That's jokes 
I mean personal life really depends on the genre, because there is a big difference between newschool rap and ambient, or jazz, or Beefheart-rock. |
To me, personal life and music are two totally different things. A shit human being can make good music. An amazing human being can make boring mediocre music. I care about music, not the person. Burzum is a great example.

Very much agree.

Given the dearth of lists that seem to feature it, it's apparently controversial if I say that In These Silent Days is one of the best albums of the past few years.

'(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To'... is the best Weezer song.

Agreed. It's probably my least favourite of their albums overall, but contains my favourite of their songs.

This song holds a special place in my heart, so it's definitely close to my favorite Weezer song if not my favorite. (Though I'm by no means "ride or die" for Weezer).
I won tickets to see Weezer back in 2009 after hearing this song on the radio and then calling into the station. Or... I almost won tickets, after I connected and was talking to the folks about logistics before being put on the air (I think?), I drove through an area without cell service, lost the station, and while I was driving without service I heard the DJ giving the tickets to someone else 
This led to 2 fairly substantial changes in my life:
1. I practiced way safer driving practices lol. I stopped using my cell when driving, from then on I'd always pull over until eventually I got a car with Bluetooth/hands-free.
2. I became an absolute MACHINE at calling into radio stations after this. Between 2009 and 2015 I must've gone to dozens of free shows. That was the golden age of concerts for me, I still enjoy live music but not as much as I used to. I think maybe I burnt myself(/my ears) out. Still haven't seen Weezer yet.
So this leads me to my maybe controversial opinion? Concerts are better when they're free/spur of the moment. The anticipation is huge when I get $100+ tickets purchased a year in advance, only to see the band play in a huge stadium with awful acoustics. Some of the best concerts I've ever been to were day-of decisions to see an unheard of band simply because I had $30 and an open Friday night schedule.
Also maybe controversial: outdoor acoustics are better in public parks than in sports stadiums/arenas. I definitely don't have any science to back this up, so I could be legitimately wrong, but that's my impression.
