Unpopular music opinion (borrowed from Twitter)

[????]

The Stone Roses are pretty average

[Jeremy]

This is not controversial. A few good songs, quite a few poor ones. Poor singer. Seemed relevant at the time.

Come on Jeremy, play along. Where's yours?

[HonaloochieB]

When the drummer's a better singer than the vocalist, it's time for an urgent band meeting, possibly too late now.

[Lowlander]

Morrissey. I find his voice very irritating.

Elvis. Famous for singing covers of samey 12-bar-blues songs.

Bohemian Rhapsody Most overrated song EVER !

Rhapsody.. An instrumental composition of irregular form that often incorporates improvisation.

Whole of the Moon

All drive me up the wall..

Nirvana - Load of self obsessed skag head angst.

The Who are well overdue for being driven off Beachy Head in an old Jag

Put Paul Weller in the boot while we're at it

What a waste of a Jag

Did I say 'Jag'

I meant a 94 Renault Megane in metallic pale green

The Who? I still enjoy their early stuff. Never been keen on the long-haired bare-chested rock opera stuff though.

The Beatles. Most overrated, drawn out for decades rubbish I've ever heard. Sir Paul seems to be dragged out for almost every 'state occasion' to rehash the monotonous heyday tunes too. Grating.

A Jag? Behave...

Blimey, that was quick, the first Beatles-hating-posturing ninny in a thread of this sort.

Disliking The Beatles in the context of pop music isn't an opinion, it's an attitude, a quasi maverick pose that just won't do.

The Beatles and George Martin set the bar for pop and then raised it and then some more.

While doing so they made pop songs of great beauty and something more.

For what it's worth, I've got my theory of the three 'B's who created what we've got today, popwise, rockwise and all else The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Berry Gordy.

Although if I never hear Yellow Submarine again...

I like this a lot.

I have never actively hated them, not to start with at least. I just found them excruciatingly overrated and influenced primarily by manufactured pop stars of the early rock' n roll era. Granted they wrote their own tunes, great. Lots of people were doing that years before them. In post war Britain they were seen as a big deal because let's face it, we had Cliff Richard setting the bar for popular music. Enough said. Most people that rate them weren't around the first time and believed all the hype they were fed in the following decades. I was there, it wasn't great.

You don't half write some crap Louisa. HonaloochieB is spot on. I was there too. It was ace.

[Jeremy]

So on unpopular opinions... I think these days Paul McCartney is under-rated, and John Lennon is over-rated.

While macca being dragged out for every kind of ceremony is a bit tiresome, he wrote some great stuff for the Beatles (and some Wings material is actually decent too). Just forget anything after, say, 1975.

Meanwhile John was not without his sins... Imagine is diabolical. And as for his whole "arty" phase... arggh. I think he has been remembered a bit too kindly. If he was still around, he'd probably be way more cringeworthy than Paul.

[Jah Lush]

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that Jezzer. Lennon's comeback albums were fecking dire.

Nah I don't talk crap, I just have a valid opinion about yet another overrated 60's pop group, who were fortunate enough to hit the big time both sides of the Atlantic (luck more than judgement may I add). Music is subjective anyway. I think Jah and HonaloochieB are classic examples of pop brainwashing. I prefer to look at these things from afar rather than be lead along with the crowd. The Beatles were average artists who were pretty good at writing catchy lyrics off the back of the style of Elvis et al - who had already set the bar pretty damn high across the pond.

Proof positive you have absolutely idea what you're talking about.
