'huge, queer and tawdry' but 'much admired by the public'

If I ever hear a band dribble in an interview "We're not afraid of pop, we don't think it's a dirty word. We're not ashamed to be pop." then I pretty much know they're going to be godawful. And I never liked Baxendale. And Barry, comparing them to Klaxons is a stretch worthy of Reed Richards.
