They kind of wrote the songwriting playbook that allowed others to execute on it much better in the future.

What's your most thumbs down-worthy music opinion? Here's mine:

Ham

Jul 8, 10:08am

Wow, that’s a really bad take.

Japan Coug

Jul 8, 10:09am

U2 is dramatically overrated and not good.

Jul 8, 10:10am

175 million records sold, just sold out 40 nights at the sphere, this is always

Looks like he aced the assignment then.

"not good" may be off, but "overrated" is definitely in play

Overrated

He said thumbs down

I was a big fan years ago; rarely listen now

Different tastes I guess. I find that the more stuff after R&H has more staying

Definitely thumbs down worthy, but hardly a hot take.

Wow, Boise, I feel for you.

Eddie Veder's voice makes Pearl Jam unlistenable.

Vedder today or Vedder anytime? 1990's Vedder was one of the best

I went to two concerts of Pearl Jam, and owned several albums. After the second concert, I decided I'd had enough.

Bob Vance

Jul 8, 10:26am

His voice? Or his incomprehensible slurs of grunge scatting?

Still Blue

Jul 8, 10:44am

Yeah……You win.

Natedog916

You mean correct, but likely to be thumbed down by CB?

Kilgore Trout

Jul 8, 10:10am

Exactly

Ham

Jul 8, 10:20am

Probably that I hardly ever listen to any.

Rush is not great music, Lee's voice is unbearable.

Good stuff and not surprising at all.

Country sucks. All of it.

That's a popular, but wrong take. As opposed to a correct, but unpopular take.

On CB? It will get me thumbs down. Plenty. Plenty of thumbs up too, but it is a

I don’t think you understood the assignment.

I really thought the country music people on here would thumbs down me. Maybe

One exception...

Nope. You might've gotten me with

Journey, Styx and REO Speedwagon suck.

Snoop Dogg doesn't have a shred of musical talent. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Rolling Stones are way overrated.

I don't like Johnny Cash.

Queen sucks. I still can't believe there are people who unironically listen to

Dang. I think you're right.

RUSH and Beyonce are terrible. Milli Vanilli actually put out some good stuff

Beatles songs suck and are boring

Joel Tilton

Some great melodies, but definitely a bit boring compared to newer music.

I doubt the Beatles wouldve been super popular had they come even 15 years later

RUNBYU1

Didn't you see the movie 'Yesterday' 😉

Summer of ‘69 is the best song by a Canadian.

Natedog916

Jul 8, 10:47am

Uh, obviously you've never heard of BNL.

Ham

Jul 8, 10:51am

Virtually all of the popular music we are discussing will be forgotten in 150

Still Blue

As will most of us.

Not Zeppelin

Impossible to know; future people might have bad taste

Still Blue

Jul 8, 1:46pm

Who knows. In the 80s, it was hard to find 40s and 50s music on the radio and NONE of the kids and adults listened to

Bert609

Jul 9, 11:26am

I agree, '70s and '80s rock are different animals. '70s rock is just as popular

Yes, this is correct — it's true of that kind of Latin music too.

Frank Sinatra and Luciano Pavarotti are mediocre.

Insanity. You should be drawn and quartered. Francis Albert Sinatra is the GOAT.

Yeah, he's the goat of being . . . um, bad at crooning.
