    The Beatles weren't criticized in that manner until they got into the LSD era. Acid rock was when the satanic lable was applied. Then it spread to other forms based on some quite provocative lyrics.

    I complained and whined, and a couple of days later retrieved it from the snowbank, but never played it in the house again. I still have it with my other vinyl records.

    Not someone I would choose to spend my money on now, but in my teens, they were 'the thing' of the moment.

    There are a number of bands/musicians who have performed well beyond when they should have stopped. I don't live in the past per se, but there are times I love hearing what I grew up with.

    I wouldn't know about today's noise-makers. Last band I cared about was The Real McKenzies, from the 90's, and had never heard of them until I bought a CD in 2010 from the Salvation Army.
