Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The band released their first album over fifty years ago… as with all music time moves forward and that which was once the future becomes the past. Delete all the music released in the past four or five decades that came after them from your head and then listen to their albums. They’d probably seem quite refreshing and interesting. (For what it’s worth I’m not a fan either - but props where they’re due)
its fun to look at old music and think of it poorly but to realize that when it was fresh it was so different that it defined a generation, that is something else
Im not a fan of Queen but I am old enough to remember their songs being new and they were a force of nature. That generation fucking LOVED them. So much so that the songs listed above are played daily in sporting events and other cultural gatherings.
You are not wrong… on a tangent I remember the first time I finally listened to a James Brown album and wasn’t massively impressed. Then I realised I knew most of the tunes from sampling. Samples on my favourite albums.
