Unpopular Music Opinions

[verb_to_trust]

Literally could not imagine someone listening to Neil new live show "Way down in the rust bucket" and not thinking he is the greatest we've ever had.

It's so good

[Simple Torture]

Or Bill Callahan, for that matter. Or Songs: Ohia.

That entire Sad Folko Dad subgenre is an immediate turnoff for me

(This is not a personal attack on Simple Torture)

Hey, I'm just seeing this now. No offense taken! I'm a sad dad so it works for me.

I guess I put Shepherd in a sheepskin vest in there, but otherwise no. I kind of think of him as like Jim Jarmusch with a guitar

Do you really think Shepherd is a sad-o record? I think it's got some of his happiest, most hopeful lyrics on there. He talks about love and marriage in a way that's full of joy. There's plenty of death and shit, sure, but I think especially on that record it's framed in terms of acceptance and wonder, awe even, at the enormity of it all.

oh i agree with all of that, I just wouldn't object to Jorge lumping it in with the other stuff based on a cursory listen

Oh, for sure. The great first discovery listening to his music is his sense of humor and wistfullness.

I am not going to argue any of these points about Molina. About 40% of his songs are about mythical bird creatures who drink human blood. Enough said.

I would love to know what the selection criteria was for putting Roxy Music and Nickelback on the same compilation.
