They're ok, but slightly annoying. God knows how they get number 1s all the time.

I suppose it's better than having acts like the Vengaboys getting to number one!

I see them as a cheap version of Babyshambles, or the Libertines. All are pretty dull, but the Artics score a bit higher

I think they're quite good. I voted "alright". As I have said before; I saw em before they were huge. (Oxford Zodiac Summer 2005). I was one of the only people who didn't know their lyrics. The bloke i went with gave me a CD of some their stuff. I don't need to get the album because I reckon most of its on the CD. "Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" is.
I like the fact they get to number one, it's nice to have decent number ones for a change.
I quite liked the Vengaboys to be honest.

They now hold the record for the fastest EVER selling debut album (so, michael, if Jas held that record, he certainly doesn't anymore. or did you say single? can't remember)

So.. you should know who they are, really. biggrin.gif

I said single hun..... but how they got that record I don't know????I think they used the internet to lie, cheat and steal their way to sales.

lol all this indie claptrap really sucks. most of the bands can't work whether they are Punk (the ordinary boys, Babyshambles, Artic Losers) or just another rip off of something like the popular groups like Radiohead, The Stone Roses or Primal Scream ( and also they have really dull names ('The Stills' 'Coldplay' 'Snow Patrol' WTF)
