Jives Miguel Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Hit me with your hottest of hot takes. Their Satanic Majesties Request is much better and has aged far more gracefully than Sgt Peppers, even if it s a blatant rip-off. Radiohead is Coldplay for middle-class people who went to uni. Dull, boring music. People only claim to like it as much as they do to match up with the critical opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Chi Chi Wa is arguably both the best and worst mini disco song every written. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holiday Song Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Good topic. On Radiohead, one of my unpopular opinions for a while has been that The Bends is a far better album than OK Computer, and that folk missed The Bends at the time and over compensated by pretending OK Computer is more than it is. Except I've just done some research and seems like The Bends was actually highly rated at the time, so think I'm speaking rubbish on that! I do think OK Computer benefits at coming out when Britpop fatigue had (probably correctly) settled in. My actual unpopular opinion at the moment is that the first Velvet Underground album with Nico is the worst of the four albums they released when they were going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The best thing Dave Grohl has done musically is that one Queens Of The Stone Age album he played drums on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This is just going to be a thread of people falling over themselves to point out that they don't like a popular, successful act. I can do that... The Killers are absolute dog shit. Anybody who doesn't switch the TV or radio off immediately when one of their songs is played is complicent in their crimes and should be tried at The Hague. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I disagree), But on QOTSA, Kyuss is by far the best band Josh Homme's been apart of. Edited August 21 by Jives Miguel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The Bends > OK Computer Also Radiohead's first album Pablo Honey is gash as f**k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bends is far superior to OK Computer. Everything after that was/is patchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Electro Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Malcolm McLaren gave the world the view that the Sex Pistols couldn't play .in fact, Steve Jones was a phenomenal guitarist in a single guitar band. Cook and Matlock a solid rhythm section, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Lana Del Rey is like the music equivalent of a Blade Runner style replicant. Painstakingly designed to seem real and yet there is just something slightly off about the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As wide a pyramid as Pythagoras could allow. That it was Oasis and Blur, and not Pulp and Suede that fought for the pinnacle is the issue that annoyed (past tense) me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 99.99% of "soul" music is utter shite. There should be a genre called Landfill Soul. Most "Northern Soul" fits into this bracket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Never understood the fuss over Foo Fighters, I'd put them in the same grunge-lite category as Nickleback - very meh! Living off Nirvana's legacy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
