Phil Anselmo is a great vocalist.
Signals is one of Rush's best albums.
I like Coldplay.
Thelonious Monk is one of the best jazz pianists ever (probably not that unpopular).
Toto is cool.
The Strokes are a good alternative rock band. Yes, I said it.
One Hot Minute is RHCP's best album apart from BSSM, and possibly Mother's Milk.
King Crimson is one of most incredible genius amazing musicgasmic mindblowingly awesome bands in existence.
John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess are capable of writing interesting music.
The Eagles are great - I enjoy them a lot.
The heaviest music on Earth is doom metal.
Can isn't that unlistenable.
Joe C0cker's covers are awesome - and his cover of 'With a Little Help from My Friends' is better than the Beatles' original.
Velvet Revolver is a kickass band.
I like U2 - but they are horribly overrated.

I agree with nearly most of this, except C0ckers version of WALHFMF being better than the original and Toto being cool.
And Latimer is a much better guitarist than Gilmour technically, though I still prefer Gilmour and consider him to be the greater guitarist, and with more lasting appeal, afterall, few people know who Latimer is, not that it makes him any less good, but it does mean he lacks in the impact/influence departmen, regardless it's nice to know me and Les are not the only Camel fans around here. And I personally consider AIC the be to least best grunge band of the big 4, but that's just me.
Also I don't really consider One Hot Minute to be among RHCP's best, though it does have some of the most f*cking amazing bass playing I have ever heard.
