MGMT’s Ben Goldwasser wouldn’t change a thing. Three years ago he and Andrew Vanwyngarden, his musical other half, released an opinion-splitting second album, Congratulations.

The backlash rumbled on and on and, it could be argued, continues to this day.

MGMT are baffled by the Jedward phenomenon, calling them “kooky”.

MGMT’s collaboration with Jay-Z was rejected because they “went crazy”.
