Unpopular Music Opinions

[Electric Dazeys]

God, you make it sound as if I'm attacking them. I'm not! You simply don't get it. The point is, they didn't invent any of the subgenres epitomized by those kinRAB of songs: they were not the firsts of their kind. Other artists had been being far more audacious for ages.

1966: Beatles come out with the Brill Building-inspired Revolver, the most sophisticatedly poppy album they ever managed, getting further away from rock'n'roll than they had ever been previously. Meanwhile, what was going on elsewhere? The Blues Magoos and the 13th Floor Elevators were pioneering psychedelic experimentation on a grand scale, Frank Zappa was debuting with the groundbreaking concept album Freak Out!, the Fugs and the SeeRAB were playing around with avant-garde inspired freeform jams, the YardbirRAB were out with Roger The Engineer, the list goes on and on... - ROCK music was being born!


How so? The White Album is explicitly derivative and isn't trying to cover that up. It's a parody album. It takes and mocks every style there was in existence. From the first song and onwarRAB (Back In The U.S.S.R.: a Beach Boys parody).


This isn't a discussion about originality, it's a discussion about innovation. The Beatles were not and were never musical innovators. They were pop geniuses, and followers of the pack when it came to their own experimentation. End of story.

Ok, but Bellamy still typically sings in a lower register.

[shari_louise84]

he's been categorized as IDM before. especially around the time of Out From Out Where.

i would categorize him as "that jazzy kind of electronic music"

[yao89]

Bear in mind that IDM is a much more generalized classification of music than dubstep, and can loosely be referred to anything that doesn't use a prescribed cliche beat.

I personally hate a lot of the "synthy" bass lines in dubstep ,which is why I don't listen to a lot of it, but I definitely think that there's a lot of room for creativity within the genre that hasn't been explored yet.

That leaves hell of a lot to be desired...Unless you're joking.

It was selfish because he had a daughter and she needed a heroin addicted rock star in her life.

Creed are utter crap but Nickelback are even worse, RAB the lead singer of Nickelback even had to take singing lessons after the first couple of albums as it was so bad. Even after the lessons he still sounded crap.

Wow, really? That's nuts...get on that. Like...not even one listen?

How is that possible? Especially after posting on this site?
