It's not a proper Internet Debate(TM) till someone says "confirmation bias" or "straw man" without having the foggiest idea of what these terms actually mean.

Oh yeah, forgot about "ad hominem".
That's another good staple of Internet Debates(TM).

Eloquently argued but complete bollocks Beatles point, you mean.

Bar no more than two or three songs The Clash are complete fucking shit.
This is a fact. Plus I AM worse than Hitler.

Damn right you are
Hitler wouldn't have been so generous to The Clash.

God they were poor.

Actually Strummer was pretty wealthy.

Heh, I rather like them.
But these things are subjective and I'm neither influenced by, nor do I make any claims for their cultural significance. But the I like what I like, some is (by your standards) good and some awful.

I certainly don't want my lecture to be delivered in the form of a shit song by a bunch of cunts.

This is fine.
I'm not actually claiming you should like them. Just know that your hatred of them adds to my enjoyment. See also: Insane Clown Posse & Sultans of Ping FC. Although I fully understand why people hate those two.

*Listens to Corporate Avenger*
If you've not heard them then I'd avoid if I were you. They combine naive and overstated politics that would make The Clash blush, with faux mysticism and a musical style not dissimilar to ICP.
