed off when you are laying by the pool in the sun behind a multimillion dollar home. It's easier to write piss and vinegar when you are living in shit and desperate.

[binnie]

The Beatles were The Backstreet Boys of the 1960s.

Judas Priest should never make another album

[Coyote]

I don't get Jeff Buckley.
I can't wrap my head around "the genius" of John Mayer, Jay-Z, or anyone who's been called a "genius" during the last ten years.
I can't stand death metal, or any form of "metal".
(Pantera's the only representative of "metal" in my collection, but that's only 'cause Dime was a killer guitarist. And that little parallel with =VH=...)
I sure as fuck don't understand how this is better music for dancing than this?

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




















































































What am I showing here, my age or my taste?

[Unchainme]

In regards to Coyote's statement, I have little patience for the death growl vocals. I just don't understand it, as near amazing in a group like that, and almost seems like a cheap way out, I more so respect someone who sings where you could understand the lyrics and have a little bit of range and has some personality.

It's rather sad, because in a lot of those groups there are some decent guitar players, though at the same time, a lot of them just seem to be Joe Satriani wannabes.

Nu-Metal is another thing I cannot stand, and the fact that fucking disturbed gets as much airplay as they do on the local rock stations here really makes me scratch my head. Their lyrics...are..whiny and very shallow, their vocalist can't sing worth a shit and has the personality of a dead moth, and the songs are very cookie-cutter, with no solo. Total buzzkill too with how those stations are set up, as you'll click over and here "Panama" or an actual good song, and you'll crank it up...and then suddenly you hear that shit after it?

[Dave's Bitch]

I hate the Doors.
Jimi Hendrix is the most over rated guitarist of all time.
I think the Rolling Stones are over rated.
Punk music sucks.
Nirvana sucks.
I hate modern metal.

all of the above,also

Kiss's 80's stuff is amazing
Sonic Boom is a fantastic album
Never really dug Led Zep
I also really like Def Leppards Hysteria
Iron Maiden need to hang it up
Judas Priest are better than maiden
Velvet Revolver suck
Alice Cooper is better than black sabbath
Dio was better in sabbath than ozzy
Guns N Roses hands down,best band in history

[FORD]

Back when country music was country music and not a bad, cheesey imitation of rock music.

Except for the fact that Glenn Campbell was a California studio musician before he became a country singer. He was even a temporary Beach Boy for a while, and reportedly played guitar on some of the Monkees' earlier stuff. And songs like "Rhinestone Cowboy" are damn near Hagar-level cheesy.

While it's true that Campbell was a session musician, before that he toured the country circuit in the southeastern U.S. during the fifties. Yes, he played bass on the Champs' "Tequila" and was a member of the Wrecking Crew, but you have to remember that for as much piffle that he recorded with that outfit, he also recorded some hard edged country stuff for heavy hitters like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash.

[ODShowtime]

Bruce Springsteen sucks and is worthless.

[Terry]

I want "Van Halen" to hang it up and call it a day.

I have little to no use for Metallica.

I have little to no use for the Beatles.

Truth be told, Ozzy's last decent album was Diary of a Madman: everything ever since has been a case a slow-but-steadily diminishing returns.

Eric Clapton has ALWAYS been WAY overrated (yes, that includes when he was in Cream, too).

Rolling Stones haven't been worth a damn since 1982.

[Bob_R]

The Beatles were The Backstreet Boys of the 1960s.

Yeah, I'm sure I Am The Walrus, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and Strawberry Fields were their inspiration.

Judas Priest should never make another album

Judas Priest should have NEVER made an album to begin with.

[ashstralia]

(prepares for pounding)

richie sambora is one of the greatest singer/songwriter/guitarists of all time
