I see you're using "strength" verrrry loosely.

they have a 30 year career with a number of fabulous albums in there.
tubthumping is all anyone knows them for. it's a bit like saying the beatles were shit based on yellow submarine. or something.

OK, OK, they're highly underrated, were ripped off by the music moguls who never allowed their "good" stuff to air

He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink

Repeat x 1000.

again you're pointing to one song - the one everyone knows, but certainly not their best IMO
Danny Boy (while apparently written for a grandson going to war by his grandfather) is a popular Irish song... therefore a drinking song.

Jesus H Christ is a fucking brilliant album
as is Never Mind The Ballots. Oh, and Pictures Of Starving Children.

Look at it this way.
You see a beautiful girl, and you go up to chat with her. Two seconds before you get there she evicts a huuuuge farm fart so that your first half minute of speaking to her leads you to believe that your teeth will corrode. You beat a hasty retreat.

Yeah, she might be the cat's meow, great lover, trophy wife material, but you can never get past that first impression. In the case of ChumbabbaWumbbabba, it was the first several thousand impressions I can't get past.

If I were making a case against the Beatles
Yellow Submarine would be Exhibit 'A'

It does sort of make
sense. It's on the strength of there only really being one song.
