Unpopular music opinions

This also reminds me that I love it when the older artists can do the song better than today's "talent."
Johnny Cash was an example here:

I guess I pretty much like all types of music from all kinds of artists spread across many years. Some more than others, of course.

But it actually has to be music. Not some collection of random grunts, shouts, clangs, bangs, discordance and obscenities played against the sound of a needle tearing up vinyl and a bass beat that's measured on the Richter scale.

Much of today's music, and I use the term only for a reference point since it's not, has sunk to the same moronic levels that (un)reality TV has. The lowest common denominator has never been so low.

In my opinion, Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins suck canal water.

Those were the next two low lifes I wanted to mention.

Trent Reznor, who wrote the original, doesn't consider it his song anymore, but Johnny Cash's song.

I really think Michael Jackson is beyond overrated. Nuff said!!

I can't stand NIN/Trent Reznor anything. Music, attitude, ego... no thanks!

The Beatles are a quadrant of Clydes compared to this class act....

From Ask.com....
By 1964, Dino, Frank, Sammy and the rest of the Rat Pack's martini-swilling lounge sound was out of synch with the Rock n' Roll now dominating the Top 100 Billboard. Dean in particular, resented and despised anything rock n' roll, which created conflict at home with his fourteen year old son Dean Paul Martin, who like many teenagers in the Western world, worshipped The Beatles. Tiring of his son's infernal boasting of how great the Beatles were, Dino told Dino, Jr., "I'm gonna' knock your pallies off the charts". Quoted from Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams by Nick Toches. Having not had a hit for six years, Dino Jr. rolled his eyes, and simply cast the prediction off as nonsense and forgot about it. That is until August 15, 1964 when Everybody Loves Somebody knocked the Beatles off the Number One slot on Billboard. Dino smugly remarked to Dino Jr., "I told you I'd knock your pallies off the charts.". Dino Jr. stood there speechless and gazed at his father in utter amazement, wonder, and with a newfound idolatry. Dean Martin became the only person in history to ever predict he'd knock the Beatles off the charts, and actually succeed.

Following the song's peak at the top of the charts, Martin sent his close friend Sinatra a telegram saying "THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT". Dean sent a message to Elvis Presley "IF ONE OF US CAN BEAT THE BEATLES -- I'LL DO IT!!"

The only difference is that when you fall down now you get up walk away and laugh. The next day you feel sore. At 18 you walked away laughing and didn't feel a thing the next day.

Speak for yourself old man

The sounds quality is bad but you get the idea.

Cash was smokin' hot and not bad on the eyes when he was young either

 

[rue]

I've been picking up a lot of great facts, too.

I know! It's great isn't it?!

I can't stand NIN/Trent Reznor anything. Music, attitude, ego... no thanks!

I feel the same way.

How could you not love Deano? He was class all the way, even when he was being bad

That's how Cash nailed that song---without attitude or ego. Hell, he lived it!
I think you have Trent living next to you from that neighbor thing.

One of my friends sent me this link in response to a statement I had made, and it's pure comedic gold. The lyrics, video, and the fact that he's actually serious...I...I think my cheeks hurt from laughing. I'd heard the song before, but I'd never seen...this.

I've seen it before and it is pretty funny. I think this makes Mr. Wagner's point for him. lol

Johnny Cash is in a class by himself. Great clip, and good to see another of my favorites, Tex Ritter!
