    Definitely. How anyone can enjoy that band blows my mind.

    Oh, come now. Anyone who doesn't sing, dance and get merry whenever Don't Stop Me Now comes on has NO SOUL. :p

    "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley is the greatest pop song ever written

    prince should have focused on quality rather than quantity

    There's a difference between an unpopular opinion and stupidity. You're in the wrong thread.

    I completely agree.

    Bloc Party are boring as hell and deserve none of the praise which is heaped upon them. - Absolutely right.

    Bob Dylan can write decent lyrics but he as no musical talent at all. - I'd give him a little credit for doing so much with so few chords. :p

    Sean Penn is a humourless wanker. (not music related I know, but I just wanted to say it) - Well, he did marry Madonna. That's kinda funny. :D

    Sigur Ros sound like whales humping. And that is not a good sound. - Hey, some people are into that. :p

    The Ramones only ever wrote one song, and it wasn't very good. - I agree on the one song point, but it was the excellent thing! :)

    Oasis are fucking brilliant. Liam Gallagher is a dickhead. - Substitute "fucking brilliant" with "tolerable", and we'll talk. :p

    Mine 2 cents.

    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.

    I never listened to the McFly version, so the song remains unsoiled for me. :D

    Chris Cornell's banshee wailing gets on my nerves and the best thing that ever happened to Soundgarden is that they broke up.

    Radiohead = overrated and boring.

    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.

    Here's are some more.

    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! :D 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.

    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.
