[li]Ween – and the subsequent musical output of both of the principal guys in it – was terrible.[/li]
[li]Frank Turner is also terrible.[/li]
[li]Lana Del Rey is massively underrated and sexism is the #1 reason she isn't revered as highly as Sufjan, et al.[/li]

If Lana Del Rey looked like Courtney Barnett, she'd have multiple 9.5+ pitchfork rated albums.

I wouldn't say "terrible", but Ween's never done much for me personally.
Frank Turner is greatLana del Ray is so dull that I don't have any opinion of her music at all.

Are Alabama Shakes popular enough to warrant a hot take? That's probably a warm take. But you're trying, and I appreciate that.

If Lana Del Ray looked like Courtney Barnett, she'd be playing Jammin Java three time a year and getting no press attention.
Frank Turner makes music for 50 year olds who still think they are 30.
And Ween makes music for men and women who look like they do.

I really need to make sure I lock my computer at home… Evilsanta totally got his facts wrong. Monophonics are a psychedelic soul band from the bay area

Florence and the Machine is easily the least accomplished artist to ever headline a day of Lollapalooza… and it's all about selling out what the festival is about to sell tickets to women.

If someone doesn't want to get their sensibilities BURNED, they should stay out of the HOT TAKES thread, because some of these takes are downright PIPIN'.
