Top 10 Things People Feel They Have to Say About Music Even If They Don't Agree

The ultimate truth. People have to say these things even if it's against their own will.

The Top Ten

  1. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers ever

    I should've added "Freddie Mercury is the best singer ever." Anyway, I know he is talented, but there are other singers better than him (for me).

    For example, I like Robert Plant's singing and M. Shadows's singing more than his. So, I'd say they are better than him (my opinion). I can give my reasons why they're my favorites more than Freddie.

    I like Freddie's voice too, but a lot say that he has the greatest voice ever. I honestly think he doesn't. Not the best, one of the best (again, my opinion).

    I truly think that he is the best singer who ever walked on Earth. I know every song from Queen and Freddie's solo album, plus songs on the Barcelona album with Caballé.

    I am sure that he was and is the best singer of all time. I listen to a lot of music and love many bands and singers, but nobody can match Freddie's talent.

  2. The Beatles is the best rock band ever

    To begin with, it's inaccurate to label the Beatles as a "rock" band, in part because "rock" has no firm definition.

    In the beginning, they were largely a rock 'n' roll cover band (rock 'n' roll is NOT rock), and they were excellent. When they began writing in earnest, they effectively founded what was "rock" at the time and for the next decade or so.

    They got weird in the psychedelic era, yet still offered premium "rock" mixed in with the "concept" stuff. At the end, Lennon's influence was still "rock" and rock 'n' roll, while McCartney became more and more pop. After the split, Lennon remained basically true to his roots, except for catering to Yoko's mindless, horrible, shrieking noise. McCartney became a purveyor of lightweight, sappy pop, and remains so today.

  3. Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist ever

    For me, there isn't any best guitarist. Jimi Hendrix was great and influential, but he wasn't the only guitarist who played well. Classical guitarists were more skilled than him, even those born before him.

    Django Reinhardt is surely as good as Hendrix. Sabicas was also excellent. There were better guitarists before him or at least equal. There are more skilled guitarists than him now. Plus, he was quite sloppy.

    He's the most influential, not the best.

  4. Michael Jackson is the best pop artist ever

  5. Iron Maiden or Metallica are the best metal bands ever

    I honestly don't like Metallica. Their intros are too long for me, and it's alright if someone doesn't like something (I think some people need to hear that).

    Iron Maiden is pretty good. I like some of their songs, but I wouldn't call them the best. If I had to choose which metal band I consider the best, I'd go with Blind Guardian.

    Iron Maiden and Metallica got me into metal, and I still love them. But I agree with Merilille - later I discovered Blind Guardian, and they are really very special and damn good.

  6. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands ever

    If the criterion is "one of the greatest," there's no way to argue against.

    Same here. I meant top five.

  7. Linkin Park is the best rock band of the 2000s

    100%. Though I don't listen to them as much as other modern rock bands like Radiohead, I still believe they're #1.

    If that's the case, it doesn't say much for rock in the 2000s.

  8. John Lennon is one of the greatest singers ever

    Well, honestly, I don't like John Lennon either. I know he is a great songwriter and singer, but I still don't like his songs. However, I have to say that he is one of the greatest singers ever.

  9. Justin Bieber is the worst artist ever

    No, he is not the worst artist ever. Most of his songs are okay. The two worst artists should be Paris Hilton and Taylor Swift.

    Kinda true. I am sure a lot of people say this without hearing a single song of his.

    One of the worst makes more sense.

  10. Whitney Houston is the greatest female singer ever

    God rest her, but not even close.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Queen had some of the greatest backing vocals

  12. ?

    Smells Like Teen Spirit is the greatest grunge song

    Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana is the greatest grunge song.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Rush is one of the most talented rock bands ever

    This one doesn't even qualify under the "one of" stipulation.

  14. Rebecca Black is the worst singer

    It's Friday, Friday, getting down on Friday! The chorus of that annoying song is so hard not to sing!

  15. Deathcore sucks

  16. Pop music is not annoying

  17. Oasis are a poor man's Beatles

  18. Alice in Chains is the greatest grunge band

  19. Nirvana is the greatest grunge band ever

    They created grunge and were arguably the best at it.

    Nirvana is also arguably the most successful band of the '90s. Alice in Chains didn't come close to being the most successful band of the '90s.

  20. Kurt Cobain is the greatest grunge singer ever

  21. Metallica is the greatest thrash metal band

    Correction: one of the greatest.

  22. Not all dubstep is just noise

  23. Megadeth is better than Metallica

  24. Layne Staley is the greatest grunge singer

    The title of greatest grunge singer actually goes to Kurt Cobain.
