I am specifically referring to the '80s and more so the '90s rock music journalism wankery like Q magazine which saw the likes of U2 and Oasis receive 5-star reviews for shitty albums whilst Queens of Pop regularly had 2/5 reviews for 'opaque' lyrics or whatever.
You might think this is random but it's not. I decided to listen to some U2 the other day to see how reslistenable some of their back cat was and I was shocked! Dismayed! Nay - horrified, really, to find out that most of their albums are shit shit and shit beyond 3-4 singles. And I say this as a former fan boy.
Discuss.
And no this is not a poll.
And yes this may go down in history as another Straw-type thread I suppose.
