Unpopular Musical Opinions

I don't have a particularly strict definition of grunge

and that's the problem with the big four and people who most commonly use the terminology. Don't add to the problem.

I am partly accustomed to the thicker side of post-rock (kind of the kind that's just wee notches away from being called post-metal), it's just that atmospheric and metal together doesn't really compute with me.

Actually, thinking back now, I've always wanted to hear some A Forest of Stars material considering I've heard a couple of tracks I kinda liked. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong direction.

A Forest of Stars is pretty awesome. Their debut is a lot more "Black Metal" than their second, which is bordering more on on a folk/prog/avant hybrid than a metal one, but it's my favorite between the two. Both are great albums, though.

Black metal?

EDIT: Forget this post, didn't see posts on the previous page.

Pearl Jam are a blues-rock band. Excepting curiosities like "Dirty Frank" and "Spin the Black Circle", of course.

I'd say Pearl Jam is just Alternative Rock.

You can just withdraw Pearl Jam as derivative and boring; as well as being one of the biggest precursors to post-grunge alongside Creed and Bush.

Ten was great and Vs and Vitalogy had their moments.

I still don't buy this "Ten is great" stuff.

Ten isn't bad at all, although Even Flow drags the album down a bit.

I find it boring, uninspired and quite underwhelming.
