Top 10 Most Unpopular Opinions in Rock Music

The Top Ten
1 Nickelback is a Good Band

They aren't near as bad as everyone says, but Chad sounds like he has something stuck in his throat!

Yep, since most people hate this band with a burning passion.

Most of the people who say otherwise are just bandwagoning though.

2 St. Anger by Metallica Was a Good Album

I totally called that. Before I saw this list I predicted that this will be number 1. And I was right!

It is alright.

3 Nu Metal is a Good Genre

It's pretty good, but I'm not a big fan of it.

And actually is

4 A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park Was a Good Album

Guess it is less of an unpopular opinion now

Thousand Suns is awesome!

5 Bohemian Rhapsody is a Terrible Song.

It's an overrated song for sure, but it's not bad. But Queen has better songs

Not in my opinion. I can never see myself saying that.

Whoever thinks that will be met at the gates of Satan.

Just overplayed and overrated

6 Pink Floyd is Better Than The Beatles

The Beatles are amazing but I think Pink Floyd is better and if not then is tied with The Beatles. Whether someone thinks The Beatles are better or Pink Floyd is better shouldn't be the conversation because both bands create incredible music that were way ahead of their time.

Pink Floyd is the ONLY artist better than the Beatles. The Beatles have made such amazing music and the only band that can create something better or even close to the genius of the Beatles is Pink Floyd truly the greatest band of all time

If this was me last year, I would've agreed. Nowadays though, I prefer the Beatles over Pink Floyd.

7 Twenty One Pilots is a Bad Band

I agree with this. I've heard a few of their songs before and have absolutely no desire to ever listen to them again.

Better than Metal music.Also I only like some metal and even then I like TOP.Also what I have is called an opinion and there is no such thing as real music.-LitSavage

6/10 band. They do have some good stuff but they've made quite a few bad stuff too

I don't like TOP, but it don't dislike them either. However, they're not rock.

8 Creed is a Good Band
9 Metallica's Black Album is good

People say this album is overrated, but only because of Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters. There are more good songs on the album like Wherever I May Roam, Of Wolf And Man, Sad But True, The Unforgiven and My Friend Of Misery.

This album got hated because it wasn't a thrash album and Metallica were called sellouts. Not because the album itself is bad. It has great songs on it.

It's decent, but it's quite bad when compared to their earlier albums.

It is. And how is this unpopular exactly?

10 Disturbed is Better Than Avenged Sevenfold

I'll go with Avenged Sevenfold, I'm not really that interested on Disturbed's music at all.

I find both bands to be awfully mediocre, but I agree with this.

I never listened to either of them

Both are average.

The Contenders
11 Slipknot is Metal

I like nu metal, but I do see why most metalheads dismiss nu/core/glam as metal

It is metal. Also how is this unpopular?

I think Slipknot is a metal band.

12 U2 is a Bad Band

Yes I agree, they suck. All of their songs sound the same and have no emotion in them.

They're not my favourite at all, but there are worse bands than them.

I love U2, but can understand why people might not like them.

13 Coldplay is a Bad Band

In what world is this considered an unpopular opinion? Everyone and their brother hates on Coldplay...

Their only good songs in my opinion are Viva la Vida and Sail.

Coldplay is one of the most hated bands ever lol

14 It Isn't Really Important to Classify Everything Into Genres

I disagree but people care too much about genre classification

15 Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd isn't good

It's kind of a boring album in my opinion

Lol people actually said this?

16 Led Zeppelin were a good band. But they were and are monumentally overrated

Agreed their early work is very good especially their first album but after their third they just dipped in quality. Their fourth album might have amazing songs like Stairway to heaven and when the levee breaks but it also has unimpressive songs like rock and roll and going to California

Correction: Led Zeppelin was a lame band that are only considered good because they laid down the blueprint for hard rock music.

I think they are overrated and I don't like them.

17 Women on bass are not very hot
18 The Great Southern Trendkill is Better Than Far Beyond Driven

FBD is better than TGST, end of story. Both are good albums though

19 Glam Metal is a Good Genre

It is a pretty good genre, I don't understand why so many people hate it so much.

It is. I don't see what's so bad about it.

I like it. Skid Row, Motley Crue, and Guns N Roses (if they count as Glam Metal) are all great bands.

20 Disturbed is the Best Nu Metal Band

Who the hell calls Disturbed Nu Metal?

21 Black Veil Brides isn't that bad

Many people prefer their older stuff more, but I thought that Knives and Pens was a bit too whiny and emo. I'm more for their other songs like Heart on Fire, In the End, and Wake Up.

I've never listened to any of their music, but they probably have their good and bad moments, just like any other band

In the End is a great song.

They are really awful...

22 The Beatles are extremely overrated.

There were much better bands around, even in those days. and it wasn't even so innovative

They really are. I also don't like them.

Excellent, but overrated

I think it's true.

23 Nirvana is a decent band, but very overrated

This is entirely true.

24 Smells Like Teen Spirit is Not a Good Song

I hate that song. It's repetitive and none of the lyrics make sense.

Even Kurt Cobain hated that song... says a lot doesn't it?

Am I the only one who disagree? This is the song that makes me love music

Its overrated.

25 All the Right Reasons by Nickelback is a Good Album
