In two separate lists released this week, Blender.com has assailed Sex Pistols, Tom Waits, Sting, Beach Boys, Radiohead, Bob Dylan and many others.
In the first list, the magazine described the most “overpraised” records, saying this about the Sex Pistols’ classic Never Mind the Bollocks:
You’re ugly! God is dead! Jesus is a leprechaun! The queen has a penis! We hate everything! Blah blah blah blah blah blah! Blah! Blah!
They go on to produce another list, this time of the worst lyricists where they decry Sting of The Police for numerous crimes, not limited to “name-dropping Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov in the Police tune “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” quoting a Volvo bumper sticker (“If You Love Someone Set Them Free”), and co-opting the works of Chaucer, St. Augustine and Shakespeare.”
