His greatness though is in his innovation remember, it is not claimed that he was the most technically skillful guitarist ever. I mean, the most technically skillful guitarists on earth are probably not even ever in bands to begin with.

I don't get the deal with Radiohead.

I would say that Mad Pudding is an awesome band that I think some of you should check out.

That's probably because Robert Plant wasn't an instrumentalist.

Harmonica?

In fact he played harmonica on a Primal Scream album.

1. The Ramones are garbage... They are...

2. Anyone who tells you that Syd Barrett 'Floyd was better than Gilmour Floyd, obviously smokes crack.

3. KISS was awful as well.

4. Pearl Jam's longevity has made a bunch of people look stupid. Especially for a band that people repetitively claimed were bandwagon jumpers.

5. Nick Drake is unlistenable and BORING. Like Syd Barrett, people only say they like him because they think it makes them sound knowledgeable.

Oh and the dude who said that Hendrix was sloppy and thus not the best guitarist ever. I'm not saying he was or wasn't but I'd rather hear a sloppy player push the envelope than someone noodle perfectly. Its like people who say I can play Hendrix. ****, so can I but he created it... period.

About the only area where I disagree with you.

Okay, more unpopular opinions.

Underoath, Story Of The Year, and Chiodos are pretty amazing bands.

The Beatles, despite their influence, suck in general.

This is based on this forum though, not Hot Topic, or Rolling Stone.
