What are your ardently held controversial opinions on music?

[jakefromstatefarm]

Seasons is better than RiB

Sound of White Noise was Anthrax's best album

JC >>> Justin

The Infamous is the most overrated album of its genre

[Phoenix Dark]

The Chronic is overrated.

pretty sure I win. or lose, depending on your perspective

[jakefromstatefarm]

I enjoy 2001 more

and Doggystyle, and Quik is the Name, and Strictly..., and Cube's solos. So I ain't mad at cha

[nudemacusers]

2001 is the og ringtone rap album. 

swans are mad overrated and are traded as cred currency on the internet far too often

[jakefromstatefarm]

2001 is the og ringtone rap album. 

I can't even deny this

[I'm a Puppy!]

New Order was a way better band than Joy Division
U2 is not actually the great Satan of music and were quite good for a bit of time, Achtung Baby was actually rather good (since then though....)
If Kurt Cobain hadn't committed suicide no one would talk about Nirvana anymore
Rap mostly died with Tupcac and has largely devolved into "I got more bitches/money/houses/etc" than you pissing matches

[Himu]

Rap died with 2pac and has not evolved past the 90's era. All Eyez On Me was the height of rap, and the genre has only seen a downward trajectory since. It peaked in 96, and has yet to be topped. It is the most stagnant genre on the radio next to country but fortunately, it's on the come up with the new class.

American rock pales to UK rock.

Electronic is the best genre going right now.

The only good Soundgarden song is Black Hole Sun.

Grunge sucks.

[Himu]

Early 90's love ballads fucking owned







And the fact that I cannot turn my radio on and be greeted with love songs makes me feel dead inside.

[nudemacusers]

you motherfuckers couldn't even wait until page 2 for nirvana hate

[Himu]

Foo Fighters > Nirvana

[I'm a Puppy!]

Let's kick it up a notch.
Nirvana's unplugged performance was a mess that they barely shambled to the end of.

[Himu]

Who said anything about stanning? The Colour and the Shape > Nirvana's entire discog.

Feelings caught

[Himu]

Black Album (Metallica) is a fantastic album.

Nah, no need to catch feelings over crappy aughts rock.

At least they're not Muse, terrible band that one is.

The Colour and the Shape was released in 97.

For that matter. Muse > Nirvana. Hullabaloo > Unplugged

[Mr. Nobody]

Guru would be somewhere rapping for change if he didn't link up with Premier.

The same goes for Bone Thugs N Harmony and DJ Uneek.

Dilla was nowhere near anyone's top 5 until he died and still doesn't need to be there.

The last truly dope Nas album was Stillmatic.

Tupac was never that great outside of Me Against The World.

[Mr. Nobody]

The Infamous is the most overrated album of its genre

Khaki wearing motherfucker 

[Himu]

Dilla was pretty popular before he died. Let's not change history. Then again, as a Common fan, I was always fond of him. I remember people - including myself - being disappointed Kanye was producing so much of Be.

I've already said my piece about this jawn. Shit is a 4.5/17 16 on the Esch scale

The Unforgiven is the only track I can go back to and not feel ashamed for fucking with, everything else on that album is derivative proto-Nickelback basura

I fuxed w/ From Under the Cork Tree :avbehh

[Himu]

FlyLo's You're Dead was a scatter shot album of random ideas and no central theme nor cohesion. 2 minute long songs and pretty sounding song bridges does not a good album make.

Kendrick Lamar is the most overrated of the new rap class. J Cole is better. I like Wale more too.

[Mr. Nobody]

Among rappers sure, but I swear none of these "fans" really held dude in that high of a regard when he was alive. I've seen some outlandish shit brehette, like Dilla's rapping changing how somebody views MCs 

Slum Village were terrible rappers until Elzhi joined. ALL OF THEM.

