A Thready for Musical Blasphemy You Truly Believe

I stole this thread from the Wilco board and thought it would be fun and different from what usually goes here. Just as the thread says you say something that your typical 'music lover' would call blasphemy that you believe to be true. I'll start.

I don't see what the big deal with My Morning Jacket is.

    Ah MMJ is delicious.

    Me, I can't seem to get into the Rolling Stones. And Radiohead I still have a tough time with. I know they're talented, for whatever reason I just have a hard time.

    Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt Pepper's and Zeppelin IV are boring.

    You're welcome.

    Great thread idea btw. The one over at rateyourmusic.com is 200 pages long although it probably has more varied opinions to sustain it than a PJ board.

    I think that Arcade Fire are the most overrated band of the decade.
    I also think that the word 'overrated' in music is used too much.
    Pet sounds was a horrible record.

    I don't really see the whole thing with the Smashing Pumpkins... I like Mellon Collie, but other than, the rest of the music sounds really similar... Siamese Dream and Adore are the only other albums that I kind of like... even at that, the album's are too long and just have the same sound. Just give me their greatest hits and that's all I need.

    Also, I absolutely love Radiohead, but I don't really like all the light that's being shined on them... Ionno, it's like, they're really good, but not the best (which is what seems to be the way they're being presented)..

    One last thing, the Black Keys get way too much buzz around here.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Here's one that will probably shock any fans of hip-hop here:

    The Roots are not that great. They have a second rate MC who is held up by the fact that his group have a gimmick in that they play their own instruments. They are by no means bad but wildly overrated in the hip-hop world. Things Fall Apart is particularly average.

    I agree with this. I also don't understand all the hype around Run DMC. I know they are the Beatles of rap, but I just don't like them at all.

    I'll agree on the Beatles, but the other two :eek: Dark Side Of The Moon is the best drunk/stoned music going :D

    I agree with Zep IV and Dark Side of the Moon. Dark Side of the Moon is a sleep-inducing album that only still sells because teenage potheads think they're supposed to like it. And besides When the Levee Breaks, Zep IV isn't really that great.

    Sgt. Pepper I like a lot though. As a whole it's better than the sum of it's parts.

    VS is a pile of braindead shite.It's one step away from being Nickelback.

    Led Zep are NOT the greatest band ever.Not even top 5.

    Here's a fact,not a belief,U2 are the most hated band in Ireland.

    I dont like Van Halen, and I think that Eddie Van Halen isnt really one of the greatest guitarists by any means. Nothing special there at all.

    that i truly believe?....

    i think eric clapton makes terrible, terrible songs. i truly cant stand anything he lays his hands on (other than White Room). great guitarist, terrible songwriter.

    the arcade fire were disappointing live

    christy moore should be much more famous outside of ireland. the guy has a golden voice and has been recording for decades.

    robert plant was always the weak link in led zeppelin, and his voice has been shot for years. i love the music but his lyrics are shite

    tool are VERY boring live

    edit: the sexpistols were always shit. maybe part of a revolution in their day, but always a shit band nonetheless

    Beatles
    U2
    Majority of newish bands with 'The' as the start of their name (e.g Futureheads, Arctic Monkeys, Killers etc etc)
    AFI
    Loads of others that aren't coming to mind at the moment!

    Oh, and sorry, but not a fan of Crazy Mary!

    Bob Dylan is so boring... his lyrics are cool, but every song sounds just like the last one... same guitar chords, etc... same with Johnny Cash, except Cash is more like, "I hear that train on a rollin'"... and then that duh doo duh doo bassline comes in and the following of the same notes on guitar.
    If I could, think I would give in.
