Slipknot is worth seeing live at least once for their stage presence alone.
Hip-hop is probably the worst macro-genre and a "classic" hip-hop album translates to a 6 or 7 compared to other genres.
local h is better than nirvana
>>60933470
That's like saying Miley Cyrus is worth seeing for her stage presence. Any huge name artist/band has "stage presence".
all music is bad
>>60933482
But everyone on /mu/ thinks that...
>>60933470
This opinion isn't unpopular. Anyone who is even remotely into metal knows they're great live and they make pretty good music. Iowa is god-tier.
masterpiece
>>60933511
It's different, Miley Cyrus doesn't really haven't any genuine showmanship.
I was watching some live Slipknot footage the other day and I could feel the energy radiating off the screen.
It's a shame their musics so shit, the majority of them are actually really talented, so much wasted potential in one band

>>60933503
Would you be willing to expand on this? I'm just curious why you don't like it, or what about the genre makes it so bad.
of Montreal (especially Hissing Fauna-Paralytic Stalks) is one of the greatest pop band of all time, but everyone will look over them because Pitchfork gave them a couple of good reviews.

I think Taylor Swift deserves the title of Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen of our generation.

>>60933625
Please explain
Pinkerton is 4/10 at best
>>60933701
Well maybe not so much Dylan, but a while ago critics were saying that she's the 'next springsteen', and I thought to myself 'yeah I can see that'.

Yeezus is the best album of the 2010s so far and a potential candiate for best album of all time.
Loveless is the worst /mu/core album.
Pitchfork isn't any more patrician than The Rolling Stone. P4k drones are on the same level as dadrock drones and radio drones.
It's understandable to hate hip hop.

i like my fair share of hip-hop but i do agree that even its best works rarely hold a candle to great works from other genres. it's just too narrow. the focus on lyricism above all else often works to the detriment of the music.

Frank Zappa is better than any indie rock band (NMH, Animal Collective, My Bloody Valentine, etc.)
Frank Zappa is better than Captain Beefheart.
The Beatles are better than The Beach Boys.
Underground or conscious hip-hop is better than gangsta rap.
Tool is my favorite metal band.
I like Grimes for her music and don't give a shit about waifus or her political views.
Philip Glass is a great composer.
I like Modest Mouse better than Radiohead.
Coldplay and Muse are two of the most boring and bland bands to ever exist.
The College Dropout is better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
"Weird Al" Yankovic is hilarious.

This isn't even remotely unpopular.

Around these parts it is.
People forget these thread are unpopular opinions on /mu/ not unpopular opinions in the real world
>>60934819
>People forget these thread are unpopular opinions on /mu/ not unpopular opinions in the real world
Which is the point I was making. I usually base mine around the whole rather than just the board itself. Aside from that, even if you just include this board, I was still argue that it isn't remotely unpopular around here to say The Beatles are better. That's hotly contested around here.
Progressive metal is great and "wank" isn't an inherently bad thing.
Early Dream Theater was absolutely brilliant and their new album is shaping up to be a return to form for the band.
The Afterman is Coheed and Cambria's best release.
Slip knot saved my life

