The Smiths on an "Indie Sacred Cow" list...

[Dow Jones]

Morrissey was so much more pathetic than he could ever hope to be.

Pfft, I'm 10 times more pathetic than Morrissey will EVER be.

I know the person who wrote that piece, and he is a massive Smiths fan. You're all giving him the reaction he wants, sans Uncleskinny.

i actually love somethingawful (and i think Dr. Thorpe is hilarious), and i know he writes articles on Staind, ICP, etc. just to get a reaction. but i get the idea that he really does hate those bands. the thing i'm not quite sure about is when he writes about acts like The Smiths or Radiohead is whether he is not a fan of them either, but is really just writing about them to elicit a response.

It's hard to not hate ICP.

Woe woe and trice time woe. Once would have been enough missus!

The whole point of the 'Your Band Sucks' section at Something Awful is to slag off popular musicians and provoke a reaction, regardless of whether the writer likes the band in question. Simmer down.
