i'm just saying, but it's a fact that the flaming lips aren't that original, they are good at borrowing from other styles.

plus, this is the UNPOPULAR musical opinions, everybody loves dinosaur jr, so what if a couple of us actually think for ourselves and realize we're not that into them anymore?

There's something about Neutral Milk Hotel that bothers the hell out of me, and I don't think it's the music, because I don't really care one way or the other how it sounds. Maybe it's the lyrics, because it's just a bunch of nonsense that gives the illusion of having some deeper meaning but probably doesn't because the only people I know who listen to them usually tend to like lyrics and writing that are really just a bunch of meaningless crap.

Now I'm not saying that every batch of lyrics ever written needs to be mindblowing, because it's really about HOW you say something rather than WHAT you say if you get my drift, and some of my favorite songs have the most useless sets of lyrics to go along with them, but these lyrics aren't pretending to be good either.

Right now I am just going through some sort of phase where I really don't want to hear and understand lyrics because few people can actually write them well enough to please me, so I've tried listening to more foreign music that I can't understand the lyrics to obviously (because I still like to hear certain kinds of voices), but also more instrumental music so I don't have to worry about liking the voice either, because now there is none, and that makes everyone involved happy.

You're distracting me from my essays but really I don't want to write these essays anyway.

Dude, re-read my post. I didn't say you can't not like them. I was only making a passing comment about how many times I've seen you guys post the fact repeatedly in this thread. Chill the fuck out.

You don't like Dinosaur Jr. No one should judge you less for it, I know I don't. All power to you.

Carrot Rope is a brilliant song and fills me full of joy.

oh man :( I'M SORRY STEVE. I STILL LOVE YOU.

I actually stopped caring very much about Sonic Youth after they released Daydream Nation. Before that, I loved them to bits but after that ... they sort of became just another band in lots of ways.

I also find something really irritating about Thurston and Kim, but I can't quite nail down what it is.

I think I just 'outed' myself right there.

Well they're crap if that's what you're getting at.

I think you might've just nailed it right on the head there.

I like The Killers Sam's Town (This will get me punished, but is the truth).
Justin Timberlake makes me want to Dance, I brought SexyBack.
I don't see the big deal about My Bloody Valentine.

Dionne Warwick's voice is better than Aretha Franklin's.
The Clash never did it for me either.
Johnny Rotten is more annoying than anything. The stupid intimidating look that he puts on makes me want to feed him turds, more than scare me.He's not even as clever as he thinks he is.

"My Love" was the best song of last year

YES!

i find the clash so godamn annoying.

I'm not a big clash fan but they left their mark in music history.

The Clash were allright.

Their last record is less sweet. And Bianca is soooooooooooooo beautiful.....

Regarding Neutral Milk Hotel, I don't understand why they're deemed high because I think their music really sucks.

Very unpopular opinion on this board: I like War, Under a blood red sky, The unforgettable fire, The Joshua tree and Achtung baby by U2.

[quote=Nefeli]cocorosie are coming for gig here, but i m bored. they are quote]

I agree. Their voices sound like cats demanding food. Throw in Johanna Newson in there too.

Sorry CocoRosie fans but I think they're poseurs and their music is pretentious and annoying.
