Yes we do.

It's about as important as the Antarctican screamo chart.

Garth Brooks' #1 crime against music (and humanity in general): Make You Feel My Love. He took an ironic song and sang it without any feeling.

You might be right, it could actually be sub-standard not mediocre. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I can not be convinced that album is not 10 steps backward after Kid A and Ok PC. I never listen to it anymore, meanwhile the rest of the discography stays in rotation.

Can't wait to hear your White Stripes argument. They're the best band of the decade, IMO. White Blood Cells would probably make it to my Top 10 Albums of All Time list.

I agree with most of the other artists on your list, though.

Problem is, coming from you that doesn't really mean all that much, seeming as you posted elsewhere that the "worst artists of all time" are all artists aside from Radiohead...so yeah, I think we see where you're coming from...

Never even heard of him. He's overrated? Quick wikipedia...

He attended Northeastern Illinois University and received a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory and Composition. In 2003, Guitar One Magazine voted Batio the fastest guitar player of all time[1][2]. MAB was also mentioned and listed recently in Guitar World Magazine in an article where he was listed as one of top 50 fastest guitarists in the world. The names were in alphabetical order, not by who they thought was the fastest.

Oh, so he's like some guitarist that's never actually produced real music. Makes sense...

No, he's overrated don't try and use your ignorance to disprove that. Every shred and metal fanboy thinks hes God's gift to guitar. That aside he HAS released music.

Demonoid · 07-08-2008, 12:03 PM

Well, actually speaking though, he isn't overrated.
Nobody talks about him other than 14 year old wanna-be kids on youtube.(correct me if I'm wrong)
And those guitar ratings were based of Speed. Not on the music. So, in that sense, i guess he might get a bit of recognition here and there.(Not my kind of music though)
