Nirvana is overrated
John Mayer would be way better if he didn't sing
That's it for now

Things that are popular are generally of high quality. Things that aren't popular are NOT necessarily of lesser quality, since there are a lot of factors that effect popularity beyond just quality. But if a band is selling millions of records then I think that means they are pretty damn fucking good at what they do. Like for example, boy band music might suck, but The Backstreet Boys must be damn great at it to be so huge. Nobody's opinion is worth more than anyone else's, so that lends credit to popularity. Even if the corporate masters are pulling the strings to make some hack popular, if it's music that is moving to thousands of people, then it is quality music. There has to be at least one thing great about it for it to do that.
Pink Floyd is one of the best progressive rock bands.
Oh yay, this will be fun.

Main issue I have with this, is who exactly separates the popular groups out from the rest? Certainly not the listeners, it's not like people who are into pop music listened to hundreds of boy bands and decided backstreet boys were the best at it. It's all the big labels picking who is most marketable. Lots of people I know, who listen to pop music, listen to it for the lyrics or the fact that it's catchy and easy to dance to. It's good at accomplishing that goal, and it's fine if people want to listen to it for that reason. But I definitely wouldn't call it good music.
That's controversial?
Can't think of much at the moment... White Noise's An Electric Storm and The United States of America's self-titled are the best psychedelic albums ever.
Well...on other forums I'd go to if I even mentioned that Pink Floyd is better then Rush I would get flamed beyond belief.
