No real relation to eachother, they were just the first 2 bands that came to my mind.

Don't see how this is an unpopular opinion.

Correct. I hear JJJ all the time because of the girlfriend. I have heard maybe 3 or 4 songs I really rate in about 6 months. The vast majority, I hate to say, is utter garbage.
So of course there is some good music on JJJ, but there is ALOT of stuff they play that should have never been made, and would not have been made 20-30 years ago.
I think when CCR or JF was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, whoever introduced him said something like ‘John Fogarty had the unique gift of being able to say in two and a half minutes, things that took every other singer five minutes to say.’
Unbelievably good band, unbelievably good songwriter and very underrated guitarist.

Muse are just poor Silverchair wannabes

The Writ is the most underrated song in Black Sabbath's discography.

With regards to the arguments on the previous page, here's two (second isn't unpopular, but more a response):
- Music is in the best state it has ever been, and keeps getting better.
- Triple J is garbage. Much better stations available depending on where you are. Heck, even Double J is much better.

What do you mean even double J is better?
Double went part triple the day it went on air.
Far superior in every way.

Agreed. Probably wasn't a good example, because Double J is a genuinely good station. Not my favourite, but still really good.

I feel this one needs explaining. Silverchair? Are you sure you're thinking of the right band?

Silverchair version Diorama and Young Modern, not Frogstomp.
3-piece with big orchestral sound. Daniel Johns was doing Muse before Muse even.
Not sure if it's been said in the last 99 pages but, I don't rate Nirvana. Now I love all things 90s, Pearl Jam, Greenday, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Millencolin, RATM, just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's some I've missed. Not to mention footy from back then. But I just don't like Nirvana. His voice annoys the s**t out of me, musically their songs are weak, and some of them are lyrically weak too.
I might be biased because of my love for Pearl Jam, and them being in direct competition back in the day, but I just don't rate them at all. People talk about them being the best band from that era. I strongly disagree.

Pearl Jam were a glorified cover band. Nirvana were original.

I have never heard them as rated as "best" band of the era. Because they were certainly not, although more than capable. I didnt mind Nirvana.
Most influential? Most certainly in the discussion when were talking influence.
Gotta give it to Nirvana for bridging grunge with pop culture. It's why I rate Metallica so highly, they did similar things with thrash metal (before jumping ship into rock and roll). I actually think Nirvana's best work is hidden in In Utero which doesn't get radio play.
Unpopular-ish opinion: As cringe-worthy as hair metal looks in hindsight, Poison's music has aged remarkably well and aside from GNR (who I usually don't class as hair metal) were the best band from the hair metal era.

Pearl Jam were good, but limited. Vedder has spent last 2 decades doing covers

Those 2 silverchair albums are epic. And they came just as i was discovering Muse. Both got a lot of spinning along with Origin of Symmetry (i never cared much for Showbiz).
Produced a ridiculously good album in Nevermind.
PJ's first 4 albums were very good as well.
Don't get competition in music. I like both bands equally.

May qualify as an unpopular opinion, but Nirvana’s best album was their unplugged in New York.

IMO, their best was 'Live at Reading'. Some of the best versions of their songs (cuts from 'Bleach' in particular) are on there I reckon. Rhythm section sounds like a giant bulldozer.
