always thought they were overrated to some bands who went 10-15 yrs before them bit too clever for my liking. Lacking in tunes.
The kids don't care what us oldies think of "their generation" of bands
As a rock band they've done well for themselves in a market saturated with utter pap.
HH, go watch them with an open mind and beware of crowd surfers coming at you from all angles

'A Certain Romance', which they invariably close with, is one of the best closing songs you'll ever see at a gig.
Oh, I like them Dartsnbooze. I just haven't seen them live. Some of my faves I went to see live were disappointing. Just trying to see if they are worth it live or not.
To complete the sentence of your thread .......are shlt !
along with The Killers the most overated band in rock imo.
Whoa ! Absolutely can't agree with that! The Killers are brilliant.
Think they close with 505 these days? I may be wrong. But I am certain it is a fanstastic song and the FWN era is when they peaked.
I saw a brief interview with singer and drummer on the libertines reunion and it seems Mr Turner has completely forgotten writing the lyrics "Youre not from New York City youre from Rotherham". Or maybe he is only role playing is a lot smarter than me.

I saw them in Aberdeen during their second album.
They were so good I bought tickets off a tout for the gig the next day.
I must have seen at least 500-600 bands live in my time, and they are the best I've seen live.
Saying all that, I'm not so keen on their new material, and don't want to see them live again in case they ruin what I've already seen.

Friday 22 June 2007 - Glastonbury, one of my favourite performances ever (find it on youtube)
agree with Kev, but tbf those first two albums were so good - hard to improve upon

check out The Brian Jonestown Massacre , that's a band to knock these Monkeys and Killers into a tin hat
They had the vision of how to stand out in the musical desert that is the 21st century ,well played for that .....but lets be honest in a world dominated by Mumford & Sons , Coldplay , Kings Of Leon , at least they had an edge .
They were great until the fat bass player left. Then they were sh1te
"The Killers are brilliant."
I take back everything I've ever said about Facts. Clearly the guy does have a great sense of humour.
