    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.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfinished_Sympathy

    Teardrop is brilliant but in danger of being ruined by the million covers and use of it on every other frigging advert.

    How many people have fucking covered it in the same year?

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

    Agreed.

    Isn't the current conventional wisdom, rather than blasphemy?

    obviously. I always thought I was missing something with KISS, but then I realized no, they really are that bad.

    I don't think it's gone "away" 100%, but I do think it has been affected. Very sad.

    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.

    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.

    i tried to watch MTV2 tonight and it reminded me

    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)

    Some people have different tastes to you. Very simple.

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

    I'd rather listen to Blink 182's Dude Ranch and Enema of the State than Bob Dylan's entire music library
    PJ at MSG in 2008! Mission Accomplished

    The band all knows. We're too afraid to mention.

    Bob Dylan can't sing any better than Taylor Hicks

    MTV was actually influential . . . 20 years ago.

    Tupac was overrated

    Thriller is still a top 5 album of all time

    Bruce Springsteen is boring
    NERDS!

    I just can't stand Dirty Frank. A song I could care less about. They played it at the Gorge in 2006. Now never play it again thank you. :)


    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 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:

    - Queen does mostly suck.

    - Nirvana was vastly overrated.

    - The Beatles weren't rock and roll.

    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.
