It's all a matter of perspective.

Sounds like you've been humbled. However, the machine marches on. Either drop out or own your inner-prick (feminist interpretation aside).

I don't really have unpopular opinions. I keep them mostly for the internet, 'cause I like challenges, they never happen, and I am too apathetic, distracted by other things to really care.

Yes sort of piss me off for nabbing one of the best band names ever and completely fucking it by making boring music.

they have the best band logo ever too

i smoke a lot of weed otherwise they probably would bore me

Yeah, their logo is brilliant, and their album covers.

They should've called themselves something rubbish though, like The Golden Pyramids. They don't deserve a name as good as Yes.

I have to confess I'm not sure what constitutes "popular" musical opinions anymore. I feel pretty out of the loop.

Thing about Yes is the irony isn't it? They are supposed to make very complex and progreesive music that will stimulate your senses and appease all the audiophiles of proper musical taste.

Yet, they ended up sounding redundant and boring much of the time.

I don't like Soundgarden.
I don't like Rush.
I enjoy The Sounds and The Libertines.
I can't listen to SYR 5 or In The Fishtank

Rush are one of the worst bands ever.

(Of course I can say this with authority, as I have heard every band EVER. Psh.)

I'm not sure if the Yes comments are unpopular here, but they would be with lots of people I run into at shows and record stores.

I love Rush, but I'm used to all the backlash that comes with being a Rush fan. oh well.

In The Fishtank is pretty bad. I talked to Thurston about it like a month after it came out, and I got the impression from him that he was pretty unhappy with out it turned out.

SYR5 is kind of like... but it took me 8 years!

What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
