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

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

The Top Ten

1 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.

I've found this. People find themselves saying it because it's, well, The Beatles!
I like them but they are overrated. - Britgirl

2 Freddie Mercury is one of the best 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.Shadow's singing more than him. So I'd say they are better than him (my opinion). I mean I can give my reasons why they're favorite to me, 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 have. not the best, one of the best (again my opinion). - zxm

I find people who don't listen his songs but say that he is the best or one of the best. - zxm

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 that 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. - Merilille

I think they are pretty good, but Lately I'm obsessed with Pirate metal ( Although Iron Maiden is still one of my favorite bands ) - PeachyBlast

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. - Metal_Treasure

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.
