Controversial Music Opinions
- Thread starter Menome

It's a very good cover indeed. Actually that record is also one of Death's best albums to me, maybe top 3, which is probably another controversial opinion of mine.
Styles P is one of the best rappers and super underrated, Fugazi and Sonic Youth are the best bands of the 90s, Black sabbath best album is their debut, Frank Ocean is easily one of the best artists of the 21st century, Trent Reznor is one of the best musicians of all time.
man I wish Taylor Swift sounded like a poor man's Taylor Swift circa 1989
Beck has never been good
Mine will sound a little odd to some for sure, but i absolutely adore György Cziffra's interpretation of Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody N.2 ...
Believe me, that's controversial ;)
Let's be even crazier... (because there's the video)
nb: Daffy and Donald aren't here !

Mellow Gold is over 25 years old so you're going to have to be a tad more specific about which generation.
I have two turntables and a microphone that says you're wrong.
See? Controversial.
Kanye isn't as deep as everyone thinks he is.
Babymetal is the only Metal band that I enjoy.
Freddie Mercury was the most charismatic frontman.
KPOP in general is worse than ~10 years ago.
I'm from the West Coast and Tupac is overrated, and he was just a poet nerd who was in way over his head, Biggie was better.
NSYNC > Backstreet Boys.

Paul Hardcastle has more talent in his pinky than Kanye has in his entire body. Which isn't a shot at Ye specifically, and more to any other artist people believe to be the best while PH is still alive.
Paul Hardcastle has some good stuff, but he does lean towards elevator/lounge/spa music.
I'm convinced that the vast majority of their fans only grew to like their music through force of repetition. Some tastemakers in the 90s decided Radiohead were The Real Thing(TM) and a million posers never questioned them on it.
Fact is, unless you have some training or understanding of how music is constructed, Radiohead will fly right over your head. They're an experimental demo band musicians get excited over like car guys drooling over Porsches or Ferraris. Meanwhile, a bunch of Corolla drivers have made liking them a part of their identities for no honest reason.

That was the point though? A complete culture rebellion against stuff like prog made by art-school trained musicians, from working-class oiks who just picked up cheap guitars and drums and strung three chords together.
Capital-P Punk of the late 70s was a flash-in-the-pan movement that was more about a statement of intent than good music. That came later with the bands you mentioned.
A good EDM producer is on par with or dare I say it more talented than many songwriters.
Just the ability to jam on instruments and right it down gives you such a huge advantage vs literally making it all from scratch on a computer. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of trash and generic sounding electronic music but the good producers are seriously next level musical talents.

In recenT times, yes, but you'd be doing PH a disservice by glossing over his ventures in funk/disco, R&B, and electro/synth stylings.
Progressive metal and jazz have consistently been the two most interesting genres of the last 50 years. Pop and rock have stagnated and remain locked into boring 4/4 time signatures and song structure so they can be radio friendly.
This isn't true at all. Musicians have always earned the vast majority of their income from merchandise and ticket sales. Album sales mean almost nothing money wise to most artists.
I'd rather listen to someone screaming as they smash their head repeatedly on a Casio keyboard than any of that business. Virtuosity, while superficially impressive, lacks soul to me.
Without his
I don't even know what you'd call or it the moment it happened but without his run right now since like fucking idk 2010 or whatever?
hip-hop would not be the #1 genre in the world
...What if, and open your mind real wide now, people heard their songs and... liked them?
I hate Queen with a passion, but I would never presume anything about the people that like them.
The most utterly inane, arrogant and completely meaningless musical opinions are the one's where people conjure up the reasons others like something they don't. They have literally no grounding in anything approaching reality and say more about the person who spouts them off than anything else.
I don't like the Beatles, even when i do see their importance , they just don't click with me, same for their solo stuff. I like Oasis WAY better.
Come at me motherfuckers.

If you think all prog metal sounds like Dream Theater, then sure. Bands like Opeth, Between The Buried And Me, Polyphia, etc. have plenty of soul and are focused more on composing interesting and challenging instrumentals without just a bunch of wankery. The genre has been growing and changing since it's inception.
I don't think that's controversial at all. But actually fans of the Cure are convinced of this, including myself.
Not so sure about the bolded, but other than that I totally agree with you.
I like "interesting and challenging" and I've got friends who have tried to get me into it and... it does nothing for me. I'd argue it is wankery in terms of composition too.
I take it you haven't heard more than 3 metal songs in your life if you think that's all the lyrics talk about.
Not really, but I didn't want to crap up the recent RHCP post with my opinion.
The beat to "On Sight" is a top 5 hip-hop beat of all time.
Daft Punk's remix to Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" is good.

If you wanted to replace Beck with West, you'd have to replace Bowie with shitfucker
