I see why grindy is on to you. Yes, this is a thread for unpopular music opinions, but not for forcing your opinion down everyone's throat. It's fair to say Westlife are great (as an unpopular music opinion) or Slayer are pansies, or whatever. But you're attempting to control or overrule the way everyone perceives music, which makes you, and I'll say it again, a dick. I actually think it's you that has the thin skin. I don't give a fuck what people listen to, as long as they don't try to force their opinions on me. It's you who's saying people should do this, don't be sheep blah blah blah heard it all before.

I've never listened to that Dio solo album, but that song kicks ass. I'll have to check it out. I don't remember if I've ever gotten your take on Killing Joke. Are you into them or nah? They get grouped into the post-punk lot, but they've written some pretty heavy songs: Being the awful irredemable conformist that I am, my favorite album of theirs is Night Time, when they softened their sound and started actually writing songs that could get radio play. It's the perfect balance of bite, bile and '80s (pun intended) hooks to me. Good enough for Kurt Cobain to rip them off, anyways (yeah, yeah, Killing Joke actually ripped off the Damned, I know) Last edited by SGR; 07-29-2022 at 07:20 PM. |

I've definitely heard a lot of righteous Killing Joke songs but I never gave them the full discography listen to really have too much of an opinion on them. Pandemonium definitely slaps though. And their self-titled. And their debut. Don't have too much more to say.

Pandemonium is a beast. They've got a really strong discography. I even love Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, in all its '80s new wave glory. Some Joke fans abhor it, but I think it's brilliant in its own right, even if it stands apart from their other works. When it comes to their early stuff, I don't know exactly why, but I always liked their second album What's THIS For...! more than their debut (which I suppose is an unpopular opinion). Their rhythm section was in TOP form for that album. It just pounds. |

Yeah I've listened to more than a few of their albums and always dug them but they have so many wildly different albums it can be hard to get your head around them and be in the mood to hear all of it at any one time. They're definitely a white whale band for me I've always known I need to put more time into.

Fair enough, I have plenty of white whale bands like that. Ashamed to admit, but besides Pet Sounds, I don't think I've listened to any other Beach Boys albums. Rush is another one, don't think I've listened to more than three of their albums.

Hating everything that is popular doesn't give you more character or personality.

Nobody can reach the hopeless dregs of my soul like Townes can. Maybe one day they'll make a pill for that.
Oh have you heard my theory that Pancho and Lefty are metaphorically the same person and the song is about how your cynical older self betrays your optimistic younger self?
