Radiohead are pretentious shit.

Michael Jackson made his best work in the 90s

Chinese Democracy was a decent Guns N Roses album

New Power Soul and Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic are better than anything Prince has made in the 00s

Stone Temple Pilots are better than Nirvana

Tori Amos is a better songwriter than Kate Bush

And one more:

There are no decent male artists left under the age of 40 (except Van Hunt). Akon, Will.i.am, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ne-Yo... they're all generic drivel.

Agree on the above mentioned.

Mine:

Tori Amos is a self-indulgent piece of milk toast.

The Gold Experience was Prince's last great album.

Jimi Hendrix didn't do all THAT much musically despite people call him a major influence.

En Vogue was the best female vocal group of the past 20 years.

Elvis Presley wasn't that exciting musically. It was 90% image, 10% talent.

U2 over overtly self-important. The more they try to be "normal", the more pretentious they end up.

KISS has NEVER done anything musically that is ever going to be worth remembering. They're writing songs that are uncatchy, boring, uninspired, and forgettable.

I definitely agree with these!

Here's my shameful admission:

Roxette > The Beatles

shared and expressed, unsolicited, to what end though?

The Black Eyed Peas' latest album 'The E.N.D' is one of the best dance albums I have heard in awhile.

Justin Timberlake's music isn't that bad.

Janet Jackson should record a loud,ballsy rock album.

agreed, but that was essentially a no-brainer

but let me add another:

Roxette has NEVER done anything musically that is every going to be worth remembering. They're songs are uncatchy, boring, uninspired, and forgettable.

Janet Jackson should record a loud,ballsy sex-tape.

I wanted to explain this a little more

If she were to do another R&B album,no one would be surprised.It would just be more of the same.The only way for her to stand out and create a big stir is to do something entirely unexpected.I'm not saying that the album would necessarily be a big seller,but it would take her in a new direction for once.Sometimes,growing and evolving is more important than record sales anyway.

To take it even further,she should title the album 'Middle Finger' Her way of saying "F you" to the haters.

I'm SO with you on this!!!! I've always said when black folks do rock n' roll, there's something different about it. Not folks like Jimi Hendrix or Living Color whatever, but when an R&B or black pop group does a rock song, most times it's just off the hook.

Examples:
Prince - Endorphinmachine, Let's Go Crazy, Peach
Janet - Black Cat
En Vogue - Free Your Mind


I wish Janet would do a simple 10 or 12 song rock album. Throw in a ballad if she needs, or whatever, but I'd love to hear her rock out.

Jill Scott is OVERRATED.

Robin Thicke Is BLAH!

The Rainbow Children is a SOLID album from start to finish despite your feelings about "the sermon".

Lauryn Hill's "Unplugged" is a MASTERPIECE.

Madonna is a talentless hag
Bjork sucks ass
Tori Amos sucks ass

Lotusflow3r is a GREAT record!
Vinyl is better than CD!
Alicia Keys - Element of Freedom sucks ass!
The Rainbow Children is a beautiful piece of Work.
Cause and Effect is CRAP

Thank you for saying this! I would have brought her up, but I put her so far out of my head, she didn't come to mind.

Unpopular opinions

Prince being a great guitarist

a lot of people ''still'' don't know that he can play!

Aretha Franklin is overrated
