Unpopular Opinions

Pettersson sucks lemur gonads.

A most satisfying and eminently invigourating activity.  Recommended.

Uh, guys, the Unfounded Opinions thread is down the hall.

Now, see, the very FIRST thing you need to do if you're aiming to get your opinion away from all those boringly popular opinions is to create your own facts.  Clears the field nicely.

This thread has the potnetial to be as popular as the WAYLT thread.   

Viva Chopin.

Opinions that are popular are absolutely worthless.

If the unpopular opinion thread becomes way too popular, it also becomes totally worthless.

We can call this thread WAYOUT (What Are Your Opioninated Utterances Today?)

Opinions that are popular are absolutely worthless.

A popular opinion in itself.

Composer who doubles as gonad expert. I wouldn't be able to tell the differences between a lemur gonad and a baboon testicle.

Size, as I understand it....

Viva Chopin.   

I'm with you, laddie!

Flash-freeze gnu's vomit, thaw, steam, serve on artisanal multigrain toast, and the result is æsthetically superior to Glazunov.

[Karl Henning]

Because just saying "I don't seem to care for Glazunov" isn't enough.

I see you hold Ditters von Dittersdorf on a far loftier level than Glazunov!

At least I know you are not just a sucker for anything Russian!

Beethoven's Violin Concerto and Brahms' First Piano Concerto are among my least favorite works by anybody, ever.

I've got a couple more:

Vivaldi is a great composer.

Mozart's early works are worth listening to.

SILENCE!!!!!   

Deafening, isn't it? 

[Karl Henning]

Mozart's early works are worth listening to.

How early? ; )

Of course, in a Cageian way, anything is worth listening to....

Are they unpopular opinions in general?  Which brings up how do you define or even know what is unpopular in general, or is it just among people you know, or does it just mean pieces which aren't that well known rather than unpopular?  Obviously some things have more acclaim and will take the limelight more, that's inevitable and doesn't have to reflect badly on lesser known works.
