That's why Keith Richards is awesome. Play the f'n riff. The only people who want to hear you noodle are other guitarists.


I was just lightly skimming this thread and saw this . . . God almighty I agree. At least when it comes to rock n roll.

I remember a discussion on this board with somebody about the leads in Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil. My point was that they were two of the greatest solos on record. The other guy said he liked them but they weren't great guitar playing. frick PEOPLE MISS THE GODDAMNED POINT!!!

Lindsey Buckingham's solo on "Go Your Own Way" is a good example of this. Simple but effective.

Not overrated as much as the fact that they play too many notes. That's not a good thing in rock.

The Band is very overrated.

I've never listened to Depeche Mode.

Apparently, thinking Lecrae is a good rapper is unpopular

Your opinions on music are pretty wack


My music tastes are pretty varied, though. I think I eventually most people will end up agreeing with me on a few points, but only after they've called me retarded a dozen or so times. But, seriously, don't hesitate to call me retarded. I've got older brothers...it won't phase me.


And, yes, Outkast is amazing. I wish they'd get back together.

We may not agree on The Beatles, bobbyray21, but we can agree on this!

Horrible on guitar? I'm not sure anyone that knows anything about playing guitar would agree with you.

"Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel is not a good song. A boring pedestrian melody.


Rex - I will go this far - it is merely an "okay" song.

However, recall that most of the attention was due to the music video, directed by Stephen Johnson. Heck, Sledgehammer is probably the worst Gabriel song that ever charted (in a similar way that Pour Some Sugar on Me - by Def Leppard might share this characteristic for the fine band from Sheffield.)

1. Jay-Z is an average rapper

2. Big Boi is more talented than Andre 3000

3. The most original hip hop music of the aughts can be found for free on B.o.B's pre-first-album mixtapes.

(3a. Though Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was very original as well.)

4. Azealia Banks deserves way more love than she's getting.

(4a. Also, I would have sex with her.)

5. Kelly Rowland is sexier than Beyonce.

6. R&B is even more unlistenable than modern country.

7. Karen O has the best voice in rock

8. Of all the cheesy 80s hair bands, Sebastian Bach had the best pipes.

9. The best song put out in the last five years is either "Sleepyhead" or "Some Nights".

10. The 930 club is the best music venue in the world.

At rapping? Maybe. Overall musical prowess? No way.

jimi hendrix is the most overrated guitarist of all time. his "lore" has been more influential than his talent ever was.


The guy played the guitar upside fricking down. That's like a normal right handed pitcher learning how to throw a 95 mph fastball left handed.

Now, that being said...I don't think his band was all that great.


Also: to throw my 2 cents in there: whoever is responsible for taking good bands and turning their music to shite can DIAF. I don't know if it's the label or the managers or what. This is the problem with music today if you ask me. Prime examples are Gary Clark Jr. and Black Keys.

With Gary, listen to his EP, and then listen to his new album...garbage.

With The Black Keys: listen to magic potion, and then listen to brothers. Garbage.

Completely different styles of music.
