Beady Eye's album is better than Noel Gallagher's one.

Pdfile

ac/dc are complete and utter ****e.

thin lizzy is the best band irelands ever had.

the blades should of been the next thin lizzy ( in the pop sense )

bono is genuinely pure evil ( socially/musically speaking... and i guess every other way too for that matter. )

akons made more money signing lady gaga then he did in his own music career... still can't afford hearing lessons...

Surfer Rosa is a better album than Doolittle.

I do not particularly enjoy the music of Led Zeppelin. There. I said it.

I remember about 6/7 years ago I tried uploading "Led Zeppelin IV" onto my mp3 player. It ****ed everything up. I lost all of music. Strangely when I deleted that album all my music came back again. I tried uploading again and the same thing happened all over.

Ever since then I've been suspicious of them as a band :P.

'Be Here Now' was Oasis at top flight, cracking coke fuelled rock album which only suffered from the longevity of certain songs.

I like Snow Patrol but that doesn't take away from the fact they have been a Coldplay tribute act since Final Straw.

Plastic factory by captain beefheart shouuld be the first song all children should hear and use as a bench mark for what is good and what is not.

Bobby Baccala

People who hear a reggae song and immediately assume it's Bob Marley should be shot in the face.

Rothko

Bob Dylan's Self Portrait is very underrated and is in fact a far better album than Desire, which I think is the worst album of his that I've heard.

I think that Beyoncé's version of empowerment is more akin to misandry and it hurts to think of her as a role model to a generation of young women.

I'm always unsure about the brand of female empowerment Rihanna and a few other notable pop stars portray/get credited with.

There's too much emphasis on dominating men sexually and not enough about matching them mentally. I worry a generation of girls will think that their best weapon in the search for equality is their tits and not their brains.

That reminds me of the record cover that was made from sandpaper so as to destroy any other records on the shelf beside it. http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/05/durutti-column-most-punk-cover/

Lou Reed is a miserable c unt and his music is dire

Well, I hate most of what is deemed "popular" music. Rihanna, Beyonce, Maroon 5, Flo Rida, Kris Brown, Carley May Jepson and all the other talentless swine out there make me hate the invention of auto tuning and electronic music. That's not to say that I don't think computers have a place in music-making today, I just think that we should be using technology as a means to an end instead of an end in itself which we use to churn out crappy "pop" hits.

On a more specific note, I think Shane McGowan is virtually unlistenable. A lot of people would find that strange. I also cannot understand how a person can go through their entire life without getting intimate with the genre of metal. If I hadn't loved Dimmu Borgir and Arcturus for a while, I don't think my life would be the same. It's all a matter of taste, I suppose, but sometimes it's really good to just cut loose and listen to something unbearably heavy! Especially when you're a teenager and the rest of the world is so difficult to come to terms with.

Well for such a dire band they have somehow managed to be one of, if not the most, influential bands on alternative music over the past 45 years or so.

No Velvet Underground no Modern Lovers, My Bloody Valentine, Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, R.E.M., Pixies, Television, Patti Smith, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sonic Youth, Jesus and Mary Chain, Pavement, Talking Heads... and so forth. Probably even no punk rock.

I don't care as much for Lou Reed's solo stuff but The Velvet Underground were amazing.

Bobby Baccala

Bob Dylan is a cretin.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Tyler's for real either, and I do actually like Odd Future overall, but how can Beyonce's track be considered seriously misandrist if, on the other side of the fence, Tyler's much more extreme persona gets a pass as a creative mechanism?

People are more familiar with the attitude Tyler displays. We don't always notice misogyny, whether it's real or not, because it's so commonplace, and when we do it's probably easier to excuse for the same reason.

On a similar note, homophobia gets the green light too much in music because of its prevalence in rap and reggae.

MF Doom gets excused for making this track because it's in character..

On record he's said that he's not being serious and isn't homophobic, but I have some reservations about it.

I think a lot of people try to ignore that song and the fact that rap can be legitimately homophobic makes it easier to do so

Maybe but his output in the 60s and 70s is essential

Dire Straits' Sultans of swing is a blatant copy of a Rory Gallagher tune.

Hear one Van Morrison song and you heard them all. Should be available on prescription for insomniacs.

Patti Smith is just average...

In Rainbows is better than OK Computer.

In 20 years time, no one will remember who The Rapture were.

I'd agree with that. It's definitely one of the very best albums of the last decade

Radiohead where great for a time..really great.. they aint anymore no matter how much people claim they are....the songs they wrote at the time reflected their lives..today they are just the hits and they belt them out fair enough.Most Bands are only really great for a short period of time and you have to catch them then..in that time..,,watching radiohead/stone roses these days just does not interest me one little bit.
