well, there's a bunch of bands out there that are really good without ripping other (already proven, succesful and original) bands off, it seems so lazy to rewrite joy division's transmissions, especially done without any ounce of emotion.
and yeah, i would rather die than live in a world where dogmatic thinking (like you saying "a band shouldn't get any criticism") is the norm.
besides, i think there's something really prefabricated about the strokes (the vocalist is a former child actor and son of model agency founder, the guitar player is son of a flop singer from the 70's...) i'm not saying they are the indie (by the way, they hardly released a note on an independent label, how does this make them in any way "indie") menudo but there's something really fishy in there.
that said, go listen to them, i don't care, i just pointed out that they were not original and not that good at that even. i have never liked them and wouldn't give a shit about what other people think about them.
