I've been meaning for ages to make a thread entirely for random atypical opinions I have on classic country, but I've been putting it off because I didn't know if there was really any sort of audience around here for it. Then realized I could just do it this way instead so here it is.
Don't think I'm in a mood for any huge tangents right now so not going too heavy right off but...
Ring of Fire is probably one of Johnny Cash's worst songs. His singing style really doesn't fit with the horns at all and he sounds completely disinterested in it compared to a lot of his other music. I've kind of tried and tried to like it over the years but I really just... don't.
For a non-classic country one I actually like Styx quite a bit. They're stupid and they're cheesy but they work for me. ... Though Mr. Roboto is terrible.

Be here now by Oasis really isn't as bad an album as people make it out to be IMHO.
I also think that Reroute to Remain by In Flames is a pretty underrated album.
Going briefly back To britpop..
Modern Life is Rubbish is so much better than Parklife when it comes to Blur Albums.

Nothing Else Matters is pretty much Metallica's worst song.
Also, Enter Sandman is played out as f***.
I say these things as a hardcore Metallica fan. They're my favorite band.

Led Zeppelin is one of the most overrated bands ever and Robert Plant has one of the most unlistenable voices ever.
Phil Collins was a better lead singer for Genesis than Peter Gabriel.
St. Anger is better than Master Of Puppets and speaking of Metallica, Cliff Burton is badly overrated.
Pearl Jam is the worst of the Big 4 of grunge by a country mile.
Rage Against The Machine has never had a good anything.
Mayhem has less impact on the style of black metal than Bathory, Samael (early), Immortal, Emperor, and Darkthrone.
Powerslave is Iron Maiden's best album.
Rick Rubin is one of the worst producers of all time purely based on the sound quality of many of his albums.

Axl Rose is super overrated. His vocals sound like diet Janis Joplin, and had it not been for the talents of the other GnR members no one would know who he is.

Raekwon is merely the 4th-best rapper in the Wu Tang Clan, after (in order) GZA, Ghostface, and Inspectah Deck. (Note: Being the 4th best rapper in the Wu Tang Clan does not mean you're not a top 50 GOAT.)
I find Madlib's beats completely unlistenable.
El-P should just make beats for Killer Mike to rap over.

I often see it said that Shrek 2 has a good soundtrack, but it's... Pretty awful. The Buzzcocks cover is lifeless and dull compared to the original, but far worse is the Holding Out For A Hero strips out the amazing piano work for a generic techno backbeat. Every time I see one of those "covers better than the original" posts I'm utterly dumbfounded.
Fairytale Of New York isn't a great song, and I'm glad it was beaten to the Christmas no. 1 by, as the ever-classy Shane MacGowan put it, "two queens and a drum machine".

The Megaman 2 Dr. Wily stage 1 theme and The Moon from Ducktales are both extremely overrated.

The whole thing about "Logic is trash" going around is just a meme. He's not a bad MC at all, it's just that one verse on French Montana's "Twisted" had corny bars.
I'll second preferring Collins over Gabriel.
There's a lot more musicality and interesting song crafting in the modern "mumble rap" scene than some old school hip hop fans assume (and really the term "mumble is inaccurate, as there's only a handful of new-school rappers with a mumbly delivery while the rest are more diverse than that). Like Uzi and Playboi Carti, they're not freestylers at all, but they know how to make some very catchy flows and hooks. It's not inherently inferior, it's just a different style from the past.
Coldplay is frigging amazing and I never understood why they got mocked. Some of their stuff like True Love, Speed Of Sound, Life In Technicolor II are gorgeous.
Madonna's Ray Of Light is an overlooked classic.
I like the modern, dance-funky Arcade Fire (Reflektor, Electric Blue) over their early garage rock.
KoRn and Limp Bizkit are still guilty pleasures for me. They go back to my high school years.
Theophilus London is so underrated.
Queen's Hot Space is a great album.
I don't think "fast rap" is necessarily a better style. I like Joyner Lucas when he isn't doing that, because he doesn't need to.

The Megaman 2 Dr. Wily stage 1 theme and The Moon from Ducktales are both extremely overrated. I wouldn't go that far, especially with the moon theme, but I will say that the Dr. Wily one isn't even in the top 3 of best songs from the game it's in, so I am sort of surprised it's as beloved as it is.

By how some people talk Limp Bizkit were completely awful but they have some absolute bangers. Also their cover of Faith by George Michael is great never understood the hate
Ed Sheeran is probably my least favourite music artist right now. Unmemorable bland music, awful singing, awkward rapping, terrible look...but yet he’s massive so what do I know. Even my least favourite artists or bands I have at least one song I like but nothing from Ed.

Even my least favourite artists or bands I have at least one song I like but nothing from Ed. Pretty much agreed, and I'd say the exact same thing about Drake. Absolutely nothing about him says star power to me and I've never heard a song of his that's been any better than instantly forgettable.

I love James Labrie's vocals.
Megadeth > Metallica
In Through the Out Door is a pretty good album.
I'm not a fan of Bruce Dickinson's vocals.
