Nickleback - Silver Side Up is a pretty decent album. Sure, that song is annoying and extremely overplayed, but I quite like the rest of the album.
I must admit that beyond that particular album I don't know much about them, so if you claim that the rest of their discography is garbage, I'll take your word for it.
The average quality of music in the world doubled the day Kurt Cobain solved his headache problem. Grunge was a disease caused by not changing your clothes, and using too much heroin instead of learning to play instruments and sing.
And, I'm peak GenX and a Seattleite.
The Beatles are pretty lowbrow compared to the hype given to them which is based mostly on charisma instead. If they made their song debuts on The Masked Singer, not nearly as many people would be particularly drawn to them.
Many of my friends get super personally offended when I say that phish isnβt a great band
Geezer Butler is the most important member of Black Sabbath.
That punk died in the early 80's.
That Portlandia sketch with Jello Biafra waking up from a coma to the Yuppies having won was probably the only really good and well thought out sketch on that show.
People who suscribe to Spotify don't give a shit about musicians.
As a musician and spotify subscriber, can confirm
Phil Collins's solo work is mind-numbingly, eye-bleedingly, toe-curlingly boring and awful.
noise music is unironically great and the justified reponse to capitalism ruining music
People who don't enjoy music are somehow missing a part of their humanity.
I know one guy who was raised in a house where they played the radio full blast all day, every day. He likes it when it's quiet.
The majority of both Drake's and Kanye's discographies are horrible. I've had this opinion since way before they've had their public drama.
Some things that are apparently classics that generally, outside a handful of titles for some of those, bore me to death: Red Hot Chili Pepper, Tool, Radiohead, Metallicaβ¦
Not unpopular, just weird: the way to find your favorite song is keeping one as an alarm sound without starting to actively hate it.
Yup, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine theme song as my alarm, 5 years and counting
All music without lyrics/singing is background music.
