I used to love this thread in the old forum.

Bring your hot takes.I'll start.

Loveless by MBV is an insanely overrated record.

Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood isn’t a good book that I happen to dislike. It’s a shitty book that sucks, and people who like it are wrong.

The Clash have a few good songs but basically suck.

HP Lovecraft is rubbish.

89-92 Faith No More supposedly had the cheesesteak thing going: all the components are shit, but in this case they come together right. In fact they do not. It’s just nasal white man voice, cocked wah guitar, limp overhyped 80s rock drums with no swing behind them, slap-a-da-bass and a wash of disco strings, and they suck even more for being in the same place and time together.

Martin Scorsese should have just been a Broadway choreographer. At least then his gaudy musical taste would have made sense in context. Slow motion is a corny effect that nobody should ever use.

I feel like I shouldn’t keep going because this is kind of my schtick here?

Seeing Bob Dylan live is only slightly less exciting than a Catholic wake.

True.

Also true about The Clash and Jagger. And Scorsese.

I must add I find Led Zepp boring nowadays, while Black Sabbath to me sound as good as ever.

"Talk about the weather" by Red Lorry Yellow Lorry is a better song than 99% of Joy Division songs, which isn't saying much as most Joy Division songs sound like half-realised jams with a singer who seemed wierdly reluctant to ever stray more than a tone from the note he started on.

Also, agree about Loveless.

While I love JD, I understand somebody may find them ultra boring.

*raises hand* (OK, I like 'Warsaw' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' has a good melody.)
