and It's fashionable but seriously Nickelback sucks ass
seeing how kim wrote next to nothing for the pixies that shouldnt be a surprise. she co-wrote gigantic, thats it. but i think pixies are better than the breeders. either way cant wait for the new breeders album.
I think this comment wins, hands down. I see I am not the only one who dislikes Nirvana or U2, but I think Green Day deserves the (dis)honor of being the most overated bands in the last 20 years.
thank you very much for picking me as teh winner (i guess) for saying that i would rather see Michael jackson than Pearl jam in concert. of course i have seen Pearl jam like 20 times and jackson never. from what i was told by people who saw Jackson in concert they said that it was great. i trust these people views on music. they all liek Pearl Jam but say that Michaels shows are so entertaining and the musis is fun. what more do you want in a concert. Like EV once said " i am tired of screaming" liek i say "sometimes i want just pure fun"

Oh, you just don't like them now cos they're successful
(note I get you were joking) Green Day WAS HUGELY SUCCESSFUL in 1995 with the release of Dookie. Enormously so. It was very uncool to like them at my high school because they were so successful. I saw them play a free show in boston in sept 1995, put on by the local radio station. This station would always throw free outdoor shows feature semi-popular or local bands. So they booked Green Day before they really "broke" but months later on the day of the show, they were WAY bigger than expected. I think like 50-100,000 people showed up for this thing, and they were totally unprepared- there was like no security, traffic was screwed up in the whole city, the trains were blocked...green day played for about 10 minutes and fled the stage because the sea of people started to rush it. after they left, there was like a stampede (this is just an open area park mind you) dozens of kids were airlifted to hospital! It was honestly pretty scary, I had to run to the river bank and once over it I lied down and covered my head until the crowd passed.
anyway, that's my green day story. a little off topic .
Vitalogy overall is not very good.. Some good tunes with some bad filler.
Sergeant Pepper is not the Beatles best album. Huge Beatles fan but I find I never listen to this album, I much prefer any other album by them.
Stairway to Heaven is not Zeppelin's best song. It's seems like a nerdy song some kid obsessed w/ Lord of the Rings wrote, but great solo.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest guitarist ever to walk the earth. There might be more skilled guitarists, but no one can hit one note and give me chills the way SRV does.
Ringo Starr was a non-essential element to the Beatles. Most of the songs he sings on are filler and he could have been replaced by any other drummer.
Phish studio albums are better than the live performances many times. I don't need a 30 minute version of Tweezer.
I love the Foo Fighters albums but Dave Grohl's live singing (screaming) is on par w/ seeing Billy Corgan sing live....i.e. Shit Sandwich.
Radiohead peaked w/ The Bends.

you know kings of leon aren't english right? and neither are the strokes or interpol?
Yeah,that's why I said Kings of Leon AND Libertines AND every other English band(as in along with the Libertines).I probably should've phrased it better.

Oh.....and even Staind have made better albums than VS! That album is a sham
haha
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
I only like 5 tracks off of Sgt. Pepper.....it's my least favourite Beatles album and in terms of song content very weak.....
I can't stand how Bob Dylan's voice sounds these days and his latest records such as Modern Times and Love and Theft are average at best and have got nothing on his 60s/70s work despite the ridiculous amount of praise they recieve.....
I prefer Tom Waits to Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.....
I would like Oasis if Noel was the singer.....Liam is a brainless twat with a godawful voice.....

1. Pearl Jam is a fantastic band, but would have been just as sucessful if Andy Wood or Chris Cornell was the lead singer
2. Eighties rock never fails to put me in a good mood
3. Michael Jackson is a legend, personal issues aside
4. Genesis is among the greatest bands to listen to when you need to mellow out
5. Bruce Springsteen is fantastic, but I wouldn't pay to see him if the E-Street band wasn't along for the ride
7.My Morning Jacket is the future of rock

1. I doubt this. How successful was TOTD compared to Ten? I think a lot of people bought TOTD because of "Hunger Strike" and they were anxious to hear any song with Ed singing. I remember being one of these people.
2. I agree. Best feel good music ever!
3. Agree
4. Used to like them more, but can't listen to them now. Don't know why. I can see where you're coming from though.
5. I might agree with this. I haven't had the opportunity so I can't say if I would. However, I got "Live in Dublin" with the Seeger Sessions band and it is fantastic!
7. Maybe. I don't know their music well enough. Saw them at Bridge and they were ok.
i think wu tang's '8 diagrams' is as good if not better than anything they've done before and pushes the boundaries of hip hop in a way not seen since outkast's speakerboxx/love below.

I agree. Bon Jovi was my first favorite band back in 8th grade or so, so they have a big sentimental/guilty-pleasure aspect for me. Of course now I'll admit that 90% of their catalogue blows, but honestly there are a bunch of individual songs that demonstrate some great songwriting. But nobody's heard most of those.
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

When I first read this I thought it said "velvet revolver". I was thinking maybe we should give them a few years first.
Kim Deal's best stuff is not with The Pixies
Nine Inch Nails SUCKS

Kings Of Leon as well as the Libertines and just about every English band of the last few years are cheap imitations of the Strokes and Interpol
Billy Corgan is not arrogant and if he is he has evry right to be

Jimmy Chamberlin is the best rock drummer since John Bonham.
The Beatles are the most important band ever.
I agree with these 100%.
BUT, they have inspired some amazing artists after them.
wow
He is great and very underrated.

Super Furry Animals' 1st two albums are among the very finest of the 90s.
The Charlatans one of the most under-rated bands of the last 15 years.
Some people think they're cooler if they say their favourite PJ album is 'No Code', when really it's 'Ten' !!!!!!!!
PJ albums, at the moment!! -
1,Vs 2,Vitalogy 3,No Code 4,Yield 5,Ten 6,Backspacer, 7Pearl Jam 8,Binaural 9,Riot Act.

Soundgarden wasnt that great
Mike Mccready solos are boring
Stone is creepy
The Beatles and Nirvana are the most overrated bands ever
