I share your opinion. Does that disqualify it as unpopular?

SQs #2, and #10 in that order, followed by the rest.

Why should it? A perfectly valid statement.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Ah, if two of us hold such an opinion, it is gaining popularity 😁

Bach's solo organ works are better than the ones for harpsichord.

Sacrilege!

I still like Bolero.

I really like the Boléro too, though it's far from my favorite of Ravel's works.

There should be more recordings of Renaissance & early Baroque music on modern piano.

There should be more recordings of Romantic piano music on Hammond organ.

There's unpopular, and then there's deranged.

I don't love the sound of the Hammond B3, but I'm game for recommendations on Fender Rhodes. :P

I post about, Mister Howard Beale in the movie the network 1976 it was shredded, I think mister Beale is speaking  honnest, not a madman on psychosis. This was my unpopular Opinion?

I love The network fantastic movie from 1976 Micheal Holden  his giving it all he can, his persona is incredible confrontational, I like the guy, I''m sorry  :( :'(

Sometime I feel like mister Beale an old nagger, geezer revolted, is it so wrong and abject  ???

Classical music lovers (probably an unnecessary qualification, as this probably never happens out among the "laity") in 2021 who get off on bashing Schoenberg are in a time warp of their own luxuriance, and need a damned hobby.

Didn't some Art Rock bands in the 1970s (ab)use Beethoven and Mussorgsky? They probably used a Hammond or similar contraption.

I stop listening to the Eroica after the funeral march most of the time. I am very much not one of the enlightened souls who understands the finale.

It's not supposed to be understood but to be listened to.

I'm one of those guys who uses "don't understand" as a polite euphemism for "I didn't like it", hah
