John Mayer, despite being a bit of an ass, is the most talented musician of his generation.

Developed into a hit and miss band. Oasis didn't "develop" and were still a hit and miss band. Don't get me wrong, I love Blur, saw them live in 09, have all the albums etc. But the idea that Blur developed into something more important or "better" than Oasis is nonsense really. Blur and 13 had some awful tripe on them, as well as some great tunes. I didn't rate Think Thank at all.

Bob Dylan is overrated as a songwriter quite apart from his awful voice. Eric Clapton is similarly overrated as a guitarist. I don't care how technically gifted he is, terminally boring to listen to. Similarly Hendrix, where are the Tunes ? Led Zep are unmitigated shyte, Rap is horrible. Springsteen is ordinary. Micahel Jackson was not a great entertainer.

Unpopular enough ?

ok, this is this girls second release, and the unplugged version to boot lol.The first was 'Friday' which was horrifically bad, which,because of this fact, has made her famous.This is epically as bad.and i love the second comment down.

Btw I'm sorry

but I had to let the world know.

Elvis is not that great, and Johnny Cash is infinitely better
The Foo Fighters are very, very ordinary and Dave Grohl should have stuck to drumming
Kings of Leon are even more boring than Foo Fighters
Dance music is quite good
Hip Hop music is my favourite genre
Most people don't like Hip Hop because they don't understand it, and don't take time to listen
Queens of The Stone Age are my favourite band of all time
Bjork is terrible
Lady GaGa makes alot of brilliant songs
Rick James is brilliant in his own right, and not just an artist to listen to because of the parodies
Kanye West may be annoying as a person, but his music is some of the best popular hip hop of recent times
Wiz Khalifa is decent
N-Dubz have some decent tunes (Dappy is scum, however)

Reading through the thread I've thought of a few more:

GnR are a great band and get a lot of undue criticism

Brick by brick by Arctic Monkeys is a decent song despite the terrible lyrics

Green Day were really good pre- American Idiot

Jimmy Hendrix is highly overrated despite being the greatest guitarist of his generation because of his early death which is the same reason Nirvana are so popular

Bob Dylan is one of the best songwriters of all time but couldn't sing for s****

Rubber Soul is seen as the beginning of the 'new' Beatles but I think Help! is overlooked by a lot of people in this sense

weemcd · 22-07-2011, 02:01

Nelly Furtado - Try is one of, if not, my favourite songs of all time

Irish Guitarist · 22-07-2011, 09:22

I think the song from the Bodyform advert was the best piece of music ever. The lyrics are really beautiful and heartfelt. "Ooooh Bodyform for you".

I think Men Without Hats are overrated. I wish everyone would stop talking about them.

I think all music would be better if it featured the wobble board, preferably played by Rolf Harris but another wobble board virtuoso would do if he wasn't available.

I think a twelve inch vinyl record is bigger than a CD. Unless the CD is a box set that opens up or something. Even then it would just be the CD box that was bigger, the actual CD would still be smaller than vinyl.

I think Kurt Cobain is more dead now than when he was alive.

I think new music is newer than old music. Old music is newer than really old music. Really old music is newer than really, really old music.

There's probably a popular band that you love but that I don't enjoy very much. That bands songs are just too short or long, their lyrics aren't meaningful enough or are too pretentious and they have way too many or not nearly enough guitar solos.

Jerichoholic · 22-07-2011, 10:00

Here's some opinions:

Metal is terrible, bands like Judas Priest etc. are comedy to me. The old men that have long grey hair and wear 'Maiden' T-shirts are usually alcoholics.

Rory Gallagher wasn't very good at all. I couldn't tell you the name of any of his songs.

Blues/Rock is tripe. Eric Clapton etc. bore me to tears.

I hate cover bands.

A-Ha were amazing and will never be appreciated the right way.

Damien Rice style singer songwritery, whispery ballady music can lie down. It's awful.

Elbow aren't that good at all.

X-Factor/Westlife style pop music, isn't music. It's only there to prey on the weak minded who will vote for it or buy it because 2fm told them to.

BornToRun88 · 22-07-2011, 10:08

How I can't stand ACDC. I'm the only person it seems that dislikes them. The singer just screams and the guitar riffs in most of their songs sound the same. That 'Thunderstruck' song drives me nuts, especially the intro.

JerryHandbag · 22-07-2011, 11:18

Journeys "Dont Stop Believing" is a pile of ****e

Irish Guitarist · 22-07-2011, 14:45

I think Justin Timberlake should change his name to Justin Woodwater.

Sugarlumps · 22-07-2011, 15:31

Elbow are sh*te, some fat lad pining on about pissy cornflakes or something to that effect. Lose some weight bud and you might cheer up.

Flaming Lips – The Yeah Song...bound to be the tune they’ll be playing 24 hours in hell when I arrive. My so called mates stick it on when I’m too drunk and defenceless to change it.
