I wish to be unpleasant

Therefore I shall do a 'Top 10 Unpopular Opinions' thing.

1 - The Foo Fighters are the second most over-rated band on the planet.
2 - The only reason that they're not the most over-rated band is because the Rolling Stones exist.
3 - Roger Federer is not the best tennis player ever. The names you're looking for are Rod Laver or Ken Rosewall. Anyone who has any complaints can come see me once (if) Federer wins the French.
4 - Freddie Flintoff (though I love him with the passion of 1500 burning suns) shouldn't have been Man of the Series for the Ashes. It ought to have been Shane Warne.
5 - Also I'm kind of upset that England won, not because I didn't want them to, but because the English as a nation are the worst winners ever (they're also the second worst losers ever, but that's by the by).
6 - Black Sabbath didn't invent heavy metal.
7 - Black Sabbath aren't even good.
8 - Holocaust day should remain Holocaust day, not genocide day, because they mean the same bloody thing, or at least analogous things, ignorant governmental fuckwits.
9 - Anthony and the Johnsons are perfectly reasonable Mercury Music award winners.
10 - Bloc Party suck. Suck majorly. They have one song (as in all their songs sound the same), and it's not even memorable.

[deep breaths] I'm better. But beware, there may be cricket pic-spam. Particularly of Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden. Although this leads to unpopular opinion 11:

11 - Men with hairy chests are automatically slightly more attractive. If I wanted someone with a smooth chest to grope, I'd be going out with women.

So glad it's not just me. I mean I like(d) Nirvana, but the Foos are a fair to middling band who aren't that good so why do people shove them down my throat.

(coughs and steps away from the keyboard)

Sorry about that ;)

Yay! Antony and the Johnsons rock. I saw Antony with Lou Reed when he was touring a couple of years ago and he was amazing.

And I like the Stones better than the Beatles.

Seeing Antony and the Johnsons sounds so very cool. His voice is just so OMG!

I'm cool with people liking the Stones more than the Beatles. The Stones are a damn good band, it's just when people say the Stones were better for non-musical reasons.
