90's Hip-Hop is ****ing amazing but the vast majority of any Hip-Hop produced in the 70's-80's is under-produced, simply-rhymed trash.

The 80's were a horrible era for everything music and fashion related, save Michael Jackson and Prince (sure there are a couple artists I am forgetting better making a point here).

Grunge is hardly a respectable genre.

The Strokes are overrated - sounds like another of the mill garage rock band to me. Arctic Monkeys are better than them. As is Kings of Leon, especially their first 2 albums.

Vampire Weekend are actually a good band, their first album is a personal classic.

George has the worst solo career of any Beatle.

Red Hot Chili Peppers are good band with some absolute classics but they might just be the most overrated, overplayed, and over-referenced band of the last 25 years.

Radiohead is for people that cut their wrists and are scared of a good rhythm.

Bob Dylan is better than his voice allows him to be.

With that being said, Dylan isn't much of anything save a good lyricist and a competent songwriter.

The Rolling Stones (as with many rock bands) are mixed horrendously. Why must Jagger have like 3-4 overdubs on every vocal? Alot of the music is cracking but I can barely understand most of the lyrics of Exile On Main Street.

The idea that Led Zeppelin isn't a top 3 band of all-time is absolutely ludicrous.

Queen doesn't get referenced enough as one of the greatest bands of all time.

The vast majority of indie music was created for people that can't dance and want to still feel relevant and cool... so they made a genre that "no one else can know about"... which really means, "no one else will LIKE" (because it's utter ****e).

"The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani is a great pop tune.
