since soooo many are cluttering up the Stupid Things You've Heard Thread (Music Related) here's a thread for you that just like to state opinions you don't care for that you think are stupid.

Link to Part Two

[Thread inspired by Quinarvy]

This thread is awesome. That is my opinion.

Nirvana sucks. That is all.

I cannot stand overly simplistic synthetic rhythm sections. One reason I hate pop so much. There's just no depth, so when I dive into the music, expecting some measure of complexity, I end up cracking my head open on the bottom relatively quickly because of how shallow it sounds. With a simple rhythm section, I can at least wrap my head around drum sound and which drums are being hit along with distinguishing a bass line from the mix. With most pop tunes, there's NOTHING for me to grasp. It's all too clean, simple and emotionless and that sound is like nails against a chalkboard to me (which, in retrospect, might be better since it could be used well as ambience).

Oh, by the way, nice title, there, a21Schizoidman a.k.a. the "Prog-nosticator", haha

I agree with that post actually, hits the nail on why I don't like pop really at times. I also got to say that title kicks ass.

I don't like overly technical pieces of music. Most extremely technical musicians sound like emotionless robots to me; in my opinion, there's little point in playing music if you can't play from your heart, and not from your brain.

I'm one of them "there is beauty in simplicity" folks.

i typically lean towards the more simplistic/minimalist stuff, but neither particularly jump out at me when listening to music unless that's there is to it (in which case i probably hate it).

that said, when recording my own music i tend to go with layering a possibly excessive amount of tracks over one another because while i'm definitely not a perfectionist, i do have LOTS of trouble deciding that something is "done".
my latest recordings have caused me to really focus on keeping things more stripped-down, along with trying to sing and not coat my voice in effects.

I have nothing against simplicity. Simplicity can be beautiful, but in the context of pop, its emotionless, mechanical simplicity.

I don't like music that sucks.

They say that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

I may not like it, but I appreciate music that elicits some kind of emotional reaction.

I hate when on news they interview someone about a car crash and that the person says...
"It all went so fast!"
Really? How surprising!

It's a car accident man... it can't be slow.















Oh! It was supposed to be music related? Then I personnally can't stand the fact that Jimi Hendrix is dead. I don't get it. Why... WHY?!

but does it really suck? and if so, what if it sucks in a non-sucky way?

EDIT: test

Everyone else is horribly wrong. That's my opinion. :cool:

Also Death Magnetic still sucks.

its not supposed to, its just a place for everyone to spout their thoughts when someone says band x is better than band y, or that band m is overrated or something like that, since ppl tend to do it so much in the Stupid Things thread

Ringo is a much better drummer than some people say.

I find Coheed and Cambria to be very annoying.

:eek::eek:That really says alot.

I find alot of Tool fans to be pretentious.

Pink Floyd is not a good band without Sid Barrett.

(Don't hate me, it's my opinion)

I find Dream Theater to be pretentious and boring.

Hey... I just wanted to know... WHAT'S ON YOUR PIC! Since it's on, always try to see, but it's too small. I see it's rubber soul... but what's on their faces?

But because I'm wrong, it means neither of us are right. You're less right, though.

Oh, and I'm assuming this is a place where your opinion completely guards you? No disagreeing at all?

In that case, Jesus is a Lemmy-wannabe.

My brother and all his english-lit-major friends are Tool fans. They enjoy sipping red wine by a fire, while listening to Tchaikovsky and debating the state of the economy.

... I can see it now.

Tool have their fair share of unadulterated anger songs, too. I can't see "Crawl Away" being a scholars choice.

i find their music to be equally bad, but at least paramore doesn't ham it up.
plus, i associate an annoying fanbase with paramore, but at least they're not an annoying AND cluelessly pretentious fanbase.

Hm, I don't think I've ever actually talked to a pretentious Coheed and Cambria fan... well, one.

I'm a casual Tool fan. Every time I say that, someone always says, "Dude, that's not possible!"

I can't stand pretentious fans of any band, even bands I like and especially bands I don't like.

I think that if most of the singers in popular music died, honestly, no one would care, because there would be a legion of talentless drones to follow them in their path of mediocrity.

And I can't stand people who go "You don't like *insert pop-rock band here*?!? You should listen to them more, you'll like them!" Actually, I was really into pop-rock at one time, so yes, I've listened to them and yes, I don't like them. With pop-rock, you've heard all you're going to hear the first time you hear it. With other kinds of rock music, you hear this cool lyric here, or this guitar solo here, or how the bassline went, or other elements you missed before, and it gets better with every listen because of that. It just gets on my nerves.

That's not to say that I think that all pop-rock is bad. I do have a few guilty pleasures... that I'm NOT going to say.

Here's the Crawl Away lyrics I was talking about.

Crawled away from me. slipped away from me.
Tried to keep a hold, but there was nothing I could say.
Slid away from me. crept away from me.
Tried to keep it down, but there was nothing I could say.

What you try to say is you dont wanna play.
What you want and what you need dont mean that much to me.

I can see youre back is turning. if I could, Id stick a knife in.

Crawled away from me. slipped away from me.

This is love...
This is my love for you...
This is my love...
This is my love for you...
This is my love for you...
This is my love for you...
This is my love!

Say you wont go.
Wont go... wont go... say it.
Get you in a strangle hold baby.
Get it till you get it right.

What you try to say is you dont wanna play.
What you want and what you need dont mean a **** to me

I can see youre back is turning. if I could, Id stick a knife in.


It's very well written, of course, but like I said, it doesn't seem like something to listen to next to the fireplace.

Fair enough. I haven't delved into Tool a whole lot, but I was merely stating that a lot of the Tool fans I have met will bring up how intelligent and cryptic the lyrics are.

I could see a high-class scholar in a silk bathrobe sipping red wine next to the fireplace to that song, what are you talking about?

I like some Pixies songs but some I find very very annoying. Black Francis' voice can annoy you after while.
