I like Reznor’s instrumental music.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

He did the music for the new Ken Burns documentary on Vietnam, tho I honestly didn't notice it one way or another.

This is a commonly held opinion and it's also super wrong!
Nah, it's right. Part if it is that Johnny Cash just makes fundamentally superior music to Nine Inch Nails.
The funny thing is I heard the JC version first so to me it is the original. Part of what seals it for me too is the video he did and Im not a video guy. Cash makes that song his, he makes it about him.

Also the first four Dylan albums are better than anything that came after. Not so much a versions thing, just a tic mark for acoustic music.
This opinion is super wrong
Nope. His electric stuff isn't nearly interesting enough to justify itself.

Dude, have you ever listened to 'Love & Theft'? Serious question...

EDIT: and what exactly does the phrase "interesting enough to justify itself" mean?

Your small batch honeydew pizzas are causing problems with your musical sense, imho
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

It's strange that my fave Dylan albums are the following three albums after those first four. Each to their own though. I like the first four albums but I wouldn't shout 'judas' . It's the same for me with T. Rex.

Yeah. Didn't like it. Also, his later raspy voice is a turnoff. I prefer the cleaner tone.

Pretty self explanatory: I don't find it interesting. Most of it would have been better acoustic. Most of the time I find myself asking why he even went electric if he wasn't going to make full use of it.

I'm certainly no folk purist—I just don't care about anything after #4.
