My major problem with them was that I read and heard loads of people saying that they were incredible and timeless and the most important band during my lifetime, and that was before I heard them. I must admit I was seriously underwhelmed. Maybe I just don't get some hidden spiritual meaning or I can't see what it is I'm supposed to be identifying with, but none of their records have actually made me put them above about eighty or so other bands that I could listen to if they were on the radio, but would never dream of paying to see, or buying an album from.
I don't think Pete Doherty is completely talentless, but I wouldn't say he was altogether talented either.
