BOC:Kerrang! Singles chart

[Mark Von Bargen]

Listen,

Kerrang is written by idiots for even younger idiots. Despite being a UK
based magazine it consistently ignores homegrown talent in favour of the
latest fad from America. In fact its true to say that it ignores a lot of
talent from America in favour of the latest fad from America.
Its tabloid music journalism at its worst.
Guess what, Nirvana won best single of all time. What an effin'  joke -
waste of time, highly overrated smack head loser.
Long may the Foo Fighters fly
