Toto is trash and the whole Weezer meme needs to ****ing not.

I can tell you that ICP has a diverse and huge catalog spanning across 3 decades still going and I bet you'll still not explore it based on the small sample size you've heard.

Fair or not, that's how it's done.

May or may not be an unpopular opinion around here.
I honestly can't really gauge that.

Toto IV is a good album but I'm not a fan so I couldn't say. If Unknown Soldier ever makes it back he'll rip you a new one while Ant holds you down.

Shut your whore mouth. Africa is class.

what he said is they were pretty much crap, not that they didn't do anything outside Africa

I think Toto recorded most of their material outside of Africa actually.

Yeah, anyone could say this about DEG and he would say "what? You don't know them!" etc.

Google Translate Elphenor to English: "I love The Residents so don't diss them but I hate Toto so have at them."

Welcome back Frown. You were missed.
No, actually, that's a lie.

I totally trashed Toto based on listening to Toto IV. I'm just a bad boy like that.

I'm paying my dues right now here on Spotify, trying to find the good music they've done.

My opinion about ****ting on bands is that there's no rules. If anyone doesn't like Dir En Grey, go ahead and say your worst. I've never complained about that, but I have disagreed. Those are two different responses.

I'd agree with your stance to a point, but I would also say don't **** on it if you haven't heard it. In other words, I might think, say, The Fall are crap, or hate ELP, but unless I've listened to a few albums I don't think I have the right to form an opinion like that. Seems a little ignorant. I'd just say I don't know the band but what I've heard (if anything) hasn't encouraged me to get to know them.

Critics called The Empire Strikes Back trash back in the day too.

I agree, except this is the "unpopular music opinions" thread, so I think it's very constructive to be a total ass for the purposes of getting a little action going

Further in my defense, I still haven't found some more Toto that I like (still listening).

In a time when the movie tastes of grown ups hadn't yet been wholly infantilized, it was a pretty ****ty trend setter.

EDIT: Wow. My snob levels just broke the barometer.
