I can agree with the Fugazi. Those are their 2 best

and it's more like Plastic Surgery Disasters > Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

I like Todd Rundgren.

Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra are all rad.

I don't think that is an unpopular opinion.

I think Steve Albini might be misunderstood. He seems like he is just sort of a fiery guy who doesn't take shit from anyone.

Anyways, I'll do the underrated overrated thing.

Underrated bands-
Jesus and Mary Chain
Slint
Happy Go Licky
Rites of Spring
Post VU John Cale
Suicide
Prince
PJ Harvey
Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon
Gary Wilson
Squeeze
Gary Numan/Tubeway Army
Todd Rundgren
Gang of Four
The Cramps
Beat Happening

Overrated bands-
AC-DC
Rolling Stones
Bob Dylan
The Smiths
Yo La fucking Tengo
Post-VU Lou Reed
The Flaming Lips
Dinosaur Jr. (I like them, but I don't think they are spectacular)


Some album comparisons
Bowie's best two albums are Diamond Dogs and Station to Station, not Hunky fucking Dory and Ziggy Stardust as popular opinion states.

Pixie's best album is Trompe Le Monde

Bowie sucks.

There.

i love skate punk bands like nofx and i really enjoy third wave ska bands. i think alot of sonic youth lyrics are trying too hard to be poetic and they should just shut up and play guitar.

dietzer123 04.16.2006 12:28 PM

and i can't believe all the bob dylan trashing i'm seeing.

I think that too, sometimes.

Torn Curtain 04.16.2006 12:42 PM

To be honest I'm growing tired of the music icons bashing on this board, that's really childish and narrow-minded sometimes...

samrago 04.16.2006 12:58 PM

anybody feel like hating on Kate Bush, Greatest Singer Alive? I dare you.

truncated 04.16.2006 01:01 PM

Strangely enough, I've never even heard her.

sonikold 04.16.2006 01:18 PM

I think most Fugazi fans will agree on that.

Yeah, I love I'm in on the Killtaker. Although Repeater is really good too.



By the way. I hate the Grateful Dead.

Just to be clear, this is sarcasm right? Normally I'd assume so, but I'm never sure with you...

I have always found her vocal style to be unlistenable.
She is undeniably talented, so I won't say she sucks, but I could go my whole life without ever hearing her sing again.
Other singers who similarly bug the crap out of me despite obvious talent:

BJORK
Tori Amos
Joanna Newsom
The girls in CocoRosie
Tom Waits
Jeff Magnum

Yeah, I guess the decades of fame, millions of dollars, gazillions of record sales and numerous hit singles would defintely place him in the "underappreciated" category.
Ahem.
