    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 Strummers.


    :(

    I think I'm going to cry!

    Oh, and I forgot the first time round to say I hate Oasis.

    The Arctic Monkeys deserve every bit of the hype that surrounds them.

    A lot of classic rock isn't really that good. At least compared to how it's hyped.

    Beatles- I enjoy the Beatles, but when I listen to them I usually am thinking in the back of my mind "They are not THE BEST" I know they were are the beginning and they influenced almost everyone else and all, but some people still think that they are the best.

    Led Zeppelin- Don't enjoy much and always wonder "What's the big deal". I like Going to California though ;)

    Radiohead- I know it's deep and all, but this sort of music is really for falling asleep and I usually like quiet when I got to sleep. Thus, I never listen to it. Plus. I don't think it's THAT good. Plus, I feel like I've heard other bands do better stuff and not get as much hype as these guys.

    Bob Dylan- I listened to 2 of his albums thinking it would be great. Wasn't too great. The fact that he is listed as "Best songwriter" is embarrassing.

    U2 is one of those bands that I feel like I shouldn't like but I still listen to when I hear them on the radio.

    The Pixies- They influenced alternative, I know, but I just find it boring.

    The Flaming Lips- They feel like a band I am supposed to like, which makes me feel a bit like a poser if I listen to them. Plus, I didn't find The Soft Bulletin that good. A few catchy songs here and there, but not really that good. It doesn't "change my life" or anything like some people have told me, they just seem like pop songs when you are in the mood for something light.

    London Calling- I wanted to hear this for years. When I finally did I was like "That's it?" Still looking for music that fits my expectations of what I thought this album would be like.

    Murmur (REM) Not their best record by a long shot. Almost every other REM album is better than this one. It might get people nostalgic, I understand that, but people still treat it as if it's the best by letting nostalgia get in the way.
    I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.

    Here's a really crazy one.

    Back For Good by Take That is a good song.

    That's not blasphemous - they're a good pop band. Likeable, cos you can tell they can't resist a good pie. :)

    How about 'Baby Can I Hold You?' by Boyzone is a good cover?

    It's not as good as this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tloj9osem6w

    seriously, if that had been released by Massive Attack, people would call it a masterpiece.

    My music blasphemy:

    -I think U2 was a great band (emphasis on was).

    -I've never liked Janis Joplin

    -I can't stand the beastie boys

    -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.

    Psychobilly music is awesome.

    I'm not sure that's blasphemous, I just wanted to say it. ;)

    absolutely. I mean, sure, the lyrics are fucking terrible but so are Massive Attack's :D

    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.

    This is fantastic.

    Yeah. To be honest, I've never understood why Unfinished Symphony wasn't just dismissed as the pretty-basic pop song that it is. :o Teardrops.. now that's a different story.

    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 :D

    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.
