Lesane Parish Crooks (2pac) is by far the best rapper of all time and it's not even remotely close.

Bjorks song writing and instrumentation is fantastic, Her voice and harmonies however are absolutely insufferable and unlistenable
Rick rubin, as respected ad an og hip hol head as he is, is a horrific producer, unless it's outside hip hop,

Music that came from Acadiana is just as good as music that came from New Orleans.
EDIT: Wait a minute, Zydeco is Creole? I always thought it originated from Acadiana? Help me out!

The whole thread is purely dumb bad takes. might as well have fun with it.
It very soon became "how can i ridicule another person's taste".
in reality i couldn't care less what people listen to. As long as i don't have to hear it loudly in a public space.

I don't like anything by Michael Jackson either
I also don't like the Beatles. They're the best sedative on Earth
This, too.
In general I just don't like anything slow-paced :( or mellow

Kate Bush is superior to any artist we here in the United States worshipped during the 80s, and this county should be ashamed for not embracing her.
As a whole, Women Vocalists >>>>>>>>>>>> Male Vocalists
The Beatles are not a Top 5 band. Maybe Top 10. Definitely Top 15.
The 90s peaked with Portishead and Fiona Apple.
Julia Holter is better than your currently active favorite musician.

Fact. Madonna, despite her lackluster recent albums is one of the best musicians of all time and every single current female pop act owes their existence to her.
P!NK sold out and started making awful recycled "mom music" to stay relevant.
Charli XCX is a talented musician who is wasting her talent releasing hastily put together trash and nonsensical collaborations.
Selena Gomez has got to be the biggest fraud of current pop music who owes her career to the songwriters whose vocals she uses as her own.
Lana Del Rey is one of the most interesting pop singers working today.
Carly Rae Jepsen is one of the most unremarkable pop singers working today.
Elton John is unbelievably overrated.
mine is "people can listen to what they want and if you go around telling people that they can't listen to something due to your personal determination of quality then you're stuck in the 6th grade and need help."
Welp I made it this far before having to dip out before getting angry. Imagine saying this when John Coltrane existed. Jesus H Christ.
Partially agree, 1995-2005 would be my choice though. Also your avatar is amazing, R. Baggio is one of the best football players ever.
1000% this. See it all the time in LGBT circles that listen solely to present day Pop. Boggles the mind.
why have you not moved there yet, you keep hyping the state up so much
texas is ok but I would not give it anything approaching most importance though. The Mississippi delta is light-years more significant than anywhere else in the country
I think Tim Hecker's work rivals some of the best of classical music in artistic merit.
Also, the Beastie Boys suck and are basically unlistenable.
And SOPHIE is just okay. Her work is noteworthy, but imo primarily within the lens or context of pop. Autechre did more cutting edge stuff way back in 2001.

Imagine if we let the jazz pianists play without the sax ruining it.
Surely nothing like that exists where two artists respect each other so much that they allow each other their respective moments to shine on a composition and blend their instruments perfectly, seamlessly. Oh wait
I'm ignoring this thread now, it will make me irrationally upset lol
I hate boring post rock shit bands like Godspeed You Black Emperor. When your best defense of the music is that its great to listen to when doing something else, then the music isn't really great. Its one of those things you claim to enjoy when you want to seem like an interesting person
Just to add to this, If your band name has unnecessary punctuation in the title (Like Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Panic! At the Disco) I immediately don't give a shit about anything you will ever produce.
Limp Bizkit used to be good [their last album was trash though]
Chester Bennington is the best vocalist of all time
Rock is not dead
Mumble rap and new school rap is shit in general
AC DC, Guns and Roses and Greatful Dead are extremely overrated

I used to be a fan of GY!BE but graduated to even subtler more experimental and ambient stuff (lol).
It's not as you say, it isn't the kind of music you listen to while doing something else, it's the kind of music you listen to reclined eyes closed with headphones. The impressionism and subtle transitions are supposed to seep into you, and that doesn't happen if you're distracted. It's the kind of stuff that rewards patience and attention, so I'd say a closer analog is to tranquil contemplation. It's fine to not like it but ime most people are just not fit judges to evaluate its quality just because of the discrepancy in taste. Most post rock that I know of like Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, or Sigur Ros, are actually kinda basic imo.
This except Wagner is a fuckin' fascist and ain't nobody out there who should be trying to imitate the dude's style
I can appreciate your take, its better than what most people have reasoned when I ask them why. I'm not a huge post rock fan in general, it sometimes seems to be to far up its own asshole on how clever it thinks it is, when I just find it boring. Some Mogwai tracks were ok but in general it just isn't for me. Not sure they count as post rock, but I find Sigur Ros painfully boring as well. I remember when their first album dropped and people gushed on how amazing it was and NOBODY would dare criticize it. To me it was like Spiritualized, only less talented and interesting and 100% more boring and gimmicky. Hopelanic? Cut that bullshit out.
I'm upset.
This, I partly agree with.
Virgins was Tim Hecker's last good album.
Nah man get on my (rarefied) level :p Love Steams was meh but since then, Hecker challenging himself to even greater levels of austerity can only be a good thing.
I actually agree with this, all of those bands you mentioned had a transitional role in my life, so my interest in them wasn't really sustained, either.
TNT is the best record of the 90s
Also listen to this if you like tortoise. May be a little bit tough if your ears too tender to take in the dulcet tones of the saxophone

for anyone saying Kanye is a bad rapper, lmao at you if you listen to him expecting top 5 tier lyrics
but please tell me one person in hip-hop capable of doing all the shit he made in these 20+ years in the music industry, elevating the artistic state of hip-hop and pop music in general influencing pretty much all major artists nowadays
the only one i could think being somewhat close would be pharrell, but still, Kanye is better

I can never tell which of these takes are real and which are trolls. Like, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I understand not liking the Beatles, but this?
To contribute: I like Queen, but you are safe only listening to the Greatest Hits I & II albums (and II only for a few songs). I did a deep dive into their catalog and the hits became hits for good reason, and everything else is pretty forgettable.

Yeah, the racial undertones in vaporwave are creepy and weird and beyond that I actually don't think most of the music in the genre improves on the original soul recordings they've downpitched.
Is it dumb? You could argue that, but that would be dumb in and of itself because it's all subjective. However, The Beatles didn't contribute anything new. They didn't break or even bend conventional music standards. To go even further, they were 4 good looking guys who became a pop sensation because of their looks and accent.
Compare them to someone in their time frame, like James Brown, and you can clearly see how outclassed they were dealing with just music.
But I'm some faceless person talking about music tastes on a forum on the Internet. You may very well be right; I'm just dumb. *shrug*
Pop music after ~2005 just fell off a fucking cliff IMO. lol. I had to stop listening to the radio it was that bad. Even today I listen to the Top 40 and am just baffled.
How the fuck is Old Town Road one of the biggest tracks in the world? How is Lewis Capaldi a thing?
Mystery.

I'm legit confused about people in here posting that Queen is just fine or not the greatest band ever. Here, in a controversial music opinions thread. Outside of like one diehard Queen fan I met, I've never heard anyone refer to them as one of the greatest bands ever, so it's confusing seeing these posts to the contrary and acting like it's a bold take.
The Beatles, the Stones, Zeppelin? Sure, those are beloved bands that many musicians cite as influential so saying they're overrated is controversial to the mainstream. But Queen?
I wasn't expecting them to come up at all, outside of someone maybe saying they're absolute trash

Who says that? Whenever I have good Post Rock on it demands my attention. You don't have to like it, but there's no need to attack its fans while you're at it.
