Courtney Love should have released that rumoured sex tape, Kurt's popularity would have sunk though.

Arctic Monkeys are overrated. Very overrated. But the NME likes them. Are you seriously disagreeing with the NME? |

- I like Radiohead but they are the most overrated band of all time, I still have that theory that if Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is were a Radiohead song it would get praised by critics just because it is Radiohead.
- I really like The Beatles only after Rubber Soul, even thou Help and HDN are both good albums, but I can't stand their first records: wanna hold hands, need love, buy me love... meeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh.
- Arctic Monkeys is overrated.
- Sting is a douchebag but The Police is amazing.
- BE is a good album.
- There is no point in liking the Sex Pistols anymore.
- Arcade Fire is overrated as fuck.
- Happy Mondays is very good.
- REM is outstanding until Automatic, but after that they are shit.
- Suede and Pulp are underrated.
- Pearl Jam should have ended on Yield.
- Florence and The Machine is a poor version of Siouxsie and the Banshees.
- Supergrass is the closest thing to Oasis in sound.
- I like Rush but can't stand the singer's voice.
- Nirvana is just OK.

- Suede and Pulp are underrated. - Pearl Jam should have ended on Yield. So true. Now my turn: - I can't stand Joe Strummer's voice - While I really do like some of their songs, I don't like the specific sound The Doors produced as a band. It just turns me off most of the time - Loveless by My Bloody Valentine is the greatest album ever made. Even judged from an objective perspective. People who disagree haven't heard it or aren't able to actually comprehend it. |

- I'd quite like Morrissey to fuck off
- The first two Razorlight albums are really, really good and I still listen to them
- I actually quite like the new Arctic Monkeys
- 'Reveal' is one of R.E.M's best albums
- I think Kanye West is a genius and thoroughly enjoy his outrageous attitude and appropriation of other people's tunes. Two traits he has in common with Noel Gallagher (bonus points for you if you can think of two more)
- Led Zeppelin IV isn't that good. And D'yer Maker is a really, really good tune.
- I prefer Morning Glory to Definitely Maybe. It might be the best album I've ever heard. It's better than any Beatles album. And I've been a Beatles obsessive since I was a kid.
- The Kinks are every bit as good as the stones. And Barely behind the Beatles
- Catfish and the Bottlemen are shit
- Peace are the best new band since the Arctic Monkeys
- Jamie T is one of the best songwriters of a generation
- Sticky Fingers might be the best Stones album. Maybe.
- Big Star are the American Beatles
- I like Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica. The first and last songs are two of his best.
God that all felt good to get off my chest

- And whatever his crimes on Heathen Chemistry, Andy Bell gets a free pass, because, and I feel like I say this way too much on here, the man wrote vapour trail, one of the best British love songs of all time

Just not a big fan of his behaviour sometimes, he can be so whiney. Whenever I read about him cancelling a gig because he smelled meat or calling Chinese people subhuman he just makes me really, really want a burger |

As much as I'm delighted at how many people love Bruce Springsteen, I'm surprised at how many people who don't get him. Even if you don't like his music, surely there's got to be some respect there?
He's like music's very own John Steinbeck. Characters with uncertain futures and dead end jobs, and his imagery is great too, often depicting desolated America which fits the mood of his characters.
I think the tension between the grim present and a feared for future makes some of his tunes relentlessly grim, but he often tempers that well with his mainstream radio hits which are pure pop perfection - these songs are a bit similar to Oasis in that the songs don't exist outside of this world like usual pop (which describes the world like a kids cartoon show). Like Oasis, it realises the grim reality but that you can make good of your life.
In a political sense, he's important to my perceptions of America - it's very easy for people in this country to think of America as folk who live the life of extreme materialism, wealth and glamour. Naturally, because its so attractive, many of my mates think it is utopia and even SOUND American. We're inundated with this idealistic and grotesque perception of America - the MTVisation of America so to speak. Springsteen always seems to sing about the desolate and forgotten places where those who live have been forgotten by their country and their own people. He's like those other true American artists before him from Bob Dylan to Woody Guthrie and way before who sing about a country from their own perspective and its a perspective of real life and the insecurities around it rather than the deluded mass media interpretation of it. But crucially, singing about such insecurities and uncertainties makes him a universal artist and not one that is restricted to the country he is from.
His best song.

His songs can be political - and poltiical songs can be offputting I think - but he gets his message across by emotional suckerpunches. No better way of getting your point across by empathising and singing about people and their own torn emotions towards the state of things. Way more powerful than an angry 'FUCK YOU ESTABLISHMENT!' type song. |

- 'Chinese Democracy' is a really great album... just not 17 years great.
- Axl Rose's musical vault must be one of the juiciest in existence and I believe it would have the potential to genuinely surprise people.
- I love the fact Lou Reed's career ended with his Metallica collaboration 'Lulu'. The album was bound to piss Metallica fans off and it did so no end. What better way to end the career of the mastermind behind 'Metal Machine Music'. I think there are several tracks that are genuinely good on 'Lulu' and it's far from the apocalyptic blackhole many perceive it to be. I like to imagine Metallica fans reaction to hearing Lou Reed mumble the albums opening lines: "I would cut my legs and tits off when I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski" - Pff, hilarious.
- The Pixies>Nirvana and should be considered one of the best & most important names in music.
- 'Doolittle' is 'The Best Album Of All Time'.
- 'Trompe Le Monde' is probably better than 'Surfer Rosa'.
- Kim Deal is far less important to the Pixies than many think... her singing however is probably the best female singing I've had the pleasure to hear.
- Radiohead are really great... just not 'that' great.
- Icky Thump is The White Stripes best album and Jack's solo career has been a pretty disappointing in comparison. The guy spreads himself to thin.
- Andrew Falkous is one of the best songwriters in the UK.
- Suede and Pulp are horrible... Elastica are great however.
- Weezer are vastly overrated.
- When you look up 'Weak' in the dictionary a picture of Chris Martin's face slowly appears.
- The Beatles aren't made of infinite awesomeness.
- Successes of the 60's (The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix etc.) are to a slight degree circumstantial.
- Lyrics aren't as important as they are made out to be. Good lyrics are a delicious bonus.

Bruce Springsteen is definitely awesome. Glad alot of Europeans here, particularly in the Uk, really appreciate his music. Great hits from the man.

I dont know how anyone can be a fan of The Killers, The National, Arcade Fire, Gas Light Anthem, Ryan Adams, The War on Drugs, etc and not like Springsteen. His influence is undeniable on those bands. The Killers made a Springsteen album(Sams Town). The Gas Light Anthem tried with 59 sound. The National released a cover on an official release (Mansion on the Hill). Keep The Cars Running was Win Butlers attempt at writing a Bruce song. I think a lot of people that dont like Springsteen have never really listened to Springsteen. I think some people have the idea of him as the guy from the 80's singing Born in the USA and Dancing in the Dark. Mixed up on that 80's synth pop is one dark album. There isnt one happy song on that record. He's obviously not for everyone but I think he's one of those artist that people have a built in preconception of what his music actually is. |

- - Weezer are vastly overrated. - I really dont think Weezer is overrated. I think hey are dismissed by most people. They have two albums in the 90's that are held in high regard but most of the rest of there catalog is disregarded by music fans as nothing more than radio friendly pop rock. |

I personally find Weezer command an undeservedly large fanbase for such output. Outside their debut albums singles plus 'My Name Is Jonus' I've failed to hear anything I find particularly impressive. Too cut a long story short, 'Alternative Rock' has been done much better elsewhere. |
