Nirvana may be overrated, fair enough.
There was plenty of good music in the Eighties. If you can only think of two artists in ten years that you like then maybe you shouldn't be making statements like that.
Theres not many bands that The Arctic Monkeys are better than. The Strokes arent one of them.
You prefer Ringo's solo stuff to Georges? Do your ears work alright?
So you're claiming that Radiohead can be depressing? Fair enough. Not all people who can appreciate "depressing" music are depressed or "slit their wrists".
If your only point about Bob Dylan was that he is great even though he cant sing, then fair enough.
If Led Zeppelin are #3 then who are #5, #4, #2 and #1?
Queen get plenty of recognition. They are an English treasure. I wouldn't fancy many artists to beat them sales-wise with any future posthumous releases. Shame they are shit.
I dont even understand what you were trying to say about indie music.

Disagree with the first point, nothing really more to say about it.
As I said I'm making a point about the 80's. I'm sure with some thought there are probably 10-15 artists/bands who were good in the 80's, but compared to any other decade, including the 50's, that's friggin' pitiful. Obviously the 00's were mostly crap but at least we didn't have to bear through that atrocious 80's production... the same old synths, the same old snares, the same cheesy reverb... and that spanned genres. The Smiths, there's another good 80's group.
"A Certain Romance", "When The Sun Goes Down", "Crying Lightning", "Brianstorm", etc. etc. Great band. And there's more
Solo George tried to be too complex structurally and melodically in his solo stuff. Put me to sleep. If I want to listen to art rock I'll... no, I just won't.
"Radiohead is for people who slit their wrists and are scared of a good rhythm. A few sad/forlorn songs is alright to keep a career interesting but who wants to be the Wes Craven of rock and roll? Mind you that I think some of their work is fantastic, namely their first two albums, but I'm more into uplifting music" <--from earlier post
The Beatles are number one, Zeppelin is number two... don't see how that's not obvious lol
I really have nothing to say against Dylan. Too many good songs/projects. He might be a tad overrated in the fact that SO many people suck his **** but other than that he's amazing
Queen is crap? That's a laugh
Modern indie rock is for hipsters with no rhythm. Full stop
