Unpopular Opinions

*AMC

 

I don’t think that is an especially unpopular opinion, although their very first album (four decades ago!) was decent enough.

 

The second album wasn’t bad either. A brief renaissance when they covered some reggae classics pretty well then a slow decline.
I really liked “I think it’s going to rain today”, great sax near the end.
They’re no C0ldplay though.

 

One really good song (1 in 10), a couple of reasonable ones and then what appeared to be a succession of so-so covers.
Good band name though.

 

Unpopular or not... Joy Division / New Order are the greatest musical act this country has produced in the last 45 years.

 

Bit harsh on Steps and 5ive.

(Only kidding, fully agree).

 

Agree but with a minor tweak. FTFY.

 

Both very valid shouts, great acts.

 

Unpopular TV opinions:

Breaking Bad was generally a boring show, albeit one with some epic moments.

Also never really liked the Walking Dead. Struggled through the first two series and it already felt like Groundhog Day, so I gave up.

I watched the Gilmour Girls when my wife was watching it and expected to hate it. It is actually very high quality TV.

 

After season 5 and 6, both reviews and viewing stats tailed off considerably.

 

It's actually amazing how globally known UB40 are. You will hear them in South America, Small African villages and the Caribbean. Their reach is truly global.

 

Agreed, with a minor tweak.

 

Dammit, you got there first.

Completely serious though, 5ive are the best Boyband.

 

Sounds like a contagious disease.

 

Couldn’t name one of their songs => nothing to hate them for => yes, probably my favourite boy band too.

 

You spelled "Radiohead" wrong.

 

Never really liked the Cure, but can recognise that they were a great band.

Don't think they really broke new ground like JD / NO did though.

I did see Robert Smith at Kings Cross about 15 years ago - coming out of the Eurostar exit. Fully made up and hair all done at 7:30am - hats off to him.

 

That's a lie, not an opinion

 

Quiz: Am I Delusional?

 

Backstreet boys newer stuff is actually quite decent

 

Just listened to some of their less famous songs for the first time in about a decade. Some absolute bangers. Thank you

 

Waking Dead was excellent up until around the Negan stuff, then it suffered from being a ratings winner, but having no ideas left and got milked to death like a lot of American shows.

 

You mean the “Backstreet middle aged men”?

 

‘Fun’ fact: in Germany they were known as ‘5ive Funky Boys’.

 

One for the teenagers here :

Mike Batt is an underrated musical genius

 

“Wombling merry Christmas” is a great song. One of the best Xmas songs. Genuinely.
“Summertime city” is also a great uplifting tune.

 

His production of "Little does she know" by the Kursaal Flyers is another great choon.

 

Just recycled rubbish.

 

Very good !. I've seen what you did there !
