what's your music hot take?

Somebody That I Used To Know is a fucking garbage song.

Beatles are ehhhhhh. I acknowledge and respect what they did for the industry, but their music is so whatever to me lol

• people who say stuff like, "rap stopped being good in the 90s" or something like that, never cared about the genre, and only say that stuff because it has become acceptable in the sense they believe that they come across as more open-minded
• Bittersweet Symphony, or whatever it's called, is a bad song

Ah finally got my hot take

Gwen Stefani is an entertainer but is not a musician.

Depends on how you mean that.

No Doubt had some amazing music and they were a great musical act.

Gwen Stefani's solo work is that of an entertainer.

Never cared for No Doubt. I guess if you took away Garbage, Tori Amos, Liz Phair, PJ Harvey, The Cranberries, Bjork, Belly, Juliana Hatfield, The Breeders, and Natalie Merchant theyd be interesting.

1. Rakim
2. Big Daddy Kane
3. LL Cool J
4. Ghostface
5. Black Thought
6. Nas
7. Jay Z
8. Redman
9. Jada Kiss
10. Kendrick

counterpoint: none of those artists did ska, which makes no doubt (at least their first two albums) pretty interesting

Im about to have an aneurysm.

The posters in here who don't care about music are uncommon, but it's not unheard of. Plenty of people exist without consuming books or video games, and there are even people who don't watch TV or movies. Then think about things like theater where very few actively follow.
So I don't get why it's so bad people skip out on music.

I pretty much stopped listening to music all the time somewhere in college, thats over ten years ago now. For me music is an activity that you do by itself, if you know what I mean, as in I absolutely hate background music since its distracting so I never use a radio or have music on while doing something else. Since I like doing other stuff a lot more than just listening to music I rarely end up listening at all. At most I will listen to stuff for half an hour every few weeks to a few months or so.

I'm not a fan of bauhaus.

My answers are U2 and the Smiths are fucking terrible garbage and I am a huge fan of 80s new wave and alternative stuff

Pop Punk & Emo are in a Renaissance and arguably better than they've ever been

I cant think of any genre I dislike more than third wave ska.

Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal is awful and I much prefer the original.

Huey Lewis and the News's early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

Queen sounds (mostly) awful

Bohemian Rhapsody is probably the worst song of all time

Would say they're first two albums were much better than any of their mainstream stuff. Bohemian Rhapsody is way too incohesive.

If Tim Booth (singer from James and Manchester contemporary) had been the lead singer of The Smiths instead of Morrissey, they would have been one of the greatest bands in history.

It wouldn't take too much of a timeline tweak to have made it happen.

grunge is not classic rock and should not be played on classic rock stations

Current music is forgettable/sucks
