Unpopular Music Opinions

Led Zeppelin is the most overrated band of all time. I absolutely DESPISE every single song I have EVER heard from them. Robert Plant can't sing, Jimmy Page is the most overrated guitar player in history, John Bonham sounds like he's kicking his kit down a flight of stairs and who the hell is John Paul Jones?
Whew! I REALLY need to get that off my chest.

Well it looks like everybody is despised.

I'll pile on....

The only Stones that I can listen to after all these years is the stuff they did with Mick Taylor.

Led Zep could have been an awesome band if Joe Cocker had accepted Page's invite instead of recommending Robert Plant.

Aerosmith should have stayed "broken up" about 1980

Roy Buchanan needed better management. He could have, should have been huge.

Ray Charles became irrelevant when he kicked heroin.....I mean come on....singing with a muppet?

John Cougar and Eddie Money had careers due to a lack of 80's competition.

Fleetwood Mac was a much better band before Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham came on board.

Spur of the moment a few years ago I went to see Cheap Trick. I have a few musician friends who are into them. Never a band I had much feelings about either way. It was a small club and I stood fairly close to the stage. I was one of the worst acts I have ever seen. And prob a band that toured constantly pre-Covid for 25 years A lot of bad music to sit through to get to I Want You to Want Me.

Hall & Oates are the gods of thunder!!

A hundred years ago my girlfriend talked me into going to see them at Jones Beach. I thought, "Okay, I can sing along to all of their casual pop hits at a great outdoor venue. Why not?" Our seats were relatively close to the stage, and by the end of the night (and for seemingly weeks after) I COULDN'T HEAR A FRICKIN' THING!!! They were Led Zeppelin times a thousand, and it surprised the living crap out of me!!!

I always liked their theme song to the little known movie "Up The Creek".
