No real relation to eachother, they were just the first 2 bands that came to my mind.Why would you group them two bands together?

CCR are a top-five band of all time. They’re music has such a hook and they really didn’t have a weakness. John Fogerty is up there with the best lyricists there have been.

Your not the only one.I really do not get the hype for Coldplay or The Arctic Monkeys. I've given The Arctic Monkeys heaps of chances to impress me and they just don't. As far as Coldplay goes, I do like the song Viva La Vida but pretty much nothing else even moderately excites me. I haven't read much of this thread so I expect others have posted a similar 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.Anyone who thinks there's no good music on Triple J doesn't listen to Triple J. Yeah, there's some s**t on it but that's because they are trying to appeal to multiple genres at once (I hate hip hop, but can turn it down when it comes on). There's also a lot of mainstream music fans that come in around Hottest 100 time and push some of the edgier stuff out.
But three of the albums nominated for the J Awards were by Gang of Youths, Gordi and A.B Original, three very different and very excellent albums.
And I'm 40.

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.
Agreed. Probably wasn't a good example, because Double J is a genuinely good station. Not my favourite, but still really good.What do you mean even double J is better?
Double went part triple the day it went on air.
Far superior in every way.
Most abide with that opinionDon't see how this is an unpopular opinion.
I feel this one needs explaining. Silverchair? Are you sure you're thinking of the right band?Muse are just poor Silverchair wannabes
Silverchair version Diorama and Young Modern, not Frogstomp.I feel this one needs explaining. Silverchair? Are you sure you're thinking of the right band?
Pearl Jam were a glorified cover band. Nirvana were original.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.
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.Not sure if it's been said in the last 99 pages but, I don't rate Nirvana.

There's unpopular and then there's ridiculous.Pearl Jam were a glorified cover band. Nirvana were original.
Pearl Jam were good, but limited. Vedder has spent last 2 decades doing coversThere's unpopular and then there's ridiculous.

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).Silverchair version Diorama and Young Modern, not Frogstomp.
3-piece with big orchestral sound. Daniel Johns was doing Muse before Muse even.
Produced a ridiculously good album in Nevermind.Not sure if it's been said in the last 99 pages but, I don't rate Nirvana.

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