I'll go first:
The Velvet Underground made boring music and Lou Reed was never cool.

The Who never made a great album. No-one needs an album by The Who apart from maybe a Greatest Hits (and/or Live at Leeds).

Inferno is easily the best BoC album.

Something about Aphex Twin strikes me as kind of gross and a tosser and I would not want to be in the same room as him.

To make the perfect cup of tea. Its hot water, tea bag in, sugar, then milk. The proper way to do it! Milk first? That's just barbaric.

Radiohead are only impressive if you've never heard the things they're copying. And working out your social anxiety in lyrics is really only good for one or two tracks, the rest is navel-gazing.

Massive disagree. Simply put, Prince has produced so much that you just haven't found your right prince song yet. Its kind of like beers you know, when you're young you go with a fosters, not knowing there is a lot better out there! It takes time... but both of you's love for prince will blossom I foresee it
How could you not enjoy this?

To paraphrase Mick Jagger...I try and I try and I try and I try...
It's just does nothing for me I'm afraid. It's my loss.

Lol, it's like weed smokers when you say it doesn't agree with you - "you just haven't found your strain man".
Nah I've actually listened to a lot of Prince through my ex girlfriend and seen him live twice. It just doesn't resonate with me musically. I'm definitely a music guy and not a lyrics guy, and while I am in awe of his guitar playing, his songs just don't do to me what they appear to do to Prince fans.

There are many different strains. But there's only one prince!

There's a dude who had a vault full of unreleased material to put boards to shame.