[Cheddahz]

- New Order is so much better than Joy Division
- "Paul's Boutique" isn't the best album by the Beastie Boys (that honor goes to "Check Your Head")
- Big Sean is actually decent
- The only three Kanye albums worth listening to are College Dropout, Late Registration, and Yeezus
- There hasn't been a decent alternative/rock/indie/whatever album in half a decade
- People who just judge people for listening to "mainstream music" are scust
- Aphex Twin and Flying Lotus released two albums this year that should had been so much more
- Most of Jay Z's albums are better than Nas's best albums, but the albums by Nas haven't dropped as low as "MCHG" or "Kingdom Come"
- The Chronic 2001 > The Chronic
- Rick Ross is solid

[Himu]

Man the late 90's and aughts were bad for mainstream anything.

And you're defending Nirvana.

[Van Cruncheon]

that music is pleasant but inessential

[I'm a Puppy!]

Let's keep dropping bombs.

A lot of Jazz is musical masturbation. The performer is the only one that really enjoys it. A lot of other people like to act that they know what's going on but they have no clue but don't want to let everyone else know they don't know what's going on.  #notalljazz (but a lot of it)

[Van Cruncheon]

agreed on sound of white noise being anthrax' best doe

Almost missed this

[nudemacusers]

AC/DC sucks and is for manchildren who drink cheap beer at trash bars and are on their third marriage

wu tang is for fatherless (either legally or in spirit) white people who spend all their time with headphones on their ears

the only people who listen to classic rock stations in 2014 have "don't renig in 2012" stickers on their ratty ass datsun pickup.

[Atramental]

Music? Useless noise as far as I'm concerned. /terrisus

[toku]

The first two Linkin Park albums are great. As is Limp Bizkit's second album "Significant Other" and like half of of Korn's discography (Up to like "Take a Look in the Mirror" minus maybe "Untouchables").

[Mr. Nobody]

I need to expand my musical palate.

I've heard of all these bands but never bothered to listen to them 

[Phoenix Dark]

Find me 5 producers who chop samples better than Dilla. I'll wait. Find 5 producers with better or on par drums. I'll give you Pete Rock, so find 4 more.

[Mupepe]

I only listen to classic rock stations

On that note, Queen is horribly overrated and only have a handful of good songs.

[nudemacusers]

blaque people apparently have terrible taste in rock music


will cosign on queen.

[jakefromstatefarm]

say this around trve cvlt cvnts and they spzz the fuck out. SoWN isn't anything earth-shattering but honestly if that's what you're listening to Anthrax for you lawst

John Bush era Anthrax had a Pantera-y Grungeish feel to them, their last couple were a not-quite-nu-metal but not-quite-thrash-anymore in a changing hard rock landscape. Super derivative music but when they were on they could hit the right notes

There's defending, and then there's shitting on Foo Fighters and Muse. Which if you know me you knew you'd have seen me express that very opinion before. Nirvana isn't even one of my favorite bands. But they made music I enjoyed, and suddenly deciding the weakest and most underwhelming rock bands of that era are better by virtue of your nostalgia for the period it came out.

98-07 is by far the worst period for any kind of mainstream music with few exceptions here and there. That's not controversial, that's straight up facts.

i thought you mean mainstream anything by everything, not even music

[Himu]

i listen to classic rock stations

[Himu]

Nah, I meant music.

agreed

Premier in his prime

this pigeonhole aint but so big though and I think you know that

Did Mac just say black people have terrible taste in rock while he's defending Nirvana and shitting on queen in the same post

[Himu]

Agreed, Esch.

[jakefromstatefarm]

The first two Linkin Park albums are great.

subterranean-key, I don't hate on anyone who stans Meteora or Hybrid Theory. Like, even at the time I fucked with it as an 11 year old self-pitying mouth-breather I was like, "These guys make music for fekkits," but I can't deny that they had a lot of catchy material

Cajole isn't here so this won't have any pushback but...I've never really liked The Who. They have good albums obviously but I always felt they were missing something that bands like the Stones or Zeppelin had.

point being, I was up to my eyeballs in Simple Plan-esque self effacing maudlin garbage. evidently Linkin Park was too much though :paclaugh

how is that uncontraversial? Ska is just fat white guy with a fedora that can't even pretend they understand jazz music.
