I find New Order quite dated to listen to, whereas I don`t have that issue with Joy Division. It probably comes from the fact, that I listened to New Order whilst at school and didn`t discover Joy Division and the link between the two bands until many years later.

Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is the best single on pop radio that I've heard in... as long as I can remember, basically. Infinitely better than anything by Rihanna, Gaga, BEP, or any other "artist" making "music" for pop stations, and were there more music like this song, I might actually bother listening to the radio.

This annoys me also. I like a lot of their song but the "Lo-fi" production renders a lot of them unlistenable to me. Also Pollard seems to have to put every old song he can think of on record, he seems to have no quality control over his albums.

Not to mention "Ceremony", one of New Order's first hits, was a Joy Division song. It always frustrates me that all we have is a demo version of Ian Curtis singing it because I think it works so much better with him on vocals.

I was thinking about The Beatles. Kind of glad they quit when they did. They still would've been huge regardless of them quitting or not, but they've left a hell of a legacy behind them when they did. Not really a bad album in there whole discography. If they would've kept on going and I hate to mention The Stones and The Beatles in the same sentence, but I'll do it anyway. They would've probably had a a few albums that were just meh or awful much like The Stones and there career. They would also kind of begin to parody themselves much like The Rolling Stones.

Oh I began reading this as it was completely overrated and a poor mans Hendrix until I carried on reading

"Sledgehammer" is one of Peter Gabriel's worst songs.

Well, I still don't think very highly of Clapton. I go by those stories when the Blues Breakers and Fleetwood Mac would play shows together. When they Blues Breakers played, fans yelled "CLAPTON IS GOD!!" and when Fleetwood Mac came up, fans would yell "PETER GREEN IS GREATER THAN GOD!!" Clapton is in the upper tier of classic rock guitarists, but 'God' is a title he's never earned in my eyes.

I've heard Disraeli Gears several times before and always had each member of Cream on the same level in my eyes. But this time just convinced me that Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce were the musical force that drove Cream, and as good of a rhythm section as there ever has been. And both could even go beyond just holding down the rhythm.

This was more of a revelation, than an unpopular opinion now that I look back on it...
