Taylor swift is good

Isaiah Ojeda

Trench by Twenty One Pilots is one of the best albums of the 2010s

JAMIE WELFORD

michael jackson is extremely overrated

Isaiah Ojeda

Adrienne Lenker is on par with Bob Dylan as an all time great songwriter

gavin

Current underground rap is over hated. (coming from someone who grew up in the SoundCloud era)

Cynthia

Graduation is one of the most overrated albums of all time

Josh

Either purposely or mistakenly, in the future people will come to think that Drake didn't lose the beef with Kendrick by as much as he did

teddy9012

The 1960s is the greatest decade for music

Giovie

Country music is amazing when the artist isn’t maga

drew

the new strokes album is REALLY good

Moses Alti

Nirvana was the worst out of the big 4 grunge bands (Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and of course, Nirvana)

PlasterCactus

Kanye is a more influential artist of all time just ahead of MJ

Flyinglizrds

Try And Love Again is the greatest Eagles song of all time!

Matthew Zemp

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison is better than any Beatles album by far

Braeden Terpstra

Saaheem by Sahbabii is the best trap album ever made, not a single miss

Zach okum

Genres are, for the most part, dead. With how many artists are widely loved and known now compared to the physical media and radio heavy eras of the 2000s, and how diverse artists and bands sounds are becoming, it is extraordinarily hard to categorize so many artists who may sound similar but each break typical industry genre standards. Also trying to box artists into genres is lame! Idk maybe I’m too online and I’m a nerd. Shit am I a nerd? Okay.

Matthew Zemp

Maynard James Keenan is the greatest lyricist of all time

Sam Denison

slayr is the best producer in the game right now

Cameron Gertonson

2026 has been the weakest year of the decade for new music

Lennon Riley

mgk's first punk album was okay

Mikey Alexander

Real country music (George Jones, Willie Nelson, George Strait, etc) pre 9/11 was actually some insanely good songwriting. Now it’s beer, truck, USA

Smithy Dunkles

Rap/Hip Hop is easily the best music genre and I will go as far as to say that all other genres are unlistenable besides RnB.

Matthew Zemp

Layne Staley is heavily overrated as a vocalist and is the worst of the big 4 of grunge

Vace Diesel

Music genres are completely made up to restrict creativity and divide fans. Music should be identified by vibe, not some technical BS no one agrees on 🤷

Dylan

David Berman is the greatest song writer to walk the face of this planet

Kira Wise

If an artist releases a song with the same name as another song that I already know and love, I probably won’t like that song. There should be a rule against naming a song the same thing as an already existing popular song.

Taylor Troxell

Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith are the best songwriters of all time

Ben K

Drums would sound better if the drum sticks were cinnamon sticks from pizza hut and the drums were actually made of pizza

Dylan

The Jam are the best band to ever come out of the UK and the fact they never broke through in the USA is one of the worlds greatest travesties

Austin G

Gracie Abrams is the best pop artist currently working

dylan mannlein

The Glow Pt. 2 is a good folk album, but nothing more

wednesday

romance is far and away fontaines dc's worst album

Dylan

Billy Joel might be the most overrated musician of all time, boring boring music

wednesday

also just because a song is rock music and you know some dads who listen to it, doesn't make it dad rock.

Kyle Cahill

Self producing makes your music better

wednesday

3D Country >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Getting Killed

wednesday

the strokes only have enough good songs to fill one album, and they don't have any albums good enough to be called a "classic". much of their discography is julian's tuneless warbling over instrumental performances even arctic monkeys would write off as too generic.

ethan 🦫

Marvin Gaye is the greatest vocalist of all time

Diego Sanchez

it’s okay to find new music on tiktok

Ben Toy

Out of all the major hip hop cities Philly has the most diverse sound (Chicago & Detroit being a close 2nd & 3rd). The fact that Black Thought, Uzi, and Meek Mill are from the same place is just funny to me when comparing the music. Even newer artists like Slayr & Skrilla are making the blend of sounds even crazier. I don’t even know if this is a positive for the city considering how the general public continues to value regional rap less and less as time goes on. What do you guys think?

