Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

[Enaz Fox]

Randy Holden > *.metal

That’s a completely different point than what you originally made because I’m pretty sure Holden only played a part in Blue Cheers third album but I’ll play

Blue Cheer may have been first in the beginnings of the genre but in no way were they more influential than either other band mentioned in the scope of things. It’s ok Clint, you can be wrong

Stooges are still pre-punk imo. Same as MC5 and Velvet Underground.

Pioneers of punk are The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Slits, The Dead Boys, The Damned, The Jam, Siouxsie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex.

Don't forget Richard Hell and The Heartbreakers!

Oh and for another hot take. I don't get the deal with Cake? Seems like its just an even more boring version of The Modern Lovers and because of Cake we got that Hobo Johnson fellow. At least Hobo has enthusiasm.

Man I'm just puzzled by this. I love The Modern lovers' first album and I like Cake but I'm struggling to see the connection. Oh, is it just the talky vocals? Never tried to connect them before.

Edit: oops, sorry, covered, RSR!

 

[Clint Howard]

Hot take: I'm done listening to @Clint Howard musical opinions

Man, that hurts. And it's the scars on the inside that take longest to heal.

All Radiohead albums would be better if they cut out a song or two

 

[Enaz Fox]

Heavy Metal is the worst music genre and the 80s are a black hole in rock history because of it.

I... I... just don’t even know (I mean hair metal sucks and if that’s what you were alluding to I agree but metal in general?)

I’d say modern pop-country takes the cake for me of stuff I just can’t even attempt with.

In Rainbows is a subpar Radiohead album

But Randy Holden's amps went up to 11~

Prince discography stopped being amazing with Love Sexy. Nothing after that is relevant or memorable.

Heavy Metal is the worst music genre and the 80s are a black hole in rock history because of it.

What about all the other incredible rock in the 80s though? Or do you just mean that metal is so bad that it overshadows it?

Most modern rap is completely forgettable and will not last the test of time.

I think this is true of every genre of music at any time. It's Sturgeon's Law: "90% of everything is crap."

This take is ice cold. At least I hope so.

Oh, I love this kind of threads because i can say all my unpopular opinions and get roasted!

-Yoko Ono's discography is better than the discography of any Beatle.
-Amy Winehouse is admired just because she passed away.
-In 30 years, we will think about Taylor Swift as we do about Joni Mitchell now.
-Emotion is better than 1989.
-Spice Girls were the most influential band in the last twenty years.
-Hanson are actually VERY GOOD. (well, that's not a hot take, just listen to their last albums without prejudices)
-Bob Dylan is overrated.
-Seal makes good albums.
-PJ Harvey has been doing crap in the last ten years. I guess she's bored or tired.
-Robyn is incredibly overrated.
-Madonna and Marilyn Manson can retire now.
-As much as I hate living in Argentina, I am grateful because we don't listen to any rap or hip-hop here. in exchange we get a lot of trap and reggaeton, which is a fucking cancer to music.
-Weezer is a great band.

I was referring to heavy metal (I guess this is how I always called Hair Metal) not metal as a whole. Heavy metal such as Saxons, Skid Row, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, poison, Bon Jovi, etc...

All?

Also the king of limbs is worse than all of thoms solo albums, even tomorrow’s modern boxes.

Haha, man, just when I thought @Clint Howard was running away with it.

Edit: Hmm or are you lamenting the fact that most people don't talk about Joni Mitchell?

I was challenging you to put your money where your mouth is

The awfulness of hair metal and its commercial appeal overshadows all great rock music produced in the 80s
