Ask me about my hot takes (I want your hot takes, too)

[HomespunEffects]

I got hot takes concerning music. Lot's of them. You don't agree. I'm ok with that.

Examples:

• Presence was Led Zeppelin's best album (followed by Houses of the Holy)
• Randy wasn't Ozzy's best guitar player (Jake was, followed by Brad Gillis)
• I hate Rush (because of the vocals)
• I have never listened to an entire Guns n Roses song (except the one time I forgot my earbuds at the gym)
• SRV's tone was generally pretty crappy
• I hated STP but liked Talk Show which was STP with a different singer
• and many, many more

Don't mind me, I actually hate everything.

Nothing Face, Rage for Order and Pretty Hate Machine were the three best albums of the 1980s.

I see you @HomespunEffects

"Hate" is a strong word for Rush / Geddy, no?

 

[HomespunEffects]

Too Dark Park, Becoming X,

It's good being seen.

Maybe hate is a strong word. I just don't like them. Some of the riffs are cool but those pretentious lyrics and screechy vocals ... eeehhhhhhhh.

 

[HomespunEffects]

Too Dark Park and Becoming X were the two palatable albums from the 1990s.

Best friend lent me a couple Rush albums when I was 14 years old.

I knew nothing about the band, so had no preconceptions as to who or what they were.

I enjoyed the records, but I remember thinking "there is something really strange going on with this lady's voice".

I'm not sure they knew what they were writing. They were heavily "experimenting" at the time. I do hate the Mordor and Gollum references which brings me to another, albeit non-music related, hot take; I can't stand Lord of the Rings, the movies and books are so boring.

I had this epiphany when I was 8 years old and stick by it to this day! That is my hot bake from my EZ Bake Utility Muffin Research Kitchen oven ;~))

I do like a lot of the Zappa stuff. However, he did get really pretentious and released every little thing he recorded, even if it stunk.
Mother @ Roxy and Elsewhere is probably my favorite thing he's done.

You may want to do some research regarding the thousands of un-released pieces that is in the Zappa vault ;~)) He died with more un-released material than most artists would dream of producing in their lives!

As for pretentious, he most certainly was that. He would force his bands to practice for months before he would even show up because he did not want his time wasted on them learning the complex material he was tasking them with. I also vehemently disagree with his hypocritical and pretentious stance on drugs. When asked about his cigarette (drug) addiction, he pretentiously countered that it was not a drug but was instead, food! Cute but he obviously knew that he was being a hypocrite ;~))

Anyway, there are sections of his work I have no interest in listening to (but do recognize his artistic talent in creating it), but from a perspective of musical genius, nobody has ever topped him in my mind!

Can we get a translation

It's sexual in nature, as is everything with zeppelin.

RHCP=Led zeppelin (same=same)

SRV's tone was generally pretty crappy

Not just tone, he's probably the only guitarist I can't listen to because he's making me physically uncomfortable. I have no idea what it is but every time I tried to listen to his music it just made me nervous.

My mother dropped me on my head when I was little, so take this with a grain of salt
I’d rather listen to Geddy sing than Freddie
