I never said he wasn't talented. I just said his voice sucks
lol lol lol lol In other words he should be a writer not a singer.

If you want danceable modern music, go to latin america. Not all of it is good, but there is enough to pack a floor with actual dancing.
Not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I love the Mills Brothers.
I really like Springsteen, but not from the 80s (he came out with an old time country/bluegrass album of traditional songs recently, and it is amazing).
On to concert music.
I rather like Wagner.
I think that Shoenberg was one of the worst things that happened to western music (not that his was terrible, it just set a bad precedent.)
It is a shame that more people did not imitate and build on the style of Gershwin.
John Cage does not deserve to be called a composer.
I am going to chime in again, this time on rock music, these are more unpopular opinions here.
I love the first 30 or so seconds of AC/DC songs, but then that guy, or the guy who replaced him, starts yowling away and I just can't go on.

I don't think Bob Dylan was really that talented of a songwriter (don't get me started on his singing). I guess he really did resonate with the culture though.
I feel much the same way about Led Zeppelin as I do about AC/DC.
I love Queen.
I love the song Dream On, but nothing else by Aerosmith.
Pink Floyd is great, but Dark Side of the Moon is over rated. (I prefer The Wall).
Mark Knopfler was the greatest rock guitarist to ever live. Good songwriter too.

IIRC, Eddie Nichols started out as a jacket artist to punkers and was paid in pizza - one slice per jacket. Sounds like someone desperate to be part of a scene if you ask me.Royal Crown Review just does not do it for me. Everything they do seems to be a copy of a copy of a copy of something.
I'll up the ante from hate to ignore. Being booed is at least attention. Even that, in show biz, is a privilege.2 comments: First, I think every performer worth his or her salt understands that it's any audience member's prerogative to hate them. If your feelings get hurt by being booed off the stage (not that this usually happens, but it can) then you're in the wrong business.

I like over-produced, insipid pop music. Especially by fake bands!!
The Rolling Stones. I'm just not a fan. Plus Mick Jagger is one ugly man and is not aging well.
lol Yeah I can see this being an unpopular opinion here. Awesome!
Hmmm..so many I can write down here..but I'll say Phil Collins and Mariah Carey for now.
lol lol lol
You are cracking me up, rue!!!! And I think we have pretty much the same taste except for Queen. Unpopular opinion: I LIKE QUEEN! I also don't mind the Stones during their 79-81 period. Anything else = bleh.
More unpopular opinions:
I like Asia.
I like Phil Collins (I get so much crap for this lol)
I think "We Built This City" is a great song.
Can't stand Sinatra.
Never got into Nirvana, even though they were the "spokesmen" for my generation.
I often judge modern music by the image of the band.
I loathe Janis Joplin.
I'll take the Boswells over the Andrews, too. I can't stand the Andrews Sisters.
I think Sister Rosetta Tharpe is the best guitar player EVER. And she's buried around the corner from where I live
