Don’t believe the hype – The Guardian slams the Strokes, James Brown, the Clash, Pet Sounds, the Stone Roses and lots of other rock icons.

    that’s a great idea and well done. it’d be interesting to see credible writers take a stab at some other icons like led zepp, jimi hendrix, black sabbath, etc. but eventually the criticisms would get repetetive, i suppose.

    actually my only complain was why bother about the strokes when writing about legends?

    I can only imagine how shitty the music is at The Guardian office. A picture of hearing Yes albums somehow seems fitting.

    How did Pink Floyd escape this list?

    Hysterical. Now if only they’d listed albums and artists *they* like, so I could make fun of them in turn.
