Also be nice, everyone. This is for funsies not fightsies.
Mine is that Prince is suuuuuper overrated and merely a meh songwriter at best.

It's okay to go though music phases. You're not a poser or a sell out, your tastes just changed as you got older and life happened. That is probably the most normal thing in the world. And I say this as a punk.
Also audiophiles are just weird, and I'm the type of guy to build my own obscure technology speakers (like DML/panel speakers) because I like the sound. They're very easy to grift. Though this is more of an ice cold take.
Hotel California is still the best song to try out new speakers or headphones, or DIY creations. And if it doesn't sound right, don't get those headphones or speakers. For some reason this just works.
Politics and music only mix well of the artist knows what they are doing. Listening to Dua Lipa try to sing a feminist song on future nostalgia was torture. She does not know how to write political music.
Most people don't know how pitch correction or autotune even sounds like. There are some breakout albums when a band got signed by a major label full of pitch correction on the vocals and no one cared and they still have their "100% real" reputation intact.
A recent one, everyone should listen to music from a DML/panel speaker paired with a subwoofer at least once. Even if the panels are made of cardboard or polystyrene, and the subwoofer is a cheap piece of junk, it's just a completely different sound. Maybe not the best or most accurate, but to have a whole panel of something radiate sound is unique. In general people need to try different ways of listening to music. And it doesn't have to be expensive audiophile nonsense.
Last couple of foo fighters albums have been unlistenable and Nickelback tier, as much as I like their earlier albums. Makes me appreciate the talent of Cobain much more.
Musicians and music listeners should DIY more. Maybe it's just my DIY punk side, but seriously there's a lot of beauty in it. Make your own band shirts. Modify your instruments. Plug guitars into weird shit (provided it won't break it). People are too scared of making mistakes these days. If it breaks it breaks :shrug-outta-hecks:. Better to try than do nothing at all.

Bunkers - Dizzy Rascal and Dua Lipa
My band is hitting the point where we're either doing shows that personally interest us, or DIY stuff. Around here, at least.
Based :07:
Do you have any examples?
Nearly anything recorded in the last 20 years has some amount of auto tune. Most people think auto tune is that weird vocoder shit. That's not it. Auto tune is exactly what it says: it tunes your actual voice or notes being played. It also takes away all inflection and natural imperfections and makes voices sound bland.
Once you hear it, you can't unhear it.
Yeah, ive even heard it in classical albums and it ruins shit so damn fast. People straight toning a note are almost never going to me exactly in tune, and in fact composers using that as colour is a key technique.
It was all over the Into the Woods movie, absolutely hated it
One of my favourite bands and albums, but Rise Against - Siren Song of the Counter Culture. So overproduced. But it was their first album on a major label (Geffen I think) and they thought they would be tossed in the trash afterwards so I can understand it.
For classical this song is Charpentier'sTe Deum. Once at equal temprament, once at original.
Isn't that used as the Eurovision TV network theme, and has been the opener for all the Eurovision song contests?
That could be why, many are familiar with it.
The opening march yeah. The whole piece goes for 20min though. Not quite as comprehensive as something like Mass in B minor but it goes through a lot of Baroque subgenres.
Whatever you do, do NOT plug a 1/4" guitar cable into the speaker output on your little 15 watt solid state Gorilla amplifier, put a 1/4" to 1/8" headphone adapter on the other end, and hook it up to your sound card's input jack. (Or in my case, my Amiga's outboard DSS8 sampler.)
This reminds me of when my friend wanted to plug his electric guitar directly into my speakers lmao.
try post punk
