Unpopular Music Opinions

To even put him in a musical sentence with people like Ariana Grande or whatever, is like blasphemous lol.

I guess my unpopular opinion is that I'm still so, so confused why Jeff Buckley gets more props than his Daddy. I guess I kind of get it, Grace is one of those albums that comes to mind when I think of what 90s music "sounds" like (as someone not old enough to have experienced it), along with his untimely passing & lovely voice. Just can't help but feel like Tim is just as awesome, if not more so.

Yeah, Tim >>>>>>> Jeff
Jeff also had a great voice, but his music was kinda sucky.

I would’ve much preferred to see Miles or Prince in a normal setting but not together stepping on each other’s toes

Miles had some weird hang ups. One was that he hated rockstars but also wanted to be one.

Prince was a super talented musician and a great song writer and performer. And it’s true he took on many influences with fantastic proficiency. But he wasn’t a jazz great any more than Miles was a pop star.

Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see. He is another one I personally can not stand. Right now, he off trying to replace Jerry Garcia in Dead & Company. Great, a guy I don't two ****s about about joins a band I don't bother with.

Damn dawg. Really going after the sacred cows.

iwrestledabearonce's cover of "Uprising" is better than the original by Muse.
Sorry not sorry.

Mayer's debut album is decent college-radio pop with a jazzy edge at times. Most of his other stuff just kinda went in one ear and out the other when my ex tried to get me into him. Might be some gems scattered around if I revisit it at some point.

Adrian Borland committed suicide by throwing himself under a train. A review like this was probably the final nail in his coffin.
