Are you sure Bloc Party and Artic Monkeys are different bands?
This was my experience. Absolute garbage the first time I saw them, great the next. The venue of the first gig (an Ice Hockey stadium) didn't help.Which is kinda funny because live the Monkeys have yet to disappoint me but the variability of the strokes on stage is massive. I’ve seen them rip it up. I’ve also seen them come across as so bored on stage that I’ve fancied a little snooze myself.
adding this to my queue immediately following Deja Vu:
aww screw it, I had added some dumb ass super deluxe csny, listening now... I already like The Libertines more than AM or Strokes combined.

Jet put on one of the best live shows I've been to. Pure rock and roll!Jet is another band that I like that everyone seems to hate... lol.
I've never really dug the Hives either.
There could be a whole other side conversation about Aussie and NZ retro rock n roll. They definitely like that kind of stuff down here!Jet put on one of the best live shows I've been to. Pure rock and roll!
We used to make jugs of what we called hobo juice in those big Carlo Rossi wine jugs. Ugh the hangovers.I’m not sure but it did taste more like paint stripper mixed with vinegar.
To be a student again!
Got about halfway through The Little Flames album on the way home. I love this one.
This band and album came just a bit too late for me to get into. Sadly, full-time work and the misery of adulthood had hit hard by this point, and I wasn't really listening to music much.
So I've heard "I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor" before, I'm sure every one in the world has. Everything else is new to me so far, decent indie rock and I love the singer's accent.
Frank Spencer!
I like the copper bashing song, "Riot Van".
I thought I might recognise "Mardy Bum" but nope, new to me this one!
Ooh, I know this one!

Who came first, The Strokes or Arctic Monkeys?! I checked, I think The Strokes were first.
"Just cos he's had a couple of cans, he thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead." Haha, just about everywhere on a Friday / Saturday night in the late 90s / early 00s!!
That was alright, that. Can't give half stars, as I'd give it 2.5 / 5, so I'll go with 2 because it wasn't /that/ good.
I don't know what your problem with Gilmore is and don't really want to, you guys have killed enough heroes. anyhow... I think Floyd's music is a progression and I think it makes perfect sense to go that route. plus I have a sneaking suspicion that Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother are perfect for you.
Meh… just stream them. No reason to invest in a band you are not into.Maybe it will be a CD project for me later on in the year. Don’t really want to invest the money or effort finding good pressings for them on vinyl. The whole conversations about that on the Audiophile thread break my brain.

Don't think I've listened to this album front to back since the year it came out. One of my best friends, who at the time walked around looking like Ben Sherman had barfed on him, was going through a douche bag phase and got addicted to this album. I think that was part of the turn off for me, as there was a certain type in America who embraced the Arctic Monkeys and that wasn't my scene. I always moved more with weed and psychedelic types than coke in the bathroom of a dive bar types. So I usually went to the former kind of shows over the latter, and I skipped AM every time they came through. Listening to this now, I like it more than I did at the time. It has an energy that reminds me of the time and all the bad choices everyone I knew (me too) was making. But it's not an album of nostalgia for me, it's one that makes me think of the regret of a morning after and assholes who had no regret the morning after. This really peaks in Riot Van.
Love The Hives, hate Jet. Love The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand and The Coral were both great.Jet is another band that I like that everyone seems to hate... lol.
