The Guardian has undoubtedly the worst music writers I've ever read anywhere. See
this article for a case in point. I cannot believe people get to paid to write the stuff they put in the newspaper (even less-so the stuff on the website), a brain-damaged chimp could do a better job. I guess the solution is just to stop reading them, but it still irks me that these people seem so clueless. I know they probably have editors telling them what they ought to write about, but surely everyone is sick to death of hearing about the fucking Arctic Monkeys by now.
