The Yeah Yeah Yeahs may not exactly be the most innovative band of the last decade, but "Maps" alone blows anything and everything Clone Temple Pilots have done and will ever do in their no-talent faux-rock sorry-ass time on this planet. As for the Thurston quote, I posted it because it was dead-on 17 years ago and remains so today (just replace "MTV" with the name of that grody sewer of a festival in which they'll perform), not because I consider Moore's opinion to be the ultimate yardstick by which music should be judged. Several numbers blessed with his seal of approval don't fly too high, or at all, in my book (Gainsbourg, black metal acts, etc.).
