Top 10 Common Comments Made About Specific Music Artists

The Top Ten

  1. "All their songs sound the same" - AC/DC

    Most of the people who say this can't even name five AC/DC songs that sound similar.

    This is true. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. While it is true, that doesn't mean it's bad.

  2. "They ripped off so many songs" - Led Zeppelin

  3. "Music for stoners" - Pink Floyd

    This is truer for the band Sleep.

  4. "The greatest singer of all time" - Freddie Mercury

    Except for Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Frank Sinatra, and at least a dozen classical singers, from Pavarotti to Bocelli.

    He's one of them. But what I love about Queen the most is Brian May.

    "Greatest singer of all time"? Who said that, Freddie Mercury?

  5. "They created rock music" - The Beatles

    No. But they were instrumental (no pun intended) in its development. As for Chuck Berry, rock is not interchangeable with rock 'n' roll, which is an offshoot of blues. And Chuck invented neither.

    If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'. - John Lennon

    To us, he was a magician, making music that was exotic yet normal at the same time. We learned so many things from him, which led us into a dream world of rock 'n' roll music. About Chuck Berry - Paul McCartney

    I like the Beatles, but they didn't create it. The people who say this should tell Chuck Berry.

  6. "His singing is crap, but his songwriting is amazing" - Bob Dylan

    Yeah, I hold my hands up and admit that I have said this. I do like Dylan. His songwriting is amazing. But his voice... he sounds like an inebriated something slurring to a dog peeing against a tree. It's like having a fantastically written novel read out loud by someone who is illiterate. It dilutes the genius.

    Not in his early career, but in the 80s his voice was terrible. Especially on Empire Burlesque.

  7. "They were only good in the 60s and early 70s" - The Rolling Stones

    Still around and still making great music. Their current song, Living in a Ghost Town, has the ability to sound both current and yesteryear. How many bands are able to do that?

    I agree with this one. But their last album was amazing.

  8. "They invented metal" - Black Sabbath

  9. "They're like a mixture of The Beatles and Pink Floyd" - Tame Impala

  10. "The real king of rock and roll" - Chuck Berry

    This is really arguable. He and a few other mentionables were largely responsible for the popularization of rock 'n' roll, but the "king" title is wholly symbolic and representative neither of talent nor uniqueness nor of true pioneer status.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    "Great music, but a pretentious fanbase" - Radiohead

  12. ?

    "Chester's voice is the best" - Linkin Park

    13. The Contenders

  13. "They sold out" - Metallica

  14. "They invented metal" - Deep Purple

  15. "The worst singer ever" - Justin Bieber

    He can be the worst male singer, but the worst singer ever goes to Taylor Swift.

  16. "Poser metal" - Korn

  17. "A poor man's Led Zeppelin" - Greta Van Fleet

  18. "Megadeth is better than Metallica" - Megadeth

  19. "Alex is hot" - Arctic Monkeys

    No one seems to care about their music or other band members. Everyone is in love with their lead singer, Alex Turner. If you go to their YouTube comment section, you will most likely see a bunch of comments about Alex. It's like the other band members don't even exist. AM is not Alex Music. Believe it or not, it actually stands for Arctic Monkeys (plural).

  20. "They made the first heavy metal song" - Steppenwolf

  21. "Testament should be in the big five of thrash metal" - Testament

  22. "Hillbilly Tool" - Primus
