Post your controversial music opinions v. I couldn't find the previous one

[Kotowboy]

Ok here it comes, the most controversial of all opinions








The Astonishing > WDADU

It's that good

< Obligatory " Now Wait A Minute Man " >

[Prog Snob]

Sometimes I feel like WDADU > FII

[Kotowboy]

Sometimes I feel like WDADU > FII

Now wait a minute man...

[Prog Snob]

Ytsejam, Only A Matter of Time, Afterlife, The Killing Hand. The only songs on FII that are definitely better than those are Trial of Tears and Lines in the Sand.

[Kotowboy]

Hell's Kitchen ?

[Sacul]

I think Dead Can Dance's last record is their best by far. Wished they released another one.

In Rainbows is very dull imo. And Kid A would be better without the filler ambient tracks.

[Prog Snob]

Hell's Kitchen ?

Not as good as Ytsejam, IMO.

[Super Dude]

Weezer's much-maligned Green Album is actually one of my favorites by them. It's not better than Pinkerton, but makes top 3 easily.

[Zook]

Fans of Green Day saying another band's singer can't sing. El Oh El

[Stadler]

Couple more:

- I think Slayer are a joke, cartoon, and while I don't think I would say it to his face, Kerry King makes me laugh more often than not.

- I think The Cars are one of the greatest bands ever and belong in the RnRHoF

- I would sell my house to hear an album with Robert Fripp and Mike Portnoy

- I think "Under The Blade" is one of the greatest metal debut albums of all time

[CDrice]

Sometimes I feel like WDADU > FII

I agree with that. I like Hell's Kitchen and Peruvian Skies more than any song on WDADU, but other than that, I find most of the songs on FII much less interesting than the ones on WDADU.

I agree wholeheartedly with this one.

Lazarus Bird from Burst >>>>> Every Mastodon album

Like Children > Every Mahavishnu Orchestra album

Marscape > Every Brand X album

- No Code is Pearl Jams worst album.

- The Police are one of the worst (non manufactured) bands ever, with their awful half baked white cod reggae and repetitive lyrics - and both Sting and Copeland are grade A arseholes.

- Street Legal is a vastly underrated Dylan album and Changing Of The Guard is one of his top 3 songs.

- A-Ha are one of the greatest pop acts ever.

- Dance of Death is the best post reunion Maiden album.

- As people have mentioned them so much....Sol Invictus was an awful comeback album.

- I don't really get what's so great about Bowie's 'Berlin Trilogy'.  Station to Station is better than them all.

- The Kinks > The Who > The Beatles >>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Stones.

[Sacul]

Heroes is a great song, but the album is just ok.

treefingers is the best song on Kid A

hi

[TheCountOfNYC]

Sometimes I feel like WDADU > FII

I always feel that way. I also prefer WDaDU over SC.

[Kotowboy]

treefingers is the best song on Kid A

hi

A few minutes of ambient sound is not a song.

[Kotowboy]

- The Kinks > The Who > The Beatles >>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Stones.

I love No Code and Vitalogy is my favourite. I lost interest from Binaural onwards.

I agree they're not an album band with all their best known songs being their best songs full stop. Albums were full of dreck.

Whilst i'm not a fan of The Kinks - I will agree that The Stones are easily the worst of that bunch.

[Crow]

hi

L O L this actually pisses me off. it's absolutely a song.

[Kotowboy]

By the same token - a recording of someone walking around for 3 minutes is also a "song".

[Train of Naught]

This is like the people that say metal is just noise

[Crow]

you're like, fully aware than ambient and drone are legitimate genres right
also, field recordings? also a thing?

[King Postwhore]

Totally.  For sure. Gag me with a spoon.

[Sacul]

Dunno if field recordings can be considered songs tbh, though it certainly seems to be a niche genre. Probably for experimental/archival purposes mostly.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

The 90's were a terrible decade for music.

[Sacul]

The 80's were a terrible decade for music.

FTFM.

[ReaperKK]

I was just listening to Jeff Buckley's Grace while getting some lunch and his cover of Hallelujah is a blemish on an otherwise perfect album.

[MirrorMask]

- Dance of Death is the best post reunion Maiden album.

I'm with you! 

[bosk1]

The 90's were a terrible decade for music.

Off topic.  It can't be "controversial" if it is undisputed.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

lol, thank you

[425]

I agree with Kotow (I know, it also scares me how much I've been agreeing with Kotow lately) on what does and does not constitute a song. But I don't really want to get into this debate again because it never goes anywhere good.

I'll only share three big controversial opinions right now and then I'll maybe post more later.

• Heritage is my favorite Opeth album.
• My favorite era of Metallica's career is 1996-1999.
• I like The Incident better than Hand. Cannot. Erase. and also anything I've heard from Steven Wilson that was released before In Absentia, and quite possibly Deadwing.

[Sacul]

The 90s were fucking great, dunno whatcha talking about

Heh, Damnation is by far my fav Opeth album, and I don't dig anything else they've done, mostly the death metal albums - feels like they have 1 or 2 songs and the rest are just variations of them.

Dunno if I dig The Incident than much, but it's certainly a damn fine album, kinda underrated tbh.

Also, Ommadawn >>>>> Tubular Bells.

[Crow]

agree with sacul that the 80's as a whole sucked for music in general

[Kotowboy]

The 80s were terrible for most things except sci fi movies.
