Some people did 'Five unpopular fandom opinions' (which usually weren't all that unpopular, merely secular).

I give you: Five unpopular musical opinions.

1) The Foo Fighters could kick Nirvana's ass up and down the hall.
2) Beethoven is over-rated.
3) Modern country music does have its merits. (See: 'Wild West Show' by Big and Rich)
4) Sometimes, being off-tune or flat is a *good* thing. It can add depth to lyric lines when handled properly. (See: 'Good to Know That if I Ever Need Attention, All I Have to Do is Die' by Brand New)
5) Your favourite artist/band hitting it big, is (more often than not) a bad thing. [See degradation of the originally solid: Our Lady Peace, Liz Phair, Nickleback, Eve6... (Some obviously started out stronger than others, and others have fallen farther into the gaping abyss that is pop music)]

Hard to believe that the same people who gave us 'The State' gave us 'The Long Road,' isn't it?

::Stocks up on old music::

Speaking of which -- do you have Bush's 'Sixteen Stone?' The debut Collective Soul album is another one of my favourites.
