Even many of their most beloved hits have lyrically benign power fantasies consciously void of political implication (We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Another One Bites the Dust)

That doesn’t make them bad or evil songs to enjoy at all, but it still makes me raise an eyebrow

“CBGBCD” could also be the name of a Sonic Youth guitar tuning

Damn, I love Sonic Youth but “Kool Thing” has always been their most overrated song of their most overrated album to me
