Considering Is This It? remains the template for quite a lot of emerging Irish bands,I'd also have to agree with WolfAtTheDoor.Maybe this says more about musical stagnancy than anything else though.

America certainly felt the repercussions of Grunge much longer than those of us living in the UK, thank God. We just got Strokes inspired ne'er-do-wells The Libertines, who then went on to inspire the next generation of unkempt ragamuffins fiddling about with untuned guitars. It wasn't much better than what you guys had to go through, but at least it wasn't Puddle of Mudd and Nickelback.

Ah now,I'm sure The Twang and Scouting For Girls give them a run for money in the pedestrian stakes.

Back on topic-The Strokes may have had a strongly negative influence on music, but it's not their fault. As regards the solo albums, are any of them worth getting?
