Talk about a gruesome twosome…who do you think looks more skeletal, Amy or Mick?

The Battles Ian Williams no likey The Strokes: “The Strokes were just rich kids from uptown New York; the children of the heads of supermodel agencies who formed a rock band and thought they deserved respect because of that.”
if the strokes were poor this bloke would be happier.
and if he was rich it would be even better.
This whole idea of “tearing apart classic albums” is pretty bizarre. Even if they’re not the best album by the artist, they’re still better albums than most other albums released every year. And this man’s complaint is that the Strokes don’t sound serious enough? I suppose then that he would prefer bands like My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Panic at the disco, and all the other laughable emo bands that take themselves so seriously. Before the Strokes rock music was stuck in a 90’s slump (Nickelback anyone?) and if it wasn’t for them and the Libertines, music would be in much worse shape than it is today– after all, the White Stripes can’t do everything.
‘if it wasnt for the strokes and the libertines music would be much worse’
joke of the year
