What I meant when I first said that the KLF had no credibility was that they effectitively sold their credibility the moment they released Doctorin The Tardis. Personally I don't agree with this but it appears this way if you are a punk rock elitist indie type. They conducted their career in an extremely bizarre way up until and including the retiral. What I meant was that certain records such Tammy's version of Justified & Ancient were very cheesy records that may or may not (depending on your view) have been redeemed by the fact that they taking the piss out of these legends. And anyway, the Manics (my favourite band) said on day 1 that they only wanted success and that credibility doesnt matter. The logic being that if you are proud and happy that you soldout no body can accuse you of selling out. Logic That Makes Sense.

Not everyone knew the TimeLords were the JAMs. Lots of people still don't.

I can still accuse them of being wankers.
