Re: Make a Bold Statement About Music
That's just a given. (Now saying the opposite - that would've been bold!)
The Grateful Dead's music gets slammed so much that there are jokes like this one all over the place:
Q: What did a deadhead say after he ran out of pot?
A: "Man, this music sucks!"

Re: Make a Bold Statement About Music
Not sure if this is that bold but it's something that really pisses me off:
The Moody Blues' Question is horribly recorded. I like the song, which is why it pisses me off that the bass is drowned out and sounds like it was recorded from a mile away from an 1890's phonograph.
On Paul McCartney and The Wings' Let 'Em In, what's the fucking point of the last two notes at the very end. The song was already fading out, then you blast me with that end for no reason.

Bob Dylan? Don't care.

This is probably the single greatest rock n roll performance ever recorded.

Grateful Dead >>>> The Band
Dylan >>>> Neil Young
If you've never dropped acid, you don't truly understand a lot of music made in the 60s and 70s.
Wilco is the greatest American rock band of the last two decades.
George Harrison's All Things Must Pass is the greatest of all Beatles solo records.
Frank Zappa's music was beyond genius and he is completely overlooked as one of the most important figures in music of any genre.
Lou Reed entering the RnR Hall of Fame at the same time as Joan fucking Jett is an embarrassment of the highest proportions.

That's just it, because Piper kind of stands apart from the rest of their catalogue, there are actually plenty of people who have no interest in post-Syd Floyd that love it. Along with Sgt. Pepper, Piper is considered by many to be the absolute pinnacle of 60's psychedelic pop. I'd argue that depending on one's personal tastes, Dark Side, The Wall, and Piper are the three most "accepted" answers for best Floyd album.

Black Gives Way To Blue is a better album than any of the Layne Staley albums.
Senses Working Overtime by XTC is the most perfect pop song of all time.

Almost every band's best music is in the time between their 1st record up until 10 years later. So most of the new music they make after that span of a decade is over just hurts their legacy.

On a similar note, here's my bold statement:
Vapor Trails is Rush's best album, and was supported by their best tour.

Pretty much. I can only think of a handful of bands that have managed to defy this statement. Deftones being one of them. Their last record may be their best ever.

I think R.E.M. could have done more work - I just did a re-listen of their last five albums (Up through Collapse into now) and the last two albums were showing signs of regaining some of their former feel. With a new producer and maybe some outside writing, they could have kept on.

The most perfect pop single of all time was recorded in 1971 and no recording since has come close to matching its flawlessness.
