And I'm not saying this as a fan OR a non-fan; I've never really listened to much of his music. I just know that he has a good reputation as a music producer (and even those who may not find all of his work good AT LEAST find it interesting or challenging/different in terms of hip-hop that came before he was around), for both himself and other artists, regardless of what he may be like personally.

UYI July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 I know '90's country is considered a golden era for the genre, and rightfully so (especially for women country artists back then), but I really think I enjoy listening to '80's country just a little bit more, and I KNOW that's at least a little unpopular (certainly the Urban Cowboy era, but that's not the whole thing by a long shot!). There is so much that seems to be either underrated or overlooked from that decade in terms of country music, and compared to the decades that came immediately before it and immediately after it, it seems to stick out a lot less (with a few exceptions, of course). But there is actually a lot of great/fun stuff to discover from that time period, and just as many great women performers and musicians to find out about as there are from the '90's. Then again, I'm a relatively newer country music fan in general; I only started seriously listening to it these last few years, so for me, finding the great stuff from the genre is a brand new and fun experience no matter what decade I look into (I won't even make a joke about the current state of country--yes, mainstream country radio isn't the best place to be now--especially if you're a woman, AHEM--but if you dig deeper, you'll see how many great artists there are out there). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/38110-unpopular-opinions-about-music/page/12/#findComment-4541666

And Karen Fairchild from Little Big Town (and compared to her blonde band mate Kimberly Schlapman, she's considered the stand out, so there's that!), and Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum. And I think the blonde trifecta of Carrie, Miranda and Taylor at least had talent in their own ways that made them stand out. The problem was that country radio got stuck on them and only them, hair color preference or not. (OTOH, with Taylor now a firm pop star, her spot seems to have been taken by the equally blonde Kelsea Ballerini--and it's not an upgrade, either.) And, for what it's worth, the two best selling country female artists of all time are both brunettes--Shania Twain and Patsy Cline.

AgentRXS August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 "Friends in Low Places" is probably more popular as it is the quintessential bar song. The subject matter for "Thunder Rolls" isn't exactly a picker-upper, but I still think "Thunder Rolls" being the better song wouldn't be an unpopular opinion, at least among Garth fans. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/38110-unpopular-opinions-about-music/page/12/#findComment-4602081

Joe August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 I don't like that people seem to think that Immigrant Song is the only piece of music about vikings ever. So they want to attach it to everything viking. There's a whole subgenre about vikings! It's called viking metal. I have a top five! Einherjer, Bathory, Skalmold, Enslaved, Tyr. Plus one album by Therion. Then there's the lighter more folky side, stuff like Wardruna or Heilung. I could go on, but won't. Immigrant Song isn't bad as such, people just need to expand their viking horizons beyond a 50 year old song.

proserpina65 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 I hate Garth Brooks' music. All of it. I don't know if this is unpopular, but I had to express it: I'd never heard of Bishop Briggs before I heard her cover of Never Tear Us Apart, and I really wish I'd still never heard of her. Her original stuff didn't thrill me when I heard it, but that cover is a crime against humanity.

Hanahope August 28, 2018 Share August 28, 2018 I was reminded about Drake while watching Stephen Colbert talking about how Drake wants to trademark "God's Plan." It reminded me of that awful song of his. "blah, blah, blah, mumble, mumble, mumble, God's Plan, God's Plan, God's Plan." Seriously, people like this? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/38110-unpopular-opinions-about-music/page/12/#findComment-4626985

I pretty much hate every Drake song, & have no idea why he's so popular. And speaking of "God's Plan", the video is like nails on a chalkboard to me at the beginning. That guy screeching whatever it is that he's saying just makes me want to throw something at the TV. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/38110-unpopular-opinions-about-music/page/12/#findComment-4627899

Yes, I know this was quoted from back in February. But I found the halftime show from U2 in 2002, so shortly after 9/11. Still think it was one of the best, even if it is now cool to hate Bono/the band. That's my UO! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/38110-unpopular-opinions-about-music/page/12/#findComment-4628207
