    catching up but

    Modest Mouse are one of the best late 90s/early 00s indie rock bands imo and their first 4 records are all stellar but I get how some people could dislike them they're definitely polarizing

    Radiohead and The National do such different things that it's hard for me to compare them although I would say Radiohead have higher highs

    Nick Cave is a God and that RHCP quote is one of the greatest things he's ever offered us

    I also think (fair or not) Radiohead are one of those bands that kind of get beaten into you as one of "the greats" and sometimes as you're discovering indie/alternative rock, it's tempting to be underwhelmed by groups with that much predetermined stature.

    It's kind of (to a lesser degree) similar to how every year I see some indie dude write the "the beatles weren't actually that good" hot take.

    TLDR; Radiohead are great, have some less great records but overall properly rated imo

    tbh I used to think this as well but Pet Sounds has lost some of its luster over the years for me

    (still a phenomenal record though FWIW)

    The Beatles are incredible and everything but they've never really been able to hold my attention for super long.

    Revolver is my definite favorite. Followed by Sgt Peppers

    I don't enjoy listening to The Beatles but I still think they were "that good".

    I guess this is a hot take but

    Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak >>>>>>>>>>>> any Led Zeppelin album

    one with the riverbed Prestigious

    Chon is fine. Very clearly talented individuals, but the songwriting could be better.

    I had a great time when I saw Modest Mouse with Brand New last summer. I thought they sounded great and had a good energy. In fact, that is probably the best show I've ever been to (but that has way more to do with Brand New).

    run away with me Platinum

    Led Zeppelin never made The Boys Are Back In Town this checks out

    More seriously Led Zeppelin deserves more flack for stealing from black artists

    .

    They don't beat Zep for me but Thin Lizzy are a phenomenal band with a great catalog. Very underappreciated.

    This is nonsense, but I like it anyway because Thin Lizzy are crazy underrated.

    What would you call their second best after Jailbreak? I'd say Bad Reputation probably?

    If Live and Dangerous doesn't count (probably their best tbh) it's definitely Bad Reputation at #2 for me

    Good lord, yes.

    Quite possibly the best produced album ever made.

    I never feel emotionally connected enough to their stuff to put them as high as Lizzy or Zep though

    I love seeing all the "classic rock" discussion here. Besides talk radio, that's the only thing I listen to on the actual radio.
