    Guitar music is the last refuge of boring middle-aged middle-class white men and public-school drop-outs who are trying to kid everyone they're cool. No-one else cares about it.










    (For what it's worth I could be put into both those categories so it's arguable that I know what I'm talking about.)

    Holy shit, what have I started?

    Ed Sheeran is a really talented singer, songwriter and guitarist. His leads are understated and perfectly fit his songs.

    Radiohead and Kasabian are shite

    80's Hair Metal is awesome

    David Bowie makes no sense to me musically or artistically.

    Interesting mix of approaches in this thread..... some people are offering genuine, heartfelt opinions, some are being ironic, some are just taking the piss.  The problem is figuring out which is which.

    Thats the fun of it. Personally, i think people who dont like the Beatles are tone deaf but there you are:)

    Ratt are the greatest rock band ever.

    Freddie Mercury couldn't sing and had to use autotune on every track.

    Stairway to Heaven was actually written by Richard Steed. Led Zep ripped him off.

    I love the Beatles, but I'm not really a fan of the Stones.

    OK Computer is a shit album.

    The only Metallica albums worth listening to are Kill 'Em All, And Justice For All and the Black Album.

    I saw him live twice and he was great. I also once met Nigel Glockler ( spll?) who had been one of his drummers but he was a bit grumpy.

    The Beatles were revolutionary.  They changed the public's perception and attitude to popular music like no-one before or since.  And they wrote some extremely good songs.

    Reggae is really rather good - lots of rythmn and great to dance to.  Check out Willie Nelson's reggae album

    I can listen to Hank Williams all day.

    Bob Wills was a genius.   Asleep at the wheel are chanelling that genius now.

    I have never got David Bowie's music thinking, on the whole, his music is shite.  Ditto the Smiths, Florence, James Brown, EvH, Vai, Satriani.

    I'm not sure whether Roy Harper, Lyle Lovett or Eric Clapton is actually God or not.

    Don't believe record reviews.

    The only consistently good Queen album is "Greatest Hits".

    Right Said Fred's "Up" is a classic (and believe it or not features Motorhead's Philthy Animal Taylor and Graham Bonnet, who also mixed the album).

    EDIT: Different Graham Bonnet :-< :-< :-<

    Any pedal that costs more than the Boss equivalent is clearly a waste of money and just a load of Boutique marketing nonsense.

    Marshalls have a great clean sound

    Following on from this one:

    You'll sound better with no pedals at all.

    Joe Bonamassa has great tone. (What is the pedal board for? He has proved 100 times on youtube that he has his signature sound with just the 'Burst and the valve amp he is plugged into at that moment)

    Singers Choose Keys. Period. If you are upset that Allright Now is not in A you need to just get over it. And be creative. Or get a Capo.

    Stretching the topic (sorry) ......Pedals are over-rated. Often it is like putting Ketchup on a fillet steak. (I used to love pedals so this could be an age thing).

    Joe Bonamassa doesn't have enough product endorsements