lindsey

the 70s is by far the best decade for music and i wish they would play more disco in the clubs

riley

Mac Miller is far and away the best white rapper of all time. Like it’s genuinely not close

Vace Diesel

Also it's crazy that I was literally brainstorming hot takes on my way to work for the next hot take video just a few hours before this post 💀

Swampp

the music i make is good

brahesh

screamo fuckin blows

brahesh

denzel curry is a top 50 rapper all time

Teddy Oline

"Stomp clap" music from the 2010s got much maligned because of soulless artists hopping on the trend and vast overplaying on pop radio and gentrified overpriced millennial American restaurants, but specifically Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers in their prime made phenomenal music.

Goldilocks

Navy Blue is currently the best lyricist in rap.

Noel

bladee makes the best music

ian

Vampire Weekend are better than The Strokes

max

i like this one

Percival S

Wait this is highkey a heat take

Matt Schaefer

Men of a certain vintage say how everything changed when Appetite for Destruction by Guns n Roses came out but to me it sounds virtually indistinguishable from all the other hair metal groups of the time like Crue and Leppard.

Sophie

An artist will be perceived to be cooler if they‘re from an English-speaking country that isn‘t the US

t Brody

Slayr is the most exciting artist in the “rage” scene right now

Ell

Music shouldn't be released posthumously

smashleydee

Hit em again, comrade 👏🏽

javKK Hewett

Rap is treated like a stepping stone to "real art" and that's why we r seeing white rappers transition to other genres, or seeing rappers in general move on to wildly different art forms

javKK Hewett

Slowed+reverb is valid and so is Nightcore, music should be viewed through as many different lenses as possible and one of those is fast and sounding like Alvin and the chipmunks r singing it

javKK Hewett

Carti is dumb as hell for not releasing the metal/rock versions of whole lotta red, easiest money ever, and they're good ASF too

javKK Hewett

When the songs of heaven are sung on the day of the rapture, nlechoppa will be in the choir and I'm tired of acting like he won't be

kath :)

If you can’t sing well, you can’t be a singer-songwriter. Sorry Bob Dylan, but you can’t carry a tune at all. You’re a great poet, but you’re not a singer-songwriter imo.

Jackson Wells

The new Matt proxy album is not only better than JPEGMAFIA’s most recent album, it’s better than JPEG’s first “Black Ben Carson”, as I think Matt proxy has potential to eventually top JPEG’s other albums

willowtheworm

devi mccallion and ada rook were the best electronic duo of all time

finch !!

concept albums are great but lore that semi popular bands have stretched across albums is literally just stolen from fan theories online then forgotten about when they make something new . it makes what could be a cool interesting storyline into something unfinished and fractured that means nothing to its creators but every modern alt band tries to do it because it worked for twenty one pilots

joan sebastien

NIN hurt > johnny cash hurt, BUTTTT johnny cash personal jesus > depeche mode personal jesus

DavidBoner

Benny the Butcher's Tana Talk 3 is the greatest rap album of all time

Gee

🤎👃💋🍑

Florian Fabiunke

The weekend is pretty over rated. I do think After Hours and Don FM are good albums, but I have not been able to get into any of his other albums, especially Hurry Up Tomorrow. Could barely finish that album i thought it was so boring. He's definitely got some hits, but most of his songs just do nothing for me

Bethany

Incorporating longer songs (6-7+ minutes) into our listening rotations would be good for us as a collective. So many great long songs that are lost on public ears because of outside influences shrinking our attention spans. i feel like this would both shine light on songs that require the time to tell their stories and simultaneously Fix Our Brains.

