Money ruined them.

They did their best creative stuff when they were young and hungry.

Don’t Stop by Journey 😂

>I think people like you who prefer edgy, underground artists still a lot of the time try to give reasons the classics aren't "great" to them, rather than just say they aren't their taste.

They literally aren't my taste. I was just trying to give an in depth explanation as to why. I'm sure you could take a song I think is great and break down why you think it isn't and I would end up disagreeing with you.

Also, understanding the technical ability and musical elements behind a piece of music isn't going to make the sounds entering my ears any different. Heck, you even admit this yourself when you said David Bowie is talented but you wouldn't download his music. I feel the same way about Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Eagles, Journey, Bee Gees, et cetera.

Yeah, at this point I'm sure it sounds like I'm doing that annoying "I'm a special snowflake because I don't like mainstream music" thing, but for whatever reason I genuinely just don't get a huge amount of enjoyment from it.

By the way, most people dislike what I listen to, so I think it's a wash.

How does that indicate that Brian May is a prick? Because he wanted to tell a story differently than Sacha Baron Cohen?

Soulja boy - Crank that Flo Rida ft. Tpain - low Alicia keys - no one Adele - someone like you Carly Rae jempson - call me maybe Fetty wap - trap Queen Kodak Black- super gremlin

Old Weezer was quite enjoyable, but as they progressed and starting putting out music like “Beverly Hills” they began to cater to a different crowd.

When you start to make stupid music, don’t be surprised when stupid people start to become the main portion of the fan base.

As opposed to MTV telling you what to listen to our Radio in the past?

Did those kill music too? I'd argue those filtered what music got broadcasted to the audience so the less repaint we were on those two mediums the better music accessibility became but with that means accessibility to more middling stuff to buy I'd take this over MTV curating my taste

Freddie imo. Just watch Wimbley 86 concert.

Check out Ministry.

Honestly, just thinking that music can be good or bad and that it's not all purely just a matter of taste is already a controversial opinion enough to get you crucified in much of the music community

But besides that my answer is that ACDC and Guns N Roses are two of the most overrated bands ever and their vocalists sound horrible

'Mmm Bop' by Hanson?

To hear her sing live is amazing. That little rib cage and throat project that voice so hard! She is all over the register and she’s running around the stage. She’s an amazing vocalist and performer

I like them. Didn't realize there is a lot of hate for them. Many people like to find something to hate. I say take it or leave it. Why waste the energy.

That take is QUITE hot

I've been preaching this one for a while. We're living in a golden age for underground music, but everyone just wants to scream that we're in a dark age for popular music

Listen to Tom Jones sing Cry to me , he sang it on a TV show and even at his age he can still out sing most new performers

Your ranking of the big 4 is starting to sound identical to mine. Who's your number 1?

phish are terrible

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band - Cheap Trick

Moldy oldie

Pearls Before Swine - When the War Began

Seal.

Doesn't he know for sure?

Not sure what you call it, but the song is called "It's a Small World". You can hear it at Disneyland. You're welcome!

I didn't even know there is hate against U2. Large 90s rock bands like U2 or Muse are called "overrated" in the worst case, but I don't think they have a significant number of haters, like Nickelback or Imagine Dragons do.
