Music, like food, is subjective. However....
Joe Jackson> Elvis Costello
Nick Drake is one of the best artists of all time even though his three albums didn't sell shit until many years after he killed himself.
Ramsey Lewis recorded the definitive version of "Dancing in the Street".
De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest are two of the most influential rap artists.
Bruce Cockburn, although popular in Canada, is underrated everywhere else.
Your turn.
Quoted from schwarz:Most people will never understand Ween but they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Two of my smartest friends swear this is true.
I have to spend some time listening to Ween.
Quoted from Rezdog:Nick Drake > Volkswagen
Yep...that's when people started to discover him.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Two of my smartest friends swear this is true.
I had to spend some time listening to Ween.
Easiest way in:
Quoted from schwarz:Easiest way in:
Thanks...I just now put this in my YouTube Premium queue.
The red hot chili peppers are very overrated.
Bon jovi is just terrible.
Long live MCA!
Muddy waters was a god.
Thank you for your time.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Ramsey Lewis recorded the definitive version of "Dancing in the Street".
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Gave you a thumbs up because I agree with you even though I've seen RHCP twice and they were amazing.
I still get weepy about Adam Yauch. 
Quoted from Rezdog:Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Oof.
This is tied with the Grateful Dead's disco version of absolute shite, even though I'm a deadhead.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Master of Puppets is still the best overall metal album of all time.
Rust in Peace says hello and suck it (Master is high on my list though, top 5 for sure)
BB King and"Lucille" were one of the greatest music duos of all time.
Quoted from Slugmeister:BB King and"Lucille" were one of the greatest music duos of all time.
Agreed.
Saw him/them at the Monterey Blues Festival. I was mesmerized for his entire set.
Also fortunate to have seen John Lee Hooker in Avila Beach, Cal. I was in the front row resting my arms on the stage with a big grin on my face.
The Kinks had a great concept album that went absolutely nowhere. But I love it.
It’s called “Soap Opera”
Not a country fan at all. But am a huge Staind fan, and Aaron Lewis's country music is pretty damn good. Have seen 3 times in concert, pre covid of course. Check out " forever" on utube
Quoted from cscmtp:Rust in Peace says hello and suck it
Peace Sells, man! I would have met you halfway on that!
(I was a big Megadeth fan until Dave got religion)
Quoted from VanishingVision:Power Metal is the best Pantera album by a long shot
Lol

Controversial that the Tribe is one the most influential?
Hardly, brotha!
They might very well be the greatest rap group EVER.
Quoted from Pinballsoul:The red hot chili peppers are very overrated.
Replace overrated with terrible and I’ll agree.
My thesis: any song in which I can’t clearly understand the lyrics the first time through is less good.
For example: ABBA , John Denver or Bob Dylan > Nirvana, Ozzy or any song after 2000 (all awful)
Bobby Bare beats all.
Top most romantic songs
2 - Justify Your Love by Madonna
1 - Closer by Nine Inch Nails
Honorable mention: Good Friend and a Bottle of Pills ;P
Quoted from schwarz:Most people will never understand Ween but they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
My man!!
Quoted from schwarz:Most people will never understand Ween but they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Just wanted to post twice how true this is.

Not sure how Ozzy applies to that. Sure he may be hard to understand in interviews but he can sing lyrics very clearly for the most part.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Master of Puppets is still the best overall metal album of all time.
Slayer Reign in Blood for me
Quoted from schwarz:Most people will never understand Ween but they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
When I was dropping a LOT of acid in high school, Ween and The Residents were my favorite bands to trip to. Saw them live in Vancouver around 96 or 97
Quoted from Luckydogg420:U2 sucks
Agree 1000% U2 sucks
Coldplay is the worst music I've ever heard
Prince's music is terrible. Guy could shred an axe alongside some of the best, but the music was just awful
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Prince's music is terrible. Guy could shred an axe alongside some of the best, but the music was just awful
I’ve said the same and it’s super unpopular. I also say that living in Minneapolis. There’s Purple Rain and Sign O the Times, but past that most people don’t own any Prince albums unless you are a collector. He is a musical genius and an amazing guitar player. It’s just that the vast majority of his music isn’t accessible for the masses.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Beyoncé sucks is a very unpopular opinion

Quoted from Jaybird815:Rush, undeniably talented musicians but every time I hear Geddy Lee’s voice I want to drive ice picks into my ears.
You normally bring mirth to me, but today... great sadness. I weep for your soul.
Quoted from skink91:You normally bring mirth to me, but today... great sadness. I weep for your soul.
Lol, I’d be a huge Rush fan if all they did were instrumentals.
