yes, when everybody else likes the band, its time to start disliking them to be 'alternative' again.

Or they were always crap?

The libertines are still a band but just with a member gone.
And oasis have sold more records than the doves ever will.

Sorry thats what i meant, the junkie made them a great band, average without him now.

Oasis should have been called "3 Chords" Only 1 really good album, the rest were below average, i actually like Oasis but they are extremely limited

Oh dear, oh dear. I'm not even going to go through that list but there's not one band on there worthy of tying Doves shoelaces. For example Kaiser Chiefs are appalling beyond belief.

Great gig last night BTW.

Are you serious Franz Ferdinand are head and shoulders above the Doves.
The Killers are going to be huge,much better than the Doves.
The Doves have one decent song the rest is glaringly average.

Joey I just checked your profile and you're nearly 20 years younger than me.

So I don't think we'll ever see eye to eye. Franz Ferdinand are just a very average Gang of Four/Talking Heads rip off and The Killers are a slightly above average Cure tribute band. Then again I was obsessed with the Cure, New Order, the Bunnymen etc when I was your age so each to their own I suppose.

Fair anuf old man

Yeah I was at the gig as well. It was excellent alright. Openiong with Pounding set the tone of the evening and 6 or 7 songs later there was no let up. Then the lull slightly set in for 2 or 3 songs, before the encore which was great and left you feeling it was well worth the visit!! Great band, not everyones cup of tea, but better live. I like all their albums. To enter into the above conversation,

I consider them to be a different kind of band to The Killers et al. I would not even go NEVER comparing them to The Thrills. The Bravery are not growing on me so far. Maybe they will. Keane, as stated I think they are dull as dull can be. I think the Doves stand out as different to the above, and are great at what they what to do. Of top bands around at the moment, I'd have Muse up in the top three

Definitely Maybe is an excellent album, one of my favourites. However, down hill from there. Got the Definitely Maybe DVD for Christmas - worth a buy if you're a fan of that era Oasis (Which I remain today - christ the b-sides were better than the rubbish they're putting out these days).
