David Bowie's first album that he was so deeply embarrassed about is actually a pretty fun folk rock album. obviously not his best or anything, but nothing to be ashamed of, either. Given some of the absolute crap in his back catalogue - including stuff recorded during his supposed glory years - being embarrassed by an album of juvenilia seems a bit silly. I've never listened to it, but it can't be much worse than say, Young Americans or eighties Bowie.

I cannot stand Billie Ellish. Chicago's power ballad era is just as good as their jazz-rock era.

Let's see
Led Zep,Pink FLoyd,Rush and The Eagles never had good music.
Metallica became horrible once Cliff died.

The majority of Led Zeppelin songs would be better if they were a minute or two shorter.
Everything Michael Jackson did after thriller, ranges from mediocre to godawful.
Paul McCartney is easily the most talented Beatle. I agree that some of his music can ring a little hollow. But, in terms of pure music ability, he’s the most talented.
I understand why Tom WIts is so revered. But I can’t get past that voice. I feel a similar way about Neil Young.

I refuse to give U2 the time of day to appreciate their music because I hate Bono.

"The Beatles sucked, actually" is no longer an edgy or interesting opinion to have.

For me the Beatles were good for the first 3 albums. Then went to crap after that. Same with Elvis.

Chart music today all seems to be very similar and needs a new break out sound.
David Bowie is over-rated
Instrumental music is better than music with vocals.

I think I've already mentioned this in this thread but I'll do so again.
Be Here now by Oasis really isn't as bad an album as so many people claim it to be.

There are too many f***ing remixes in rap and hip-hop still to this day.

This is kind of mixed in a way, especially if you were around in the early-2000s. I have to say that I give Bow Wow credit on his rapping because even when he was a kid, he did show that he had skills. I will even say the same as when he was even younger when he was a part of Death Row. It's just that he was everywhere when he came out with "Beware of Dog" and "Doggy Bag," and really, those songs were mostly aimed at a young audience. He had that "kid appeal" that even Kris Kross had when they released their first album. Though I can say that he had some skills, I just wasn't a big fan of some of the songs he put out.

I think Closer is such a terrible song to the point it completely prevents me from even bothering to listen to anything else by NIN. Black Hole Sun is also a garbage song. So droning and boring. Chris Cornell is on my Mt. Rushmore of rock and that song is horrendous
