But like i said the thing you dislike is what i like the most about them.
For exmpl i got into them through the song "Heaven knows im miserable now" which has very whiny lyrics but the guitar rhythm is great so even if you don't like his message you can still enjoy other parts of the song.
Oh, yeah, completely. Johnny Marr is my favorite guitar player ever (well, maybe Jonny Greenwood, but definitely top two), and I think musically they're fantastic in general. "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" isn't my favorite song of theirs but that isn't about the lyrics.
