However much you may try to deny it, it's a universal fact that everyone loves a little bit of quintessential pop music now and then. So I have no qualms in having McFly's version of 'Deck The Halls' as one of the songs on my Crackers list. Arctic Monkeys and Courtney Love have both publicly declared their admiration for the boys, so those who argue they haven't got any form of real credibility within the music industry already have two heavyweights to try to pitch their case against.
Despite their music attracting the teen masses, the band simply can't be classed in the same league as the majority of other cheesy acts flooding the scene. You may not like their style of music but you cannot accuse them of prancing around the stage to pre-recorded tracks as many other artists recording the same genre do. They write all of their own songs, play their own instruments and separated from their record label after feeling they had lost too great a proportion of their artistic license to the men in suits. Doesn't sound like your average manufactured boy band to me.
So let's all move on from our need for 'cool' artists for a minute and embrace some talented boys having a bit of Christmas fun.
