@MN5 Well it wasn't embarrassing which it could have been, given their age and unreal lives.
In fact, it shows a lot of energy for a bunch of octogenarians. Much more so than a lot of their successors who are now also on the endless, greatest hits, touring circus.
However, the fact that critics are calling it their best single in 40 years only highlights that this will be their 5th studio album in that time. Well, since Undercover was released in late 1983.
If they continue in this vein, Hackney Diamonds might even turn out to maybe be their 15th best album.

I think they’re colossally overrated in general
I get the sentiment, but it has to be put into perspective.
Will Lomu be massively over-rated if we start churning out bigger, faster, more powerful and skillful wingers? The Stones (& Beatles who I know you have no time for) have to be considered for their legacy. The way they changed music. Sure, a lot of their classics are pretty moderate now but without them a lot of the music that came later that you do admire simply wouldn't exist.

Not arguing that, I just don’t see it but I take the point that loads of groups I love were influenced by them.
….but I just think groups that came ever so slightly after them ( Zep, Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Doors to name a few ) were infinitely better.

They didn't win the Mercury Prize last night but had the performance of the night IMHO

@MN5 why would he play down to that level?
I think ( directly quoting one of the comments ) that when John Lennon got to jam with his hero Chuck Berry it was on the condition that his talentless, narcissistic wife got to join in too.
Love really is blind…..and clearly really deaf too.
Chucks facials are brilliant aren’t they ?

@broughie Lennon was definitely narcissistic. Bed in for Peace anyone?
For all the stereotyping of Lennon as the rocker with a social conscience and McArtney as the pappy popster, Lennon produced the most self-indulgent 'art' plus some of the twee-ist bs pop shit ever - Imagine, Happy Christmas etc
