I don't see what the big deal with My Morning Jacket is.
oh dear... *shakes head*
hehe!
I love 'em!
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Jimi Hendrix is the most overrated guitar player in the history of music
Kurt Cobain isn't 1/10 as talented as his drummer
The Beatles were nothing but the Backstreet Boys with instruments
Bono is a fucking fraud, and U2 are average at best
Bob Dylan has an annoying voice, and hasn't been relevant since the 60s
Stevie Nicks has a horrible voice and only was allowed to sing because her bandmates wanted to get into her pants (and DID)
The Doors are fucking terrible and Jim Morrison is a pretentious acid-head
Anthony Kiedis is the most talentless frontman in the history of popular music
Thom Yorke is a whiney spaz and makes Radiohead terrible
Kiss built an entire music career on shooting off fireworks
No one really likes Reggae music, they just like Bob Marley. And they don't even like Bob Marley, they just like pot
Lynyrd Skynyrd is country music
The Dave Matthews band fanbase consists largely of Jeep-driving, Birkinstock-wearing, beer guzzling college kids who just need something to listen to while they have their 30 seconds of sex
No one really likes Jack Johnson, they just have been listening to DMB too long and want to pretend they like something new for once
Eddie Vedder smoked and drank his voice away, and now he's hoarse and nasal in concert
Prince > everyone else
No one likes to admit it, but everyone knows all the words to Nickelback's "Photograph" and will sing along while drunk
The Rolling Stones > The Beatles
Tom Morello and Zach De La Rocha should shut the fuck up
Tool haven't been good since 1997, and you're an idiot if you have fallen for their "we're deep now" bullshit they have been spouting for the last 2 albums.
Oasis are the biggest pile of steaming shit ever.....worst band of the 90's by a country mile.....braindead pub rock played by monkey's with guitars.....
Queen are a truly mind numbingly awful band too.....
'The more I studied religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.' - Sir Richard Francis Burton
QOTSA ,BLIND MELON,any band with crow in the name i don't care for ,oh yeah that MATHEWS guy also ......don't listen to any of them ..and probably anyone who dissagrees with me sucks also ..
Queen are a truly mind numbingly awful band too.....
Definitely. How anyone can enjoy that band blows my mind.

John Mayer fucked Jessica Simpson, and you didn't, which means he can make horrible music for the rest of his life if he wants and you can't say anything about it
Dolly Parton only has a record deal because everyone in country music likes looking at her juggs
MTV ruined music, not filesharing
Scott Weiland stole all his stage moves from Perry Farrell and Mick Jaggar
Creed rocked, the singer just crapped it up so much it became unlistenable
Mama Cass probably really did choke on a ham sandwich
All the best music is made by heroin addicts
Ringo Starr is the best looking Beatle
Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Ozzy, and AC/DC should be taken off radio airwaves for 5 years to give people a break
All punks bands sound the same, dress the same, and suck the same
"Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley is the greatest pop song ever written

There's a difference between an unpopular opinion and stupidity. You're in the wrong thread.
"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"
Oh, come now. Anyone who doesn't sing, dance and get merry whenever Don't Stop Me Now comes on has NO SOUL.
That song has been played to death. It makes me want to vomit blood. Besides, McFly covered it. How can you ever think of it the same way again?
Freddie Mercury was an irritating singer who looked like a gay hamster, Brian May is the most insufferably pompous and boring guitarist on the planet, Roger Taylor is just mediocre and John Deacon might be a good bassist but the guy is a non-entity.

But when their powers combine, I am Captain Planet! (They make good music. )
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
There was another thread like this recently. Unpopular music opinions, I think. But anyway:
The Rolling Stones are the most overrated band ever.
Bob Marley and all reggae music are terrible and annoying.
Arcade Fire has surpassed Pearl Jam as the best live band on the planet.
All Tool songs are essentially the same.
Tom Morello dragged Audioslave into the ground with his unnecessary and unimpressive solos.
EMO is not a genre of music and is a term thrown around by people who use it to attack bands that in some way challenge their own misguided ideas about masculinity.
This decade of music has actually been much better than the 90s.
American Idiot is one of rock's true masterpieces.
People who list Binaural or Riot Act as one of the best albums of this decade need to listen to more music.
The Chili Peppers would be better off if Frusciante wrote the lyrics and sang.
Mark Tremonti is not a good guitar player---> Speed does not equal good guitar playing.
You really shouldn't need substances to enjoy beautiful music, especially live.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

I agree with all of these although emo is a genre, it's just nothing to with bands like The Used, MCR, Panic at the Disco etc. Emo is stuff like Saetia, Indian Summer, Embrace (the US Embrace), Rites of Spring and Pageninetynine.
It also happens to be generally fucking brilliant.
"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"
The Clash were a vastly overrated band and London Calling is really not great at all. It's probably their third best album. Train in Vain is the only brilliant song on it. Their songs with Mick Jones on vocals are almost all superior to Strummer's.
And this wouldn't be considered blasphemy in some circles but might be here:
Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven by Godspeed You! Black Emperor is the greatest album ever made. It shits on anything by The Beatles, the Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin or any other band considered to be some sort of sacred cow that can't be questioned from a great height.
Also, the 3 or 4 minutes immediately following the 10:12 mark of the first song on Skinny Fists is the greatest music ever composed. I haven't heard all the music obviously and am prepared to be corrected but I think it's probably true.

It's true! The debut and Give 'Em Enough Rope are far better and even they aren't great. All the best songs on London Calling are without Strummer on vocals too. Train in Vain, Lost in the supermarket, Guns of Brixton.

so glad you added lost in the supermarket to that list. tis my personal clash favourite.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
you above just reminded me of what shit ARCADE FIRE are man they suck a whole lott of instruments and such crap coming from them ...
YEAH! Fuck those bastards for using all of those instruments and actually trying to sound different and original. All music should sound the same! A guitar (maybe, and I mean maybe, two), a bass, and some drums. That's it. And blues-based only! Flogging Molly. . .violin player. Fuck em. Ed, you had better watch it with this uke business. That may be crossing the line.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

I like that one, it made me laugh pretty hard.
damm who's left ?? :eek:
this is not true.
not everyone.
imo tom and zach and anyone else who holds similiar opinions and can articulate them intelligently to the rest of us, should NEVER shut up.
as much as the sex pistols were all image, so were the ramones.

QOTSA's guitar tone is horrible
Bloc Party are boring as hell and deserve none of the praise which is heaped upon them.
Bob Dylan can write decent lyrics but he as no musical talent at all.
Sean Penn is a humourless wanker. (not music related I know, but I just wanted to say it)
Sigur Ros sound like whales humping. And that is not a good sound.
The Ramones only ever wrote one song, and it wasn't very good.
Oasis are fucking brilliant. Liam Gallagher is a dickhead.
Oh, come now. Anyone who doesn't sing, dance and get merry whenever Don't Stop Me Now comes on has NO SOUL.
are you a heroin addict?
good question (aside from prince)?
prince should have focused on quality rather than quantity
Mine 2 cents.
Freddie Mercury was an irritating singer who looked like a gay hamster, Brian May is the most insufferably pompous and boring guitarist on the planet, Roger Taylor is just mediocre and John Deacon might be a good bassist but the guy is a non-entity.
I never listened to the McFly version, so the song remains unsoiled for me.
But when their powers combine, I am Captain Planet! (They make good music.
Radiohead = overrated and boring.
