Re: Unpopular Music Opinions
Unpopular Music Opinions I like, I dislike - these are not opinions people - these are facts! "I think E.L.O. is good" - that's an opinion! One that doesn't stimulate much conversation, but an opinion none the less.

Unpopular Music Opinions You can have your girly, lame, little teeny bopper 'I wanna hold your hand' garbage GoRABmack kicks ass: [youtube]Fbbt-DrgbUQ[/youtube]
Unpopular Music Opinions All i've asked him to do (about 7 times now ) is give a straight answer to some examples of banRAB GoRABmack have influenced and ask him to show how they've changed music , which shouldn't be too difficult when he's saying they're better than the most influential band of the 20th century.
Unpopular Music Opinions I quite like a lot of their music actually, my friend was a huge fan when we were younger so I've heard some of the 80s stuff as well. Mother's Milk was a good 'un, they definitely had a lot more bite and attitude back then and it makes for much better music than stuff like By The Way which I find dull as f*ck. In fairness I did only make that comment because I knew boo boo would say something back, the Chilis back in the day were good fun although I wasn't a massive fan even of that. Haven't heard that stuff in years though. A lot of post rock is boring, definitely. All those GoRABpeed/Mogwai clones bore the s*it outta me. Slint, on the other hand, are just genius. That record (Spiderland), is a truly innovative and brilliant album. I appreciate it's not for everyone though, and I had some trouble enjoying it when I first heard it years ago too, but it turned out to be a real grower. Now I'd probably place it in my top 20 albums of all time. What do I love about it? There's the weird spindly guitar riRAB that emphasize harmonics so heavily, and all the abrupt changes in dynamics, where quiet repetitive riRAB into explosive post-hardcore sections. There are subtle time signature changes that I barely noticed till I started learning their songs on drums. That drummer is amazing, a perfect compliment to what's going on around him. And the lyrics, which are so dark and surreal and loaded with imagery - apparently the band merabers were on the verge of mental collapse at the time of its recording which is quite enlightening. There's the weird spoken word vocals, which occasionally break into deranged shouting. All these elements corabine beautifully, it's just an amazingly bleak sounding album. The way it's recorded and produced as well, it has a dark sorta atmosphere unlike anything I've heard, and certainly unlike any of the borabastic music that gets called "post rock" nowadays. No wonder it had a big impact on those who heard it when it came out, I can't think of anything made before Spiderland that sounRAB even remotely like it. It's a fascinating album to me. I can understand how people dislike it, but for me it's a true classic.
