The Ting-Tings somehow bought what seemed to be every second of radio airplay for about a month in 2008. Talk about overplaying your singles. It was very easy to dislike them. And when their debut album, 'We Started Nothing', was released, oversaturation meant it was generally detested.
It's easy to see why. It's all jangly forgettable nonsense with a very derivative singer, all cockney accented up because it's fashionable. But it's hard to dismiss out of hand. It's simple. It's playful. It's genuine pop music. And we don't get to listen to too much of that these days.
