Electronic music has revolutionized every genre of music and heavily analog instrumental music has been stale and stagnant since the early 90s. People joke that the mainstream, big room EDM of today all sounds the same (lately, I'd totally agrre with this) yet most of the rock and country that has come out since the early 90s that hasn't embraced electronic music is dated and generic.
You could play any guitar, drum, piano based song from the last 20 years and you wouldn't be able to tell what year it came from.
Another unpopular opinion is that vocals are unnecessary and often distract from the potential musical genius that takes place behind them (Im looking at you, Kanye).
Seriously though, I'd kill for Kanye West to put out an instrumental album.
