Randomly Crap Out Your Opinions Thread

[FlyGuyLXI]

Don't really know Sonic Youth.

You're better off that way.

you just went full plebeian right there.

Screw Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are. Breed and Territorial Pissings were the best songs on Nevermind.

[LegendofRock3021]

Fix this. Now.

Agreed.

Screw Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are.

Those 2 are among the worst on the album.

Breed and Territorial Pissings were the best songs on Nevermind.

I like both a lot, but they don't beat "Lounge Act" or "On a Plain".

[soup567]

As far as Nevermind goes for me I divide the songs up like this:

Good:
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Come as You Are
Polly
Lounge Act
Something in the Way
Endless, Nameless

Meh:

In Bloom
Breed
Lithium
Territorial Pissings
Drain You
Stay Away
On a Plain

How in any way am I being common?

I stopped pretending to like artists just because they are "big" or "influential" or whatever those idiots at Pitchfork are raving about a long time ago. I mean in truthfulness, at one point I was indifferent towards them, but I've found myself disliking them more and more now with age.

I find them incredibly boring, even moderately pretentious alternative rock.

If you really do like them, fine by me. If you like them because and only because they are huge or influential then I cannot respect that.

I guess that's the crime of being capable of forming my own musical opinion.

Whether or not you don't like them, saying you are better of not having listened to one of the most influential and critically acclaimed (from both critics and artists) noise-rock and alternative rock bands is just wrong. What do you loose by listening to them? Compared to what you can gain if you enjoy them? Are you much worse off in life having heard Sonic Youth? I would say you are ignorant musically not knowing of Sonic Youth, are you therefore 'better off' remaining ignorant?
