Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Music

Just go on his Twitter.

I used to not be a fan of the man, but a couple of plays of I Get Wet and perusing his Twitter made all that change for me.

He's an insanely nice guy who makes some pretty good music.

I don't think there is any one band or artist that is truly timeless.  Sure, people say that The Beatles are timeless, or that Elvis was timeless, but I don't think so.  I mean, Beethoven and Bach and all them were supposed to be timeless right?  But I don't really think they are.  Sure, there's a good amount of people that look to them as an influence, but as time goes on less and less people know who they are, much less actively listen to their music.  Things fade over time, and music is no exception.

There will always be people that will listen to and be great fans of Beethoven or The Beatles or Led Zeppelin, but none of them will ever be truly timeless.

I find the term "timeless" just refers to what decade the music can be listened years from its release and still appreciated. In that aspect, I think all good music is timeless.

The only shaky music is bubblegum pop because it isn't made to be anything but in the now.

This!

"Pull Me Under" is a really cool song. There's a reason that it's Dream Theater's only hit when Rock Band isn't considered.

timeless reminds me of the phrase "instant classic"

give it a couple of generations before calling any music classic.

Is it just me, or are most of Richard Cheese's covers far better than the original songs?

If any of you caught the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame inductions, can you tell me if Dave Navarro was included with RHCP? It seems weird that only certain members seemed to be included in the induction since Cliff Martinez was included but I don't think Jack Sherman was.

They should have played Funky Monks for the full band jam at the end. Give It Away doesn't lend itself well to that sort of crowd.

[Foggle]

Didn't even know it was happening.

I'm pretty sure Sherman wasn't inducted because Kiedis hates him, or something like that. No idea about Navarro.

[Avaitor]

Neither were included.

[Foggle]

Neither were included.

Fucking stupid. Sherman and Navarro were both great in RHCP. Especially Navarro.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Neither were included.

Jack Sherman contributed to their first two albums, and Navarro contributed to some of their biggest hits. Picking and choosing who is relevant to a band is pretty despicable.

Then again, T. Rex still isn't in. So this isn't surprising.

They also didn't let Dave join them for Metallica's induction, even though he wrote pretty much every song on their first album and like half of RTL.

If it wasn't for Dave, they never would have gotten off the ground. What bull.

If there's any justice, this will be next year's inductees:

T.Rex
Rush
New York Dolls
YES
Megadeth
Nick Drake
Iron Maiden
Linda Ronstadt
