Well, Float On did top the billboard charts for a while.
See? I didn't bash them this time.  |

That's odd...I haven't had a chance to listen to the properly, but from what I heard, they don't have a very accessible, mainstream sound. :-/

I will disagree with ARCTIC MONKEYS, they are much more than just music, I think that they have the potential to be one of the greatest British bands ever, on the virtue that they are quintessentially British, use their own accents, and introduce (within their lyrics) that self effacing humour that has been sadly lacking in British music.
