"I find it hard to take rock groups very seriously or treat them with respect. There is something absurd about these gloomy young men getting together and banging away"

About this Quote
Robert Wyatt, a British artist and songwriter, reveals a lack of appreciation towards rock groups in this quote. He discovers it challenging to take them seriously or appreciate their craft. Wyatt indicates that the nature of rock music, which frequently includes gloomy and angsty lyrics, comes off as unreasonable to him. He further stresses his point by using the phrase "banging away," which represents the idea of musicians mindlessly striking their instruments rather than developing tune and meaning.
