1. One can count the number of good Muse songs on two fingers - Bliss and Starlight, while otoh you cannot count any decent tunes by The Killers as there are none.

2. Warriors of the World Unite by Manowar is so embarrassingly bad that it's even worse than other cringeworthy tunes like say Thunderstruck or Eye of the Tiger.

3. Don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but Survive of Horror should get a vinyl release asap. Preferably housed in a gatefold sleeve and not as a limited release.

Saying that about Muse but then saying that those are their best?! Not on...

Long term gains.
1. Kurt Cobain - massively overhyped. Average singer, average guitarist.

2. Kasabian - best band of the 21st century.

1. I have yet to hear a decent footy related tune. Not even one! Please leave your suggestions below this comment if you can help me out. Much appreciated ta.

2. Any piece of music that is written specifically for monetary gain is,by definition, shite. By monetary gain I mean top 10/20 material.

3. Like everybody else, I was saddened to hear of Chris Cornell's death, may the poor chap rest in peace. However, unlike everybody else, I've always thought Soundgarden are highly overrated.

4. Did I mention before that crap bands like Green Day/Rancid/Sum 41 et al aren't truly punk bands? I already did? Never mind.

This is a decent football song

Liam Gallagher is a woeful frontman with zero musical talent.

Arbury's post has reminded of the looks I get (the 'are you mad?' type of look) when I say that Ryan Adams's Wonderwall is a perfect example of when a cover can be even better than the original version. Some people are adamant that this is impossible, as they believe the original will always be the better one.

You hear his Springsteen-style version of Taylor Swift's 1989 record? Pretty good.

Father John Misty called it grotesque and covered Ryan Adams' Springsteen-style cover of Taylor Swift in the style of Velvet Underground. I love that guy.

Jonny cash version of hurt(an improvement on the Trent reznor original) is one example but there's not many in fairness, not off the top of my head anyway.

I actually prefer the NIN version. That album is packed full of beautiful renderings though. Cash's version of bridge over troubled water has me in bits.
