...or 'Songs, sung by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Exhibit A - 'Alive' (Pearl Jam)
Eddie Vedder f@rts his vocal over a load of guitar noodling, honking something which may or may not be about incest. We're clearly all supposed to get angry about it all, but I'm too busy laughing my cods off at the sheer stage-managed over-he-toppedness of it all.
Exhibit B '68 Guns' (The Alarm)
Maybe it's a paen to the Czech resistance fighters of 1968, but to me it's always the opportunity for the guys at the Uni rugby club toi bond and get over emotional, waving their fists around whilst cuddling each other after a few sherberts on a saturday night. Mike Peter's in a neckercheif does not equal revolutionary chic.

Pearl Jam's Alive and the word crap should be as far apart as is possible imo. The song is part of a trilogy with 'Once' and 'Footsteps'.
Each to their own of course, and I agree there is a plethora of banal rock anthems that get put on Top Gear CD'S and played in Chicago Rock Cafe's, but after reading this I need to be heavily sedated.
