That's probably because Robert Plant wasn't an instrumentalist.

Harmonica?

In fact he played harmonica on a Primal Scream album.

1. The Ramones are garbage... They are...

2. Anyone who tells you that Syd Barrett 'Floyd was better than Gilmour Floyd, obviously smokes crack.

3. KISS was awful as well.

4. Pearl Jam's longevity has made a bunch of people look stupid. Especially for a band that people repetitively claimed were bandwagon jumpers.

5. Nick Drake is unlistenable and BORING. Like Syd Barrett, people only say they like him because they think it makes them sound knowledgeable.

Oh and the dude who said that Hendrix was sloppy and thus not the best guitarist ever. I'm not saying he was or wasn't but I'd rather hear a sloppy player push the envelope than someone noodle perfectly. Its like people who say I can play Hendrix. ****, so can I but he created it... period.

About the only area where I disagree with you.

Okay, more unpopular opinions.

Underoath, Story Of The Year, and Chiodos are pretty amazing bands.

The Beatles, despite their influence, suck in general.

This is based on this forum though, not Hot Topic, or Rolling Stone.

I know , imagine still buying their albums after all this time

Some people never learn.

Indie pretty much ruled the 90s and was great in the 80s too. But I think Indie is way too overexposed now, and right now prog has a lot better stuff to offer as far as I'm concerned. The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Ozric Tentacles, Spocks Beard, Flower Kings, Battles, Kayo Dot, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, The Fall of Troy, Godspeed You!!! Black Emperor, Isis. Overall this is a lot more interesting and musically stimulating to me than todays Indie scene.

HEY. Thats an unpopular opinion, good thing I posted that here eh?

Agreed on the prog part. I think prog is going through a golden age and it seems that a lot of proggers agree that this is possibly the best era since the 70s.
