-a lot of the music the beatles did (Srgt Pepper in particular) is really just weird...and I wouldn't consider it to be "rock."
-Sonic Youth is nothing but noise
-Just can't get into the Ramones
-I've listened to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, which is supposed to be one of the greatest albums of all time, and I had trouble getting through one song.
"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'm not sure that's blasphemous, I just wanted to say it.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
Haha - I couldn't agree more. It's pretty ambient chill out isn't it.
absolutely. I mean, sure, the lyrics are fucking terrible but so are Massive Attack's

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.
absolutely. I mean, sure, the lyrics are fucking terrible but so are Massive Attack's
Yeah. To be honest, I've never understood why Unfinished Symphony wasn't just dismissed as the pretty-basic pop song that it is. Teardrops.. now that's a different story.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
Noise rock is a legitimate genre and just because you don't appreciate it, doesn't mean it's bad. I mean shit, I love a lot of bands who make Sonic Youth sound like Chopin.
Besides, most of their post-Evol stuff has a pop sensibility. The noise is just their style. I'd like to hear a proper argument for Schizophrenia being "just noise", or most of the songs on Goo.

It always amuses me that seemingly EVERYONE makes the mistake of thinking that song is called Unfinished Symphony when it's actually called Unfinished SymPATHY
I used to think it was and was shocked when I realised I'd just been reading it wrong for years.
Teardrop is brilliant but in danger of being ruined by the million covers and use of it on every other frigging advert.

And yes, Unfinished Symphony is by Hybrid.. and is fucking awesome. As you now know.

Kurt's problem was that he was very much punk as a teen until about 1986 when he just decided to make sub-standard Melvins rip-offs (Bleach) and then took a further hit to his credibility with Geffen/Nevermind/the whole total-commercial-whore-who-just-wants-to-be-left-alone-*sob* bollocks.

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.

Belinda Carlisle shits on Sleater 'tuneless Howling Banshees' Kinney.
Cussing U2 is just Tall Poppy Syndrome.
Sonic Youth are a tuneless dirge.
Trent Reznor and Zack De La Rocha should be sent to Guantanemo bay or any other remotely locationed detention camp.
Bloc Party, THe Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy, Hard-Fi, Razorlight, and Keane are all fucking AWFUL bands that make TERRIBLE music and are PAINFUL experiences live ( i have had the profound experience of seeing these all live over time). fuck's sake there are great UK bands around, why play these fuckers all the time?
ahhhh.
I really really like The Cardigans....
AND despite his opening set being hilariously out of place at a PJ show, Paddy Casey has some really brilliant songs (only the ones on his first album though)
I truly don't see how anyone CAN'T like the arctic monkeys.
Some people have different tastes to you. Very simple.
"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"

Grrrrr.....have some of this:
A turbo turbo and chant with a charge
addy, Daddy G wild crew at large
Don't call me an officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country planning also abroad
Plan to go to America when I get a visa card
I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
To see me lookin' back at you
A turbo turbo and chant with a charge
addy, Daddy G wild crew at large
Don't call me an officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country planning also abroad

Too much weed + mediocre rhyming skills = enjoyable but not particularly impressive lyrics.

I don't see an awful lot of blasphemy on this thread - most of it has been posted numerous times on this board. Anywho, my toes were stepped on a couple of times (in regards to Led Zep, Pearl Jam, Bruce, etc.). Here's my blasphemy, at least in regards to the majority opinion of this board:
- I think U2 is awesome. One of the most passionate and articulate bands in rock history.
- I like Van Halen and really enjoy the DLR albums.
- The Eagles, while being insufferable egomaniacs, made really solid, listenable music that holds up.
- Soundgarden sucked live. They were just so loud that it wasn't immediately obvious that they sucked.
- Phil Collins is (was?) a very talented musician and participated in or wrote some of the most enduring prog and pop songs in history. Throwing It All Away and In Too Deep should both be in the running as greatest pop song of the 80's.
Ok...excuse for being a little derivative with the following:
By twelve year olds. But actually massively underrated by fans of hip-hop. I love hip-hop and listen to some very obscure and underground stuff which is considered critically acclaimed but not well known and I STILL rank Tupac as the greatest rapper who ever lived. Hardly any real hip-hop fans give him his dues. Fact is, no rapper has ever come close to making songs like Changes, Staring Through My Rearview, Keep Ya Head Up, Dear Mama and Brenda's Got A Baby.
By no means overrated, just by the wrong people.

Agreed.
Isn't the current conventional wisdom, rather than blasphemy?
aw no, I love her voice
obviously. I always thought I was missing something with KISS, but then I realized no, they really are that bad.
hahaha right on. Man, that was the worst part of college, all the freaking Reggae
I don't think it's gone "away" 100%, but I do think it has been affected. Very sad.
this is probably true
I wouldn't sing this song for all the whiskey in Tennessee.

The Cardigan's "Gran Turismo" is an absolutely FANTASTIC album.
The 1980's Bob Dylan was like a cheesy version of Bob Dylan too!
MTV was actually influential . . . 20 years ago.
Tupac was overrated
Thriller is still a top 5 album of all time
Bruce Springsteen is boring
Springsteen is way OVERRATED, so is David Bowie, I just don't get either of them...

Yea this thread is in other music. So ok here is mine. Phish I never got and IMO they are a rip off to the dead.
- I think U2 is awesome. One of the most passionate and articulate bands in rock history.
- I like Van Halen and really enjoy the DLR albums.
- The Eagles, while being insufferable egomaniacs, made really solid, listenable music that holds up.

Ok...excuse for being a little derivative with the following:
- Queen does mostly suck.
- Nirvana was vastly overrated.
- The Beatles weren't rock and roll.
By no means overrated, just by the wrong people.
