    You are not qualified to make that statement as you don't know who half the bands I listen to are.

    But I agree with you that music is no worse now than it was generations ago. For every s**** song out there, there will be 5 killers.



    Someone hasn't heard Otherside.


    Unless you listen to a lot more music that is infintely better than what you post about on here, i'm pretty sure i'm right. I'd also gamble that the 5 songs you think 'killer' they're probably terrible as well.

    Very very good guitar player, don't get me wrong, but Jonny Greenwood is of his generation...

    Reni from the Stone Roses is one of the greatest drummers of all time, if not the greatest. He played the drums like Hendrix played the guitar.

    No, what I meant that on the overall scale of things he's massively underrated http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-drummers-of-all-time

    That list is such bull****! I dunno if Bonham should be 1, he was incredible, had amazing groove and taste, but I don't know if he really stood up as the greatest drummer ever. Great drummer in popular music sure, maybe not of all time. And why is Terry Bozzio on that list at all? Bruford should be higher. Ringo Starr is supposedly better than Weinberg, let alone on that list all?? I'd put Weinberg higher but that might just be my own massive boner for his playing. lol @ Dave Grohl, Lars Ulrich and Travis Barker, boring unimaginative drummers who were in the right place at the right time for successful bands. AND FOR ****'S SAKE ELVIN JONES SHOULD BE TOP 3!!

    And Glenn Kotche should be there :cool:

    Oh, there's another unpopular music opinion from me; Dave Grohl is a complete waste of space in every way, apart from being really nice to people. If he could just keep being lovely and not make music, that'd be great.

    Exactly like Coldplay, Snow Patrol, The Script, Noel Gallagher, Girls Aloud, The Killers, Foo Fighters and Robbie Williams.

    Your opinions certainly are unpopular, I'll give you that!

    I hope to **** you're talking about James Brown.

    Being catchy is not what makes a song great, good lyrics are.
    The actual music is so unimportant that it doesn't even warrant a mention. Heed the words of karaokeman people, our resident progressive cultural theorist. Adorno who??

    Although I do like a fair chunk of Foo Fighters stuff from the first 3 or 4 albums.

    I REALLY don't like the script. In fact I despise them.
    Not too fond of U2 either.

    I could listen to Hans Zimmer all day.
    Take That are actually a decent band/group whatever you want to call them.
    Slipknot have written some good lyrics but tend to ruin some songs by agressive guitar playing and drumming. But thats their style I suppose.

    Now there's diversity for you:D

    I really tried to like Beach Boys and Neil Young, but just can't. Listened to After the Gold Rush and Pet Sounds a load of times and just can't get into them.
    I don't like The Smiths, but they have a couple of ok songs. But not only do I think Morrissey is bad, I think he's embarrassingly bad.

    The bands I talk about here don't even make up a small fraction of what I listen to.

    You'll never know unless you know me personally I'm afraid.

    I literally listen to dozens of bands of all genres and no the BEP are far from being one of my favourites. I listen to some of their stuff but certainly not every day.

    Whether we like it or not this thread was bound to have posters bashing our opinions and judging our music tastes as a whole.

    Admitedly I have too but I'm guessing the snobbery has in part helped this thread to reach 47 pages.

    For another unpopular opinion I have, Bono actually is a very, very good singer and he can sing live.

    Agree with the comments about Reni, he was a freakin' genius.

    Topper Headon was a top top drummer as well, God only knows how good he could have been if his head had been right

    The Smiths and The Smashing Pumpkins are two of the most over rated bands of the last 30 years.

    This might be true but the fact that you bother listening to bands like the BEP in the first place speaks volumes. I can't ever think as to why anyone with any interest in music would listen to them. The worst piece of crap band to ever make music.

    Ick. Only good thing about them is that Fergie's a ride. And she's even pure fake.

    I pretty much listen to BEP for the same reason that my dad listens to Boyzone.

    I enjoy them for the entertainment value, none of them can sing (barr Fergie) nor dance but they still make money from what they do.

    That speaks volumes in that I don't consider them to be a serious band. Really one should not be judged by naming one single band.

    I am actually still worried myself by the fact that some posters here have mentioned Justin Bieber:p.

    Well in fairness Fergie does use pretty much the same amount of autotune as will i am. Sure they say its for effect more than anything but what's the point really when you can hit all those high notes without it.

    Earlier you were complaining about the crappy lyrics in pop music, yet you can somehow tolerate BEP:confused::confused::confused:

    Eh haven't you raved on about how great boyzone or westlife are as well?

    Seriosuly there is so much good music out there and you choose to listen to co-ck as it's entertaining. Fair enough. Also i happen to think that most bands you mention aren't a hell of alot better than the BEP (fair enough people like what they like) the main thing that irks me is how you try to back up a point.

    Like saying that you don't like crappy lyrics in pop songs but listen to the BEP.

    For the record i love a good pop song, and i can ignore the crappy lyrics in an S&M as it's got a stonking beat and a bit of fun. Doesn't take itself to seriously which, for me, is what pop should be about.

    westlife are cack-they might as well piss on their fans the amount of effort and creativity they put into their music-NONE! lazy moneygrabbers

    Take That are brilliant constantly trying new styles of music and venturing down new avenues. they write all their own material and put their hearts and souls into their albums and tours.

    i thought rap and r n b was sh1te til i heard eminem. lyrical genius.

    arctic monkeys, kings of leon, mumford & sons waaaay overrated.

    You haven't heard anything until you've heard Dalek and Immortal Technique. They completely changed my perspective on hip-hop. Give them a listen.

    I used to love the smashing pumpkins 15 years ago, but don't like them at all now. Even Siamese Dream. Not sure how I used to listen to Billy Corgans voice.
