lyrically - i thought it was the most controversial thing I heard, then I heard stuff like the live version of "Kick Out the Jams", which was released in 1969

musically they're good or rather, Trevor Horn's session musicians were good

- I thought Sum 41 were proper punk
- I thought Korn and Slipknot were as br00tal as music got
- I thought Creed were a great band
- I thought all electronic music was mindless rubbish
- I thought Finch and Funeral For A Friend were innovative
- I thought Michael Jackson was a woman

The group could perform well live I think, I liked some clips on youtube. The lyrics were controversial it's true but if the basic music wasn't good I don't think it would have had that much of an impact.

but the original "Relax" was so different, i'm not saying they're a bunch of talentless poseurs, it's just Welcome to the Pleasuredome is mostly a Trevor Horn venture

obviously if the band plays something, they followed the sessions musicians' composition

Relax did evolve a great deal to be sure and a fair bit of that was due to other people. But they could still perform it and give it the energy and even some of the atmosphere. The vocals play a big part too on it I think, and they were not done by session musicians.

I thought music 30 years and older was the best and all newer music sucked.
Queen was the best band in the world.
Marilyn Manson is deep.
People who liked The Smiths were Hipsters.

Those are a few I could think of off the top of my head. I really didn't know what was up.

I've never had any musical misconceptions at all, I am superior.

...

OK, there may have been a time where I thought teens wearing Slipknot hoodies were cool.

I thought "Castles in the Sky" and "SandStorm" from Darude was proper techno
