How many people here actually like them?

I like a couple of their songs like Fluorescent Adolescent and Old Yellow Bricks but I think most of their stuff is the same. I find them to be a very overrated band, but everyone I know LOVES them. (:/) People always say to me "How can you not like the Arctic Monkeys?!" when I tell them I find them incredibly average at best. Most people I know just look at me as if I've commited a murder. :|

Also another band that I find to be overrated (especially by the NME...shocker) is The Enemy. Man, I haven't listened to such a boring and uninspiring album in years.

Thoughts..?

I agree completely. I don't find Arctic Monkeys particuarly interesting at all, it's just very generic indie rock to me. I do find a bit of their music quite enjoyable, but the hysteria around them is ridiculous.
The Enemy on the other hand, is just very generic, rather crap indie rock from a band with an awful, generic name and image. They'd be hard pressed to be any more unappealing. Of course, i could easily say the same for a large percentage of the current British "indie" rock scene.

They used to annoy me but their second album is really rather good personally.

The question is, will there ever be a British band as good/big as Oasis were? I don't think there will be, and that's depressing.

"As good as Oasis" - I'd put Muse as being "better" than Oasis myself.

There's plenty of good bands in the UK, I think there'll always be good, fresh talent around here and I'm glad of it. Even if not strictly Indie, bands like Guillemots are original and show that people still make good music nowadays, even if people wish to think that modern music is rubbish.

(The Arctic Monkeys earn a "meh" from me, couple of songs I like but I'm not into them at all)

I quite rate them, but, coming from where i do, you kind of have to.

They're the best of the new 'British-indie' bands, the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Kooks, Kasabian, Maximo Park being the followers if you like.

Not on the same level as Muse of course, but different type of band entirely :D

Concurred.

Muse are a just a hollow soulless load of bollocks.

I completely agree. All these indie bands come around like every year, put out a record - an average one too, then disappear.

I'd disagree with that. Though, Muse aren't really my cup of tea. I love Starlight, but that's about it. Oasis have many classics. Wonderwall, Live Forever, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova, etc, etc... :p They also had the fastest selling debut album in the UK, and recently received the "outstanding contribution to music" award - that's something Muse probably won't ever achieve. Though I'm not saying Muse are rubbish - just not my thing. The impact Oasis made was far greater than Muse made.

Muse have won best live band countless times, and best album a few times at award ceremonies all across the world.

Oh, and the fact you rate Starlight, easily Muse's 'poppiest' song as your favourite, i think maybe shows you dont QUITE get Muse.

No offence like, i mean Oasis are ace.

Arctic Monkeys. Meh. Average. Every single of them sounds so the same.

I can name a lot of better bands. Arctic Monkeys are just one of the way too many indie bands atm.

edit: IMO Oasis is a bunch of crap btw.

Fair play, Tom. I have indeed heard Muse are a great live act. I'm not knocking them or anything, Matt Bellamy has an awesome voice which is why Starlight sort of caught my attention. You're not a fan of the song then?

I don't particularly like Oasis. Arctic Monkeys do have some great songs but I agree that they are overrated.
I really like Muse, though it did take me a while until I got into it.

Yeah, I suppose it'll be the same with me. I didn't really like Oasis at first..infact, a lot of the bands I listen to now I didn't like instantly. I didn't particularly care for U2 for some reason, but now they're one of my favourites. But their first few albums are f'n class, especially The Joshua Tree - one of the best albums I've ever listened too. (Y)

I'll have to listen to Muse a bit more I guess, takes me a while to get into things. I love Bellamy's voice - which is a good starting point I suppose. :p

EDIT: What does everyone think about The Jam? They were a class british band.

Starlight, easily Muse's 'poppiest' song

Supermassive Black Hole.


Monkeys (N)

I've read that a lot of the other bands also dont rate them because they never 'struggled' to get to the top.

They got famous because some label caught their MySpace page and liked their music.

No, really, I do.

That's hardly their fault though, is it?

The essence of rock and/or roll is slowly but surely getting diluted by the internet, I reckon. It's sad. But inevitable.

I miss the 90's.

Another reason for a music forum this thread. :(

HA! Yeah, you "miss the 90s." Like when you were 8 years old and listening to Blink 182 in 1997. Give me a break.