Elijah Green

Cassadaga may just be the best Bright Eyes album. Stands out as a unique spot in their discography with its weird mysticism and heavier lean into Americana

daniel white

Denzel Curry is the best artist from the 2016 XXL Freshman class

Wind

gate keeping music is an annoying thing. so what if an artist isn’t underground anymore, don’t you want them to get successful as a fan? plus music is a magical thing that brings people together

selenaflows

true music enthusiasts listen to (and keep up with) non-english-speaking artists

TheExtremeKitty

British music has a generally higher average standard of quality/feels more listenable and less grating

TheExtremeKitty

(in comparison to American (specifically US) music)

reece rowan

the trend of shorter songs and albums is actually good as long as it’s quality over quantity. nobody wants to listen to another drake album full of over an hour of malarkey

Neongekco

1st and 2nd wave ska (50s-80s) is as good as if not sometimes better than reggae. Modern ska/ska punk (90s-today) is as good as if not sometimes better than pop punk. People only think it’s corny because of the weird modern day relationship with horns in popular music. If people looked past that, they’d find a lot of amazing (and very politically active and influential!) bands.

Toupee Reno

All of Bob Dylan's best work is in the 21st century

Olivia Cait

one direction would be considered the modern day beatles if it wasn't for misogyny

ember

idk if this counts but a friend sent me this after the hyperpop bracket "i need u to use your influence in the hivemind patreon to let riley know how much i personally hate him for not letting 5g by brakence get out of the first fucking round"

t Brody

There are no misses on the booty tape by ugly god

Tony

The single is an incredible method to release music and the music industry's usage of them as nothing more than a tool to promote larger projects has unfairly changed their perception, even though some of the best releases in music history are stand alone singles

Claire

indie isn't a genre, it's an editing/production philosophy

Sillybird 1513

the grateful dead are the best and most culturally important/ influential american rock band of all time

Zacp

Guns N’ Roses sucks and is the same thing as everything else from it’s garbage era. Slash is mid

Henry Ford

The playlistification of music is probably one of the most problematic topics regarding music today: simply choosing the "best" or "most catchy" songs from an album removes the context that surrounds the album itself.

Elliot Ball

British Rap music > American Rap music

maya

dismissing big pop artists like taylor swift, gracie abrams or olivia rodrigo doesn't make you cool or edgy, it lowkey makes you pretentious. not that you have to like their music or can't voice harsh criticism, but acting like there are artists who make 'real' music and ones who don't, creates some non-existing exclusivity.

maya

solar power by lorde is a banger album and deserves more appreciation

Ethan Provençal

genre essentialism often makes the hardcore/punk adjacent scenes exclusionary in a way counter to their ideals

aaron judge

2020 Bladee and 1965 Bob Dylan would make an exceptional album together

Dawn

my tummy hurt

Note

Bob Dylan is a better songwriter than singer, and his voice kind of ruins his music

Katy Cat

Morgan Wallen should be blown up

David

Rockin' the Suburbs by Ben Folds is one of the best albums ever

mentholbackwoods

Punk is only good live, and it’s really good live. Anywhere else like the car or headphones it’s miserable to listen to.

mentholbackwoods

Pop punk/hardcore/emo is actually enjoyable in the whip, headphones etc., some of my favorite music of all time.

Cam C

Brat wasn’t that good. Charli has a handful of better albums (how I’m feeling now & Crash are)

sandy clay loam

adrianne lenker’s solo music is better than big thief

Sarah Kates

Mac Miller is the greatest white rapper of all time

Justaguy

no album should be made to be over an hour (this is not the same as removing songs from an album that is over an hour to make it less than an hour)

Limk GMG

Shedeur Sanders will end his career as a more successful musician than NFL player

Canaan

music videos are a dying art form and it's quite sad to see.

Emma E

EDM is better when girls make it

wyatt

Drake is the most overrated rapper ever

Beck Ralston

There is no one "best Beatle" at least in the context of their music together as a band. The best thing about the 4 of them was their amazing musical chemistry and ability to write and perform together.

Bobby Flay

black artists make better music
