Hahahah. I do love #grumpymonday!
You actually have a pretty good point here. It clinched it for me when you listed some of their lyrics. Seeing it all there together was hilarious. (Now I need to go find a wet wipe to clean off the coffee I snorted all over the monitor).
If you look at it, all they had was some catchy tunes. When they started experimenting with their Sgt. Pepper album, they actually lost a bit of their popularity as it wasn't the usual mindless pop they were producing up till then.
its just the usual pretentious nonsense spoken about them that winds me up lol....
