Ya'll know and I know Barry Gordy was a hand wringer. "My Gosh, political/protest music what are the white people gonna say."


Yea, I said it, dammit. Whatcha gonna do?

That's why Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder rebelled when they did. They basically said "fuck you Berry".

I would say that they are actually popular opinions - kind of defeats the purpose of this thread.

I agree that "Rapper's Delight" sucks Yes,I realize the importance of this song,being the first really successful rap song and all,but the rhymes are so silly and juvenile.And it never ends! The song goes on forever.

Controversial opinion:

Michael was indeed the ugliest Jackson before his nosejobs.

Sorry, but its true.

Thriller, Bad are MJ's pure creation considering the demos he created , Wincy clones is out.

Celine Dion was always a better singer than Shitney Crackston.

So,you're saying that Tito was better looking than the pre-Off The Wall Michael?

"Until the End of Time" is better than any album Pac released when he was alive

Donna Summer is much more talented and concistently put out better music than Diana ever did.

All of Diddy's albums are really good.

Kanye is a musical genius and the best artist of the 00s.

Danja (Timbaland's protoge) is better than Timbaland.

Dolly Parton's IWALY is better than Shitney's version. Actually, all of Shitney's covers are shit. Just like her.

SoulAlive said:

Yes.

They all looked better than Michael. He was not cute.

Quincay gets way too much credit.

Michael iconpgraphy is a result of:

1. Michael himself
2. Choreographers & music video directors
3. Other people who wrote his HITS (Temperton, Riley, Botrell, Garett, Kelly)

Quincey's part in the whole thing is questionable. I'm still not quiite sure WHAT he "produced." The demos sound exactly like the finished products.

what does he do besides talk over a lame repetitve beat and use autotune

The only Time albums that matter are the first two.

"Fly Like A Bird" is the best song that Mariah Carey has ever done.

The Temptations' "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" and Smokey Robinson's "Crusing" are two 'classic' songs that put me to sleep.

It's a miracle your mother hasn't disowned you.

TD3 said:

I fall asleep listening to Radiohead..I dont get it...

I agree with Just My Imagination..the only one I like is Prince's SMall Club version..and I also don't like I Cant Get Next To You..corny...

Can't stand it when MJ does Beat It live

I dont like Baduizm or Mama's Gun...

Never really listened to Van Hunt..Im scared he may bore me

Was not feeling Maxwell's last album as much as everyone else

Sade album was SO NOT BETTER than Elixer...

The only reason I dont like the Four Tops is because they are not better than the Tepting Temptations.

Everything the Beatles did before Rubber Soul just about sucked

SoulAlive said:

And dammit, you might be on to something regarding The E.N.D..

I hate, John Coltrane's, "Love Supreme"

'Bout 4 mintues into it, I'm ready to jump out a window.

SoulAlive said:

I was telling someone that the other day, For me its not the best song but definitely One of the best, Its the best song on the "Emancipation of Mimi", Its melodic.

FOr me the Best song is " Melt Away"

John Legend is Boring as hell...Overrated.

sleepyq said:

I win this one!

sleepyq said:

I kind of agree - he was never ugly, but all other siblings (except Tito) were better looking than him. It's so annoying when people say "he was so handsome when he was black" - no he wasn't, he looked better natural but was nothing to shout about. On the other hand he in my opinion looked the best in the 'in the closet' video - but i think that had more to do with styling.

SoulAlive said:

I agree - one of the best but 'everything fades away', 'do you think of me', 'til the end of time' and 'all i ever wanted' have a special place in my heart.

Janet tits are small

SoulAlive said:

I don't think that's unpopular among the classic rappers of the New York scene who thought the Sugarhill Gang were a bunch of fakers.

Craig David HAS no talent.

=0P

mancabdriver said:

I personally thought he was better looking with any of that surgery, and BTW, I personally thought he was weird looking during Bad, sorry. I will say that at this point, Marlon and Jackie are the only two male Jacksons that look decent, especially Marlon.

sleepyq said:

Actually I agree about Dolly Parton.

I know ya'll probably being sarcastic about it, but I really find Dolly's delivery emotional,,,,,to me, its more soulful than the plastic acrobatic version by Nippy, and I love the latter artist more.
