Brick wall

They place Nevermind, Sgt. Peppers, Jagged Little Pill & The Fame on the same list Brick wall

It's just like, a whole bunch of nobody's talking about music that they know nothing about d'oh!

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips was asked to select his most overrated album by The Guardian, and he selected Nevermind: ''I never get out Nevermind and think: what great production, what great songs. Nevermind had a poisonous, pernicious influence. It legitimized suffering. The sainthood of Kurt Cobain overshadows the album: Kurt's lyrics, his attitudinising and navel-gazing, were hard to separate from the band's image. You can never just hear the record. For me, Bleach and In Utero are superior. Even the album cover seems cheap: that stupid dollar bill just seems to have been airbrushed in there. If Alice in Chains had done it, we'd have thought it was a joke, but because it was Nirvana we thought it was oh-so-clever. If you think you're going to hear an utterly original, powerful and freaky record when you put on Nevermind, as a young kid might, Christ you're going to be disappointed. You're going to think, ''Who is this band that sounds just like Nickelback? What are these drug addicts going on about?''

I didn't realise that Wayne Coyne was such an arsehole? I mean I remember him having a go at Arcade Fire a while back, but this quote really shows his true colours coming out

Come on this article is right about the majority of the 10 albums: sgt pepper (strongly agree), alanis morissette, moby, oasis, lady gaga, eminem.
I just strongly disagree about Nevermind, that I like now better than ever !

I don't really think he's being an arsehole, considering the two people he seems to have in for - Win Butler and Kurt Cobain - are massive narcissistic jackoffs.

I do agree with a few of these (Sgt. Pepper, Oasis, Moby, maybe even Nevermind to an extent). But I severely disagree with a few as well (Mellon Collie and Jagged Little Pill especially).

I don't know, it seems to me with lists like this that it's simply impossible to completely agree or completely disagree with it. It's all subjective. Everyone has an opinion, but it's just a singular opinion on singular albums. Like with this one I would read one and be totally disgusted, then read the next and totally agree.

I can agree with every album on there over-rated list, it's the under-rated list I don't understand

That's not really how Cobain was at all. Confused