Arctic Monkeys....hmmm, I listened to some of their songs, but I really can't get into indie rock at all. :boohoo:

BTW, yeah, Muse > Oasis

Arctic Monkeys plays good straightforward rock, and they are one of the few indie bands, I listen to, but they're not so special. Just basic rock. Muse is good, I won't ever say they're not, but it's not as much my style of music as some others. I like couple of their songs, and maybe I'd like them a lot, if I had heard them more.

Oasis, great band, so 90's. I didn't listen that much one year ago. Just to a couple of their songs. Then I saw Wonderwall on MTV, and thought I could try to listen to a couple of their albums I had. I completely fell in love with their music, and as you can see at my last.fm -profile, it's my most listened band.

By the way, I see that we share the same taste of music with SlowSilver. I also love U2. :)

I started listening to them because of people on every forum. Everyone says they're fantastic etc.

HA! Yeah, you "miss the 90s." Like when you were 8 years old and listening to Blink 182 in 1997. Give me a break.

haha thats me (H)

Ah pipe down junior. Whats that go to do with you? I'm saying generally. Its not cool to like succesful bands these days, you have to be into little ones that no-ones heard of.

Don't get me wrong I do love Oasis - in fact (What's the Story) Morning Glory was one of the first albums I bought and still one of my favourites now. I don't really like Oasis too much outside of that album, there's a few good singles from the other albums but I definately thought Morning Glory was their one shining album.

Muse have been consistently fantastic (in my opinion) on their albums and I'd put them above Oasis in my books. What we really need is another Mark Knopfler, thank god he's got his new album out in September :p

Ah pipe down junior. Whats that go to do with you? I'm saying generally. Its not cool to like succesful bands these days, you have to be into little ones that no-ones heard of.

Personally, I dislike them because they play sh!te music. The little I've heard has simply been boring. But hell, to each his own.

Supermassive Black Hole.

Quite poppy, but Starlight is such a 'simple' pop song. Agree with you about Hysteria though. I think from the new album, Knights of Cydonia is the one song i'd recommend everyone to listen to, since it's a showcase of Muse's talents really.

Plug-in Baby, Hysteria, Glorious, New Born, Bliss, Butterflies and Hurricanes, many many good songs, hence why they're (at the minute) far better than the Arctics.

The thing you gotta say though, is that we all bang on about the Arctics not having enough good songs compared to Oasis and Muse, well, yeah, but they've only just released their second album to be fair!

Ofcourse, there are goin to be poeple that generally dislike the music, but certainly the case around where i live is of that mentioned above.

Perhaps that's the case where you live, but not where I live. So don't tell me to "pipe down". I don't dislike them because it's cool, I dislike them for the same reason as Dragan.

And you asked what it's got to do with me...well er, I started this thread, I made the topic so it has plenty to do with me. :| It's got as much to do with me as anyone else who replies in this thread.

I love Knights of Cydonia (Y). Favourite album from them is Absolution though. Most people I know prefer Origin of Symmetry, but I really never could get into that album.

Yeah most say Origin of Symmetry, i'm not sure, i think Absolution has a lot of very good songs on it, as does Black Holes and Revelations, but i think Origin of Symmetry takes it for me because it seems so ahead of its time.

HA! Yeah, you "miss the 90s." Like when you were 8 years old and listening to Blink 182 in 1997. Give me a break.

I was 10 in 1997. I remember britpop completely and I know for certain that British music since then hasn't had anything come close to the cultural impact of that. Nowadays there's a lot of soundalike Libertines inspired crap like The View, Pigeon Detectives, The Paddingtons, Larrikin Love, bloody awful.

Please don't ever mention myself, listening, and Blink 182 in the same sentence ever again.

Mega mega white thing mega mega white thing, mega mega. shouting lager lager lager lager

Completly agree with you on this one. Although I love the Libertines themselves, all those new bands are crap though.

Better off listening to good old English bands like The Small Faces, The Beatles, The Only Ones or The Clash imo.

Libertines are tosh, just for the record.

Yeah, fair enough. The last 3 or 4 Oasis albums have been pretty inconsistent - but even so, they still have a few classics spread out among them. Heathen Chemistry was probably their poorest yet.

Not hated, i just don't think picking on Nick was entirely the right idea.

I wasn't picking on him, just "having some fun" (if you want to call it that). Anyway, let's leave it here, if you guys don't mind so people can continue talking about monkeys.

At least you took it well anyway. Oh and yes, may the talking about monkeys continue...

