What are some unpopular opinions you have about music?

[QUOTE="lazerface216"]

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] I know some people don't like the Beatles, this is an unfortunate fact of life. These people are an underclass of society that require treatment and education, not scorn. Mcspanky37

exactly, if you can't at least appreciate what the beatles did for music then the problem is with YOU AND YOU ONLY.

and that's fine, what they did for music in general goes far beyond any single person's opinion of them.

You're aguably not listening to the music if you're ignoring the dominant element of it.

Also, it's not even necessarily the artist telling you what to feel. :|You sound a lot like how I did prior to exploring lyrical content more critically.

You're really working on some twisted logic here. Granted, yes, everyone is allowed to listen to the music they like and in what manor, but just because you have the freedm to do so does not mean that you aren't missing out or aren't undermining the artist's hard work.

[QUOTE="MadVybz"] As true as that is, knowledge and understanding comes from all sorts of mediums, including music. That's what I meant. To disregard the lyrical value of music is to undermine loads of talented people with something actually worth saying in their passion. MadVybz

[QUOTE="Mcspanky37"] hmm anyone heard of personal preference or opinion?Mcspanky37

Not a Beatles fan ;)

:P

Not what I meant. But yar, everyone can get into anything with enough dedication and the right mindset.

Some of mine:

2. Madonna>Michael Jackson. Sure, he can dance and sing better, but he repeats the same tricks over and over again whereas she experiments more and has an overall more interesting back catalogue. MJ never made anything as sophisticated and artistically-daring as the albumErotica. Her videos are better too.

3. Ray of Light>Thriller. Ray of Light is an atmospheric masterpiece with a mystical feeling to it that is truly captivating. Thriller is just a collection of good to great pop songs.

5. U2 is boring and Bono is a boring vocalist. Same goes for Coldplay outside of a few songs.

9. With the exception of rap, lyrics don't matter that much. What is more important is how the words fit the melody.

GreySeal9

I agree with you that these are unpopular opinions.

[QUOTE="001011000101101"][QUOTE="Mcspanky37"] No, its close minded saying that you cant expand your music tastes at allLJS9502_basic

1. Nicki Minaj is actually a fairly decent performer when she isn't trying to be a "rapping" Lady Gaga

2. Tha Charter IV is Lil Wayne's best album

3. Nu metal isn't completely terrible, there are good bands that don't get as much attention as Limp Bizkit.

4. Music doesn't have to be technical to be good

5. Nickelback is medicore at best, definitely not the worst band of all time.

6. Dark Side of the Moon is also mediocre, Animals is a better PF album

7. Dubstep is insanely catchy and a lot better than club music

8. Smoke on the Water is a terrible song

1. James Brown is a better performer/artist than Elvis Presley.

2. Little Richard is right...he did invent rock n roll, everyone stole his stuff, and he doesn't get enough credit.

That's all I can think of for now.

[QUOTE="MadVybz"]

[QUOTE="001011000101101"] I don't care about the artist's message. If he/she makes good music, that I enjoy listening to, I'll listen to it. Lyrics are not needed, for me to be able to enjoy it. I enjoy the music, not the poetry. I'm not asking you to share my view, but please don't tell me I'm missing out on anything, just because I don't care about lyrics at all. I don't need the artist to tell me what to feel. If the music is good, it'll speak for itself.

I fully understand your stance on the subject. It doesn't negate the fact that you're ignoring a plethroa of potential thought-provoking, emotion-grabbing and influential part of music as a whole. It's more a matter of you haven't yet found music with lyrics that you can relate to, enjoy, or whatever the case may be.

I'm not trying to belittle your opinion, 'cause that would be lame. Since you haven't even providied what type of music you do like, it's hard to understand how you have this view.

[QUOTE="Mcspanky37"][QUOTE="001011000101101"] You don't even know what I listen to, so how the hell can you even say that? I don't want to listen to rock music. It has nothing to do with me not wanting to expand my taste in music. I've given it lots of chances. My dad constantly listened to rock music during my childhood. I just don't like the sound of it. It means nothing to me. Apart from a small selection of tracks, I just don't gain anything from it. I just can't take people like you seriously. You sit there and judge my taste in music, just because I don't care for lyrics and rock guitars. You have no idea what I actually listen to, and you're acting extremely arrogant. Get down from your high horse, and accept not everyone has to enjoy the music you enjoy. 001011000101101

It's understandable and acceptable that a man with your taste in metal cannot embrace both bands. But the one thing I do not condone is your connection of sterile to DsO but avoiding to place such an adjective towards certain bands I spot on your last.fm AND calling them noise rock (as with Neurosis -- really now?). There is more to metal than fruity power chords and majestic backdrops. But yeah, subjective and all that jazz...yehyehyeh.

Death metal causes people to become murderers,that it equals screamo, its for stupid people (despite being incredibly complex from a musicians POV) and all the other nonsense.

That can be applied to all kinds of metal aswell tbh.
