This thread is a place to finally admit those long-unspoken opinions you have about musicians and their "art". It's a chance to come clean and cleanse your soul, once and for all.
If you disagree with someone's opinion in this thread, you are simply proving the title correct.
I'll go first.
Bob Dylan is overrated.
80s punk (Minor Threat) is better than 70s (Sex Pistols) or 90s (Nirvana) punk.
Speaking of which, Dave Grohl's best band is the Foo Fighters.
McCartney was a better songwriter than Lennon. (Although they both were better with each other than without).
Lionel Richie is fun to listen to. Yeah, I said it.

Sampo, your an idiot*. And I say that with all the affection and respect that I can offer. Otherwise your allright.
* Idiot is a relative term not to taken seriously for legal reasons.

I believe that Sampo covered everything but I have a few more....
Syd Barrett Pink Floyd is NOT as good as David Gilmour Pink Floyd. You hippies smoke too much pot and you're wrong, live with it.
Although Phantom will chastise me again, Rush is good.
So is Yes.
And the Doobie Brothers were a hell of a lot better with Michael McDonald.
There. I said it.

I've actually had people get into arguments with me over that exact point. They say he was the creative genius behind the band. If that's the case then the acid was the real hero of Floyd. Syd Barrett Floyd, what a joke, Servo

Lennon is my musical inspiration, I've studied his chord progressions and am always blown away. Lucy in the Sky... On my best day I couldn't have arrange that song, with the finger picking etc. So you've piercd my heart sampo. Being the a-hole I am, I shall now pierce others hearts.
Frank Zappa is over rated as a composer and intellectual. As a musician he wrote undiciplined messes and his intellect was banal at best.
So there, take that!!

How can anyone say that Zappa is overrated? The man never got any respect for what he did. He put out over 50 albums, all of a different genre, generally speaking, in less than 30 years. I can understand your not liking his stuff, it's just not for everyone, but to say he's overrated is a joke. Hell, he never even got the pleasure of being rated at all as far as I know. Servo

The thing is Sampo if you don't like Dylan that's fine. I have no argument and I wouldn't try to change your mind. But when youn say he's overrated your making a broad accross the board statement that transends personal opinion. You like The Beatles? Dylan had a huge effect on The Beatles. He changed the way Lennon wrote lyrics and I've read Harrison quoted Dylan like scrripture. Jimi Hendrix near worshoped Dylan. Musical historians, authors and artists from all fields of music praise Dylan. He's not your cup of tea, fine, but it's difficult to underate Dylan. But i guess you know best. I'm done with the topic. How are you?

LMAO, you Zappa fans are too easy. I knew it wouldn't take long. Whenever I talk with Zappa fans they act like he's God and by gawd you better not speak against him. (bestowing Godhood a little over rated don't you think?).
Thought I'd push a button (Frank) and see who jumed.
I'm Evil I say, EVIL!

Servo Geez Servo, I could sustitute Dylan for Zappa and that could be my comment. Seems different when it's your opinion doesn't it?