eh carrie and lowell is pretty tight. i'm not really drawn to either of them though, especially not anco. and it seems like sufjan has more fillers than wholesome songs.
MBDTF is the most overrated hip hop album of all time
UK hip hop has been far more interesting than US hip hop in the past 5 years or so in terms of creativity and experimentation.
>>60933549
Slipknot's music isn't shit
You just have shit taste
This is a solid 7/10
>>60935176
can you rec any UK hip hop pls?
-Replica is straight up better than R+7 and G.O.D. Thematically, it's a tight package, and it conveys its message perfectly.
-GKMC is a much tighter and more powerful project than TPAB. It literally surpasses TPAB in many respects, despite TPAB itself being solid.
-Los Angeles is the most overrated album in FlyLo's discography. I don't know why people tolerate that snoozefest when FlyLo's music is ADD as hell.
-St Vincent only has one worthwhile album: Actor.
>>60935176
>MBDTF is the most overrated hip hop album of all time
This would be much more controversial on reddit, but I agree anyway.
>>60933546
It's pretty good
>>60933503
This is true. The music is generally far too minimal. Honestly, most of it can't even be considered music until you get more G-Funk kind of stuff. Sure it's art, like poetry or something but I can't call something so devoid of melody music.
>>60933470
>all the right reasons is a ridiculously underrated album
Tears for Fears is better without Curt Smith.
>>60933470
Lift Your Skinny Fists is easily Godspeed's worse album. I have no idea why it holds all the acclaim that it does when literally every other album they've put out is better
>>60934585
>Zappa is better than Beefheart
I don't know why no one ever says this, but it's true.
Also, anyone who doesn't like Weird Al should leave this board forever.
The most recent Swans output (seer, tbk) is embarrassingly inferior to the early stuff
Tool is really good, and people who dismiss them because of their fanbase are stupid.
Rodeo is one of the best albums of 2015.
Mac Demarco's music sucks (not sure if actually an unpopular opinion). He seems like he's just trying to show you how "chill" he is rather than make interesting music. Would still hang out with him though.
The vast majority of music that's worth a damn these days comes from the genres of noise, drone, musique concrete/collage, techno, and jazz.
Dismissal of so called "dad-rock" is the worst part of this board

Amazing how no one will admit this.
As a musician, if you really want inspiration you are better off with Metal rather than Indie
This is a perfect record.
Kurt Cobain was a genius and Nirvana was one of the best rock bands of all time

Opinion?
Surely this is objective fact by now yes?
This is a 10/10 album and a great leap from what was being released in the genre at the time.

Nigga have you ever heard afro-beat? Rythm is a huge part of music and just because your white ass can't move to it, doesn't mean it's not good. Making music from a melodic point is just one way of doing it, but it's definitely not the only right way. Expand your horrible taste!

So it's not even a fucking implication, it's a fact based on your own shitty statement that the only G-Funk can be considered music. Based on what you've written in this thread it's easy to see that you haven't even finished high school. Go back to school and let the grown ups discuss music you dumb little twat. Come back when you've gotten half a brain.
My Chemical Romance are a fucking great band and Arctic Monkeys newest album is probably their best
>>60937034
He does have a point though with modern hip hop. Too much tic tic tac and not much else beside a lame ass line trying to be a hook.
And before you try that afro rhythm bullshit with me let me give you a hint of a something i grew up with along with everything else was around at the time.

Dad rock may not have been better than music today (only time will tell) but mainstream music in the 60's, 70's and to some effect the 80's is leagues better than mainstream music today.

>>60937886
This kind of competitive mentality on art and music is what made this board shun "dadrockers" in the first place, It was a childish move and both sides didn't had anything but their own hurt egos in their minds when doing it.
st vincent is one of the best modern rock artists, her cuteness has nothing to do with it, and her hair is very nice it's not "meme hair"
bob dylan is extremely overrated and sings like he has problems
>>60933777
This is true
>>60934585
Mostly true
>>60937967
>This kind of competitive mentality on art and music
Which is quite natural to the scene. You know how many bands strive to be the top dogs in their town? I was in a HC band that did exactly that. We were the best band in the area and no one could even dispute that until we broke up.
>>60937865
What are you trying to say?

Don't know if trolling, but he was clearly the one that called me retarded first.
>Doesn't think "atonal" rap is music
You don't have to like it, but don't go around not calling it music. that's just stupid, and completely wrong. And... do you even know what atonal means?
>>60934877
Dream Theater has literally made one single good album before they went overboard with the extremely cheesy effects and flashy 'my name is John Petrucci and I play guitar really fast, look at me playing this solo filled with 16ths in a slow tempo ballad!' guitar parts
>>60933482
>>60933503
Both of these are true though
>>60938082
Exactly what i'm saying. Way too many fuckheads in hip hop these days are worth jackshit as far as rhythm. And melody is virtually at kindergarten level.
>>60938082
Some dude basically speaking really fast over a drum beat with no melody is not music
This is the best album GYBE has released since 2001.
