Your most controversial music opinions

I didn't know anyone actually read or enjoyed the those massive unwieldy list books. Obscenely redundant to have a massive uniform list of approved albums in the age of music streaming where you can listen to one song you like and get a bunch of 'artist influenced by...', 'artist who influenced...', 'fans also liked...' shouts bowled straight at you.

I've never taken too much notice of who wrote what, but I'm listening to Grand Prix now & McGinley wrote About You and Verisimilitude, so I'm certainly not gonna slag him off!

Raymond is great, but of the three songwriters in TFC he's the George Harrison.

Can’t listen to PYT knowing is was probably written about Macaulay Culkin.

The other problem is that Jackson's music is much better. Turns out it was easy to stop playing Gary Glitter songs

Wasn't Glitter also fairly well-respected before he was nicked?

Both my brothers were big GG fans. I wasn't, so I like to remind them on a regular basis.

What is? The dullest Stones album? The turning point when they became a dreary rock band rather than a creative rock'n'roll group?

Fucking Hell. Close the thread. 

[Gnomicide]

We're all at it.

Depends what you mean by respected really.

He toured the country every December doing his rock'n'roll gang show in arenas......big crowds.

'Exile' was my go-to album before heading out on a big night out. As I haven't had a big night out in over a year, I haven't listened to it in a while!

Oh, and 'Happy' is also the best Stones track!

Mind seeing it at Glastonbury though

Fucking incredible

I came into this thread to mention Ummagumma was recorded in Erdington because so many of you live near Boldmere/ Sutton Coldfield and came to find everyone talking about nonces...

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a list. Great lavatory reading.

Fuck yeah. Does it get any better than that? I had a tear in my eye that night - I wasn't expecting them to play it!

It is still very wrong for me to belive that "Fool to cry" is the greatest Stones tune.? There it is, It is.

While I don't think it's their finest moment I do love their soppy seventies philly soul pastiches.  Have you heard Memory Motel off of the same album?

Sid Vicious based his entire vibe off of Keith Richards on the cover of Black & Blue.

Don't wanna sound like I'm showing off - but I actually got this joke straight away.

Not a tune I was particularly familiar with, I am now. It's OK, not as good as Fool to Cry.

Puts me in mind of Magnolia for some reson, somewhat contemporanious perhaps..

 

Not very controversial
