What’s an unpopular opinion about a popular/loved/iconic band or musical artist?

[RockyMtNole]

The Rolling Stones are…meh.

 

[AFM22]

AC/DC is the nickelback of the 70s

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm curious: @JohnHughsPartner, the homie from Steely Dan got mad when his band was labeled Yacht Rock. I humbly request your thoughts:

A). Steely Dan is Yacht Rock and they're awesome
B). Steely Dan is not Yacht Rock but they're still great
C). Steely Dan is Yacht Rock but they suck
D). Steely Dan is not Yacht Rock and they also suck

We booked a local steely Dan tribute band at the music venue I worked for on New Year’s Eve one year and they were prob the 2nd worst people we’ve ever worked with

No. Judy Collins.

 

[tigres88]

No. Judy Collins.

She took "send in the clowns" literally with her own person huh

 

[AFM22]

She took "send in the clowns" literally with her own person huh

She was just a huge b*tch to everyone she interacted with, including all the fans that traveled through a blizzard for her meet and greet.

Did she try and touch your butt or nah

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Van Halen with DLR is better than with Hagar. How many covers did they do? Create your own music if you are great.

What year was this?

I know someone that did PR for Celine Dion and said she was a drama queen.

 

[AFM22]

No she was like 75 at the time

 

[SeaPA]

Most of Zeppelins stuff sucks.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Nickleback is a great American rock band!

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Most of Zeppelins stuff sucks.

Such an overrated band,.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Bob Dylan is so overrated.

 

[AFM22]

Nickleback is a great American rock band!

Sorry, you’re too young to make this statement.

Also they can’t ever be a great American rock band.

 

[AFM22]

What year was this?

This was prob sometime around 2014

 

[Moral]

I would but they are too obscure and you guys probably don't know them.

 

[Jerome Silberman]

Arctic Monkeys have a discography that matches or bests nearly any other rock band in history.

Sturgill Simpson is wonderful, but Vance Powell is the main reason he became famous.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Sorry, you’re too old to make this statement.

Also they can’t ever be a great American rock band.

FIFY and to that, I say touché

 

[AFM22]

Nickelback is Canadian btw

unless that was the joke

Sound & Color by Alabama Shakes might be one of my favorite albums ever.

Oh shid, you win.

Prince is the greatest musician of all time. He played every single instrument and did most of all his production on the Purple Rain album, and throughout his career I believe the most demo’ed musician. He made so much music I don’t think any one can understand how deep his grip is on modern music going back to 1981.

What's unpopular about that?

Do a lot of people agree with that, that Prince is the greatest musician of all time? Ha! Idk man I must be mainstream.

100% A

FAGen is a douche, but they’ve put out some hammers

 

[bagdropper]

By my count they did...10 I believe. With Dave...

You Really Got Me
Where Have All The Good Times Gone
Ice Cream Man
Big Bad Bill
You're No Good
(Oh) Pretty Woman
Dancing In The Street
Happy Trails

Sammy...

A Apolitical Blues
We Won't Get Fooled Again

I seem to recall DLR era concerts performing...

I'm So Glad
Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers

I may be missing some. They were a huge bar band in the mid 70's and their set lists were enormous. They usually pulled them out at outdoor festival locations.

Sammy live...

Rock and Roll
Keep on Rockin' In The Free World

Then Sammy solo stuff...

I Can't Drive 55
Give To Live


There are several very famous performers that didn't write a single hit song of their own, so I don't understand any criticism of it.

Collabs with Pitbull where his only contribution is yelling "oooooooo-EEEEEEEE" are not needed to progress humanity any further. We get it, the man is a party wherever he goes, is clearly charming and has a magnetic personality. But we can maybe move on from this specific "lyric".

I am glad you have allowed me to get that off my chest.

I couldn’t believe how terrible the Prince concert was I went to. Massively disappointed.

 

[stillh8unlv]

The Who and the Doors both suck and are massively overrated

How dare you criticize Mr. Worldwide!
