Controversial non-metal opinions

[Silcathia]

Lady Gaga is not as bad an artist as many people view her.
The Beatles are not as great of artists as many people view them.
Taylor Swift is not that great an artist.
Modern country music, in general, is terribly banal.
Much of the electronic dance music made today is also terribly banal.

Romantic era classical music is interesting.

not controversial....

Classic rock is boring.
NWOBHM is boring.
Blues music is boring.

not controversial....

Hmm, I guess not, but would it be controversial if I said it beats every genre except for metal? And even then, it's better than some metal. It's easily better than classic rock, modern rock, all pop music and country music.

Blues music is incredibly boring. The old gritty stuff like Muddy Waters is okay once in a while, but that saccharine, overproduced bullshit like BB King can fucking die.

actually id say classical is pretty much tops, especially the romantic and modern eras.

Now that's a little controversial
It's definitely better than Nu Metal and metalcore, but that's probably not to controversial considering most people here would shun those genres (with good reason too).

comparing classical to nu metal is like comparing Michaelangelo to rectal herpes.

 

[anomaly]

Well I think nu metal fans would prefer rectal herpes - their lack of taste is rather obvious.

you're alright with me.

Hmm... I can't stand Aerosmith. Everyone I tell this to seems to think it blasphemous.

I used to feel the same way... but their 70's stuff really grew on me after listening to the entire albums. Not a favorite of mine but still good stuff.

Same. I have a friend who is obsessed with them and it drives me insane. I don't have the heart to tell him I think they suck. They do have a few great songs though, but all in all I dislike them.

It's good to see you back here.

 

[hibernal_dream]

I used to hate The Beatles. Then I listened to their albums.

I was almost at this phase a few weeks ago. I thought, well everyone likes them so they must be good. Then I heard someone else listening to "Hey Jude" (or June?) and thought it was the most insipid poppy rubbish I'd ever heard. That put me off checking them out for at least the next few years.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Well you will listen to an insipid poppy McCartney song.