I can't say I really like any of the bands mentioned here. I like most of the songs I've heardm but I haven't heard many. Muse has to be the best of the bunch, though. Mainly because most of the other two bands' songs sound the same.

Although I'm the only person living in Spain who I've ever seen like any of those bands (excluding Oasis). Unless, of course, they release a new video, in which case half of my friends start praising them, and their 'original, alternative sound', claiming that they've always liked them. Then, Shakira released a single, they all forget about 'em, I mention their name, to cries of 'what ****e are you talkin' about?' and I answer: 'the band you loved 2 weeks ago', to be replied to with a 3 second silence, and a 'I was just messing with you'.

My point is, spaniards are idiots.

Arctic Monkeys are very overrated. It's the media's fault. Still, I like some 4 or 5 songs from them, especially "This House Is A Circus".

Quite funny that the term to compare the band are normally MUSE and Oasis. Surely...both of them are much better bands than Arctic Monkeys...

It's a hype...a very big hype. In 3/4 no one will know who they are. I think.

do any of you guys know Placebo?

do any of you guys know Placebo?

they always put me in a bad mood. I don't like sad music like this :(

heh?

I rarely concentrate on lyrics when listening to a song :/

even so, Placebo doesnt always have sad songs?

the sound can look rather depressive, even if you don't pay attention to the lyrics...

I haven't listened to Placebo much, and what I heard I didn't really like.
But I think I'll give it a try some time.

Their songs are depressing, both lyrically and musically. Still, 'song to say goodbye' is one of my favorite songs.

We once performed a play based on the video for it... saddest drama classes I ever had.

Yeah Placebo are very depressing. It looks depressing before the lyrics, it looks outrageously depressing after you see the lyrics.

Still, I like some of their songs. Special K is one of my fav songs.

I never even got close to actually listening their lyrics. The sound alone is too depressing already...

Surely these arent depressing?

yep,like someone said - this band isn´t band - it´s a perfect dream... placebo songs caught me faster than silverstein or any other songs of another bands,placebo shows my life as it is - 16 years as depressed,****ed and psychologically destroyed ;(

This was on a youtube video of theirs by a self-proclaimed huge fan. Me, I don't care about whether the song is depressing, if it's good, it's good. I just avoid watching their vids because I hate the singer. Looks too emo, way way way too emo.

The singer is gay, bisexual.. something. The whole band is.

Same, I dont fancy that part of them. With the makeup and all :(

So even though Damien Rice is depressing in about 80% of his songs, you wouldn't mind him because he doesn't look like a poof? Fair play :D

I do not mind their songs, their songs are alright, the ones I have heard, at least. But in terms of videos, yes, I would rather see someone who did not dirty sanchez his eyes with petrol. I just hate that image of guys putting on make up. When they put some on,m they put too much on, it is like a weird statement: Now that I cut myself I should be allowed to look as stupid as I want.

And I have only heard one Rice song, anhd really liked it, anyone want to recommend some of his other songs?

It's Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral .

And I have only heard one Rice song, anhd really liked it, anyone want to recommend some of his other songs?

From the album 'O': Delicate, Volcano, The Blower's Daughter, Older Chests, Amie, I Remember

From the album '9': Elephant, Rootless Tree, Dogs, Grey Room

Thank you, I am guessing all the O ones are like Blowers Daughter is some way?

Anyone like The Fratellis?

Yeah, one of the best indie bands of the last few years, Costello Music is an excellent album.

Great live shows, too (Y) .

Mwah. I like them, but they get overhyped. Especially Chelsea Dagger which really is far from the best song on their album.

yeah, they're not bad. I quite like them.

Cody:

Henrietta > Baby Fratelli > Chelsea Dagger > Flathead > Ole Black and Blue eyes > others.

In my opinion.

I like Henrietta best as well. Ole a good second.

Another one of their best songs IMO is ''Cigarello'' but it's not on their album.

Thank you, I am guessing all the O ones are like Blowers Daughter is some way?

Not desperately! The only one close to it is "Elephant" on 9, which was originally named "The Blowers Daugher, part II". :)

I love Creeping up the backstairs, too.

Arctic Monkeys are BORING. what are they doing that's different from every other lame ass 'indie' rock band? nothing! it wouldn't matter as much if the songwriting was excellent but its not, it's mediocre.

I have suddenly developed a huge liking for this band.

Best band ever :(
