Unpopular opinions

@riffblaster:
Eric Clapton…... overrated. Cream was good (and not all of it), Derek and the Dominoes had Layla and Cocaine. That's about it.
I forgot to point out previously that Cocaine is a JJ Cale song, and Clapton didn't really do anything terribly different with it, though his playing on it is terrific.
OK, I'm done oclasting that icon.
I hate tailor-cuffed flat-front slacks, and I hate uncuffed pleated slacks. Actually, fuck pleats in general…
-
Fuck, if it's a guitar player debate give me Slash and Ace Frehely over them all. Style of substance any day
-
quick backpedal: i'm not saying clapton isn't a great guitarist. i like his stuff in john mayall and the bluesbreakers a lot actually. there are other guitarists who i much prefer. fully backing that he's an IH head though, so maybe that changes my opinon a little bit.

@riffblaster:
i'll take Rory Gallagher any day of the week over Clapton.
Now yer talkin' !

Heath Ledger was worse than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, it literally could not have been any worse.
Superman Returns is a great fucking movie.
Ah-Ha are the perfect pop band.
Star Trek over Star Wars, and BSG over both of them.
Fuck you and good night

I love Van Hagar. There you go.

^couldnt agree more 5150 was so good

I think that their Bond theme, "The Living Daylights" is one of the best ever.
Star Trek over Star Wars, and BSG over both of them.
Star Wars is the original trilogy only. Everything after that is shit. Star Trek is hit (Next Gen, many of the movies) and miss (Enterprise, Voyager, DS9, original series). BSG is extraordinary.

I hate moc toes on boots. Put that with a wedge sole and you have the ugliest boot on earth.
-
The living daylights was Duran Duran. Simple minds gets my vote for best pop band though pop is far from my favorite genre

I'll take the bait on the Clapton topic (and yeah, I know this isn't a music thread, but fuck it).
If Clapton had died after Cream, I'm pretty sure he would have remained forever in "legend" status. His stuff with John Mayal, Yardbirds and Cream was real pioneering stuff; along with Townshend and Beck he really pioneered the fat humbucker-through-Marshall sound. (Then Hendrix came and took it to a whole new level).
Problem is that EC undid a lot of his reputation by spewing out reams and reams of crap music from about 1970 onwards.
I dunno whether he's over rated or not, but without his influence the next generation of rock and metal would have been quite different.
By the way, I reckon Brian May's hair is cool. Go the Poodle Head!!

Speaking of, I absolutely loathe the turned up toe on Vibergs
The reason why I didn't say that in this thread is because I doubt it's an unpopular opinion hahaha.
