Disco was fun,exciting and uptempo.Today's bland R&B can't compare.

After reading some of the responses i can attest that
there´s unpopular opinions and there´s just plain BAD TASTE

And I think you just won first prize for most unpopular opinion

someone had to say it

Most people don't care about your opinions (unpopular or otherwise).

True,but I'd like to see your opinions anyway Come on,write em down.

With the exception of a few songs,Prince's 'ATWIAD' is a disappointing album.

D'Angelo has talent,but he's somewhat overrated.

Whitney Houston should quit singing and get a role on one of the daytime soaps.

Earth Wind and Fire is my favorite band,but I think it's time for them to call it a day.

Covers albums suck! I feel the same way about "tribute" albums.

Madonna is still the smartest person in pop music.

Mariah Carey should work with producers Thom Bell,Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and make some REAL soul music for a change.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for Prince to work with a producer on his next album.

that album is a fan favorite,so it took alot of guts for me to say that

SoulAlive said:

There was a discussion on the org some years ago where people were saying that ATWIAD, Parade, and SOTT hurt his carrer more than they helped it. I agree 100%.

Adisa said:

I agree,too.When Prince released ATWIAD,people were like "wtf?" They thought he had lost his mind,lol

SoulAlive said:

ain't that the truth.
both are artistically null and a waste of everyone's time

Adisa said:

they should call up Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam,too That would be a hot show.

so you are saying that songs like "Billie Jean" aren't musically great but only became a hit because of MJ's image?

Heartland Rock SUCKS

80s, 90s and 00s Country SUCKS (despite three or four artists)

American Mainstream Pop is DEAD

Rock N' Roll is DEAD

Blues is DEAD

Diana Krall SUCKS

European, Asian & African pop music still innovates and entertains...

The best artists/bands of the 00s decade have been British or (of course) New Yorkers...

SoulAlive said:

i think i'd say Madonna is "media savvy" rather than smart. or on that "subject" she's smart.

Hip-hop is NOT to blame for R&B's demise

There ARE socially conscious, thought provoking, MCs out there, but if you're expecting them to get radio airplay that's WHY u don't know them. long live the backpacking underground!!!

Radiohead, Coldplay, The Beatles AND U2 are all overrated

Lil Wayne IS the most overrated artist of at least the last 5 years

Prince being produced by someone else is antithetical to him being Prince

Patti Labelle never had a great record, singles artist

Timbaland is mad talented ('f' dat)

Simon Lebon is a great singer

Depeche Mode should get credit as pioneers of electronica

Gladys Knight is way better vocally than Diana Ross

Faith Evans over Mary J. Blige

Although it is a misnomer, "Neo Soul" does have INTERESTING artists

Joe, Tank, Jaheim, Tyrese, Ginuwine are all interchangeable

Boyz II Men should STILL be selling multiplatinum albums

so should En Vogue

Wanya Morris' is the "obvious" solo record that never happened (when one considers the history of vocal groups)

Eminem's record sales would be a third of what they are if he weren't white

SoulAlive said:

I think he said she was coming on the cruise with them along with Tango from UTFO.

datdude said:

As would Justin Timberlake's.

datdude said:

this is ridiculous

talented in what ?

creating lame repetitive beats using computer software ?

any fool can do that

why not ?

elmer said:

frankly i think every song by them sounds the same

'the edge' (btw what a pompous twat you have to be to call yourself that)

only ever plays in the same style always

Patti Labelle screams too damn much.

Snow was a pretty decent reggae artist/rapper


Red Cafe is boring as hell and needs to go back to wherever it is he came from.


Jaime Foxx is a mediocre singer/performer and needs to stick to acting.


The Game is an ungrateful summabitch!


Keyshia Cole has brought old school soul back for the ladies.


Digital Underground was just okay.


Do You Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart is one of the best disco songs EVER!

Dewrede said:

Aww I LOVE Bjork and Tori Amos...two of my faves!

As for unpopular opinions...

Ace of Base is the best pop band of the 90s.

=0P

-Mariah Carey has recorded some of the worst albums ever released with a major label.

-Neil Young's 80s albums are so bad and bizarre that's it's a miracle the guy made a comeback in 1989...

-The bulk of Hendrix albums are full of weak songs: not exactly filler, but certainly forgettable songs...

-David Bowie > Bob Dylan (in terms of musical value/legacy)

-Bruce Springsteen should retire the E Street Band and focus on his folk/roots side...

-Lenny Kravitz should be in a fuckin' band; the guy needs the discipline of a band, he runs out of ideas quickly; in addition his voice is fuckin' average...
