Post a controversial music opinion

In which case idgi sorry

Extended/12" versions of beloved radio-length pop songs are almost always disappointing.

(By pop songs I basically mean not disco/dance music, that's a different kettle of fish)

Listening to a 90s live set by Ernest Ranglin and being reminded about wondering if the Skatalites were an influence on math rock.
INtricate repetitive details niggled at by various instruments to a rhythm.

Also Sister Ray as a great monolithic funk jam. Always reminds me of gogo

Come with Me > Kashmir

is that controversial?

― The Silky Veils of Alfred (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn)

I mean I've never heard a good thing said about Puff Daddy's "Come With Me", but maybe I hang out with the wrong people.

Tenacious D's first album is a front-to-back classic.

LIVE had some great singles. Shout out to Dolphin's Cry and Lightning Crashes in particular, I can even forgive them for the Her Placenta Falls To The Floor bit.

The singles off the first Matchbox Twenty album are great.

I haven't forgiven 'I rushed the lady's room / took the water from the toilet / washed her feet and blessed her name'.

"Dolphin's Cry"

beyoncé's music imprisons minds & liberates no one

Pink Floyd should have made the Household Objects album and not bothered with Wish You Were Here

It all makes sense now, thanks to the top comment: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/40933/

OTM

I dunno what “Household Objects” is, but WYWH has been my PF jam since like the 6th grade; so you guys are *Off*-T-M...

Never heard this till now, if it's genuine and not some fake, but it's better than "Dark Side of the Moon".

every fake of any kind is better that DSotM

Word... I can behind the idea of scrapping THAT album

about time someone said this

I said it a while back. It did not go well.

imprison your mind
and your ass will follow

Hole were a better band than Nirvana and deserve the latter's place in The Canon(TM).

Most grunge was bad, and did music no favors.

xpost

the Beatles were good

At their best, Artery were better than Joy Division

Hole were a better band than Nirvana and deserve the latter's place in The Canon(TM).

Agree, but mostly due to Nirvana's staggering shittiness; Hole didn't actually get good until Celebrity Skin.

...

The Pet Shop Boys should have hung it up after Very.

The vinyl LP, while a cooler artifact, is inferior to the CD as a music medium. (Cassette tapes have no excuse but borrowed nostalgia, but I hope that's not controversial.)

Blackheart is a cool album, but overall I think Dawn Richard's solo career has been overrated on here. The second Danity Kane album was her peak.

cassettes are fun to record on and for making mixtapes, but they are by far the worst medium for music listening

Cassettes are durable and had a portability function in the Walkman / car tape deck / boombox era, but there’s no reason for them now.

In their flawed fidelity, they do have their own distinctive sound and warmth + memory triggers for those of us of a certain age so I can get their appeal, within limits.

CDs or lossless digital are best for music with a wide dynamic range; that can't be controversial?

the qualities and character of tape are beautiful but it's easily the least practical way to listen to music compared to the other three dominant media (vinyl, streaming, CD's).

Yeah, convenience is definitely not one of the benefits of cassettes in the present day.

How is vinyl more convenient? Can't play an LP on a Walkman.

lossless digital is technically the better medium, assuming a good master. However mastering often ruins a lot of lossless releases, whether CD or web.

My controversial opinion: 154 > Chairs Missing

To me CDs are more consistent at sounding good. Vinyl is all over the place, sometimes sounding either far worse or far better than CDs.

this is correct, not controversial

the real talk: pink flag is at best wire's fourth-best album and it's probably lower

It might be correct or it might not be correct but it is controversial.

Not extremely controversial, of course!

"Pretty On The Inside" is an amazing album

Eddie Vedder has turned into a marvelous singer.

Read & Burn 01/Read & Burn 02/Send > Pink Flag/Chairs Missing/154

The first Read & Burn is one of my favorite albums/EPs/whatever of the '00s.

markos and crut otm

re grouper - great music for plane rides tho, easy to nod off to

"Send" is terrible though <---- adequately fulfilling the requirements of the thread title
