    Etc...
    That's not really blasphemy, just a valid opinion. What you want to say is, those artists are SHITE :D

    Although I like Radiohead and some Pumpkins, I could agree with that statement.

    Also, is it really unpopular to dislike Colplay??!

    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.

    I don't agree with:

    The Rolling Stones > The Beatles

    Prince > everyone else

    Eddie Vedder smoked and drank his voice away, and now he's hoarse and nasal in concert

    everything else? spot on! :D
    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.

    Anyone who describes music as 'shite' should be shot. In my opinion artists go into enough effort for people who don't like the music to at least go to the effort of explaining why they don't like them more eloquently than shrugging them off as "shite". It's a bit dismissive and rude, especially when a band has obviously earned their stripes.

    I can't, for the life of me, recall a better pop song than Everything I do (I do it for you) by Bryan Adams. He writes excellent pop songs in general.

    The UK had something brilliant when they discovered the potential of UK garage music, but they squandered it; here's hoping Dubstep takes it places it could go if producers pull their fingers out.

    I can't tell the difference between Dave Grohl, Matt Belamy and Jon Bon Jovi. All corporate, over-produced cock rock frontmen.

    If anyone's still trying to call Foo Fighters 'alternative' they need to stop. Now.

    'Permission to Land' by the Darkness was one of the very few fantastic cock rock albums I've ever heard. The Darkness broke up before they realised their potential.

    Tool are one-trick ponies. Don't argue or tell me I'm not 'getting it' or I'm not musical. They just are. If you like the trick, fine.

    Pearl Jam are also one-trick ponies to some extent. But I really, really, really like the fucking trick.

    Firstly, I wasn't saying any bands were shite without explaining why, I was semi-jokingly telling a person that this is a thread for blasphemic statements, not fair opinions. "I don't enjoy coldplay" doesn't really fit the nature of the thread. It's about stuff like "Led Zeppelin suck and here's why..."

    Secondly, plenty of bands are bad enough to be dismissed offhand because they quite clearly haven't earned their stripes. It's not difficult to make bad music. Why praise people for the effort? Rather, we should encourage them to make better music by showing them how offensive we find it that they insult our intelligence by trying to palm the crap off onto us, under the impression that we will buy it, hook, line and sinker. The "oh come on, give them a break, they play their own instruments and write their own songs" line is bullshit.

    All UK urban music offends my ears, I don't know why. I LOVE hip-hop but have never heard another UK hip-hop song besides Klashnekoff's Murda Murda that I enjoyed. Garage is the same for me.

    I don't like any of them but that's just silly :D
    Now.

    was good fun. not great though. The second one was appalling

    How much have you heard? Tends to be the view of people who have only heard a few songs. Schism sounds nothing like Prison Sex which sounds nothing like 10,000 Days (Part 2) which sounds nothing like Parabola which sounds nothing like The Grudge.

    Pearl Jam are also one-trick ponies to some extent. But I really, really, really like the fucking trick.

    I don't know. They've evolved a fair bit, for better or worse

    This statement means you either know nothing about the Beatles or nothing about the Backstreet Boys. Or maybe both. But this statement is just factually inaccurate.
