re: What are some unpopular opinions about songs or musicians?

That's easy to say forty years after the fact. They were actually fairly cutting edge when they first appeared on the scene in the early '70's.

Cutting edge? They were part of the southern rock movement, but they were hardly cutting edge.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they weren't a good band and didn't put out their fair share of hits. But I think a lot of their southern rock cult like status is attributed to the plane crash. Much like Nirvana with Cobain. But I digress....

My opinion, don't know how popular: 99% of bands with female leads would have been better if it was a man.

Interesting. I prefer female leads.

Simple man is pretty catchy

Would you mind listing the hip hop artists you know/ think are the most popular/ are considered "best"

I hate Bob Dylan.

I like a lot of their songs, but I was referring to Sweet Home Alabama

Gotcha

The Black Keys have already outlived their relevancy by about a year, and yet, they play on the radio every 5 songs or so, and are on every other commercial.
The Black Keys are, IMO, almost as awful as Mumford and Sons, and are similar to them in that:
They allow traditional pop-exclusive listeners to act like they are well-rounded and musically aware, when, in fact, these bands are extremely pedestrian in terms of talent.

No rock album since has topped Weezer's Blue Album.*
