Probably because of idiots like you driving them to it.

They'd still be filthy half naked barbarians without us, what gives them the right to go against us now? If they do get independence, they should pay us back everything we've ever given them, so basically, everything.

ITT: People arguing over their opinions on music, because everyone has the same tastes in music and this is well worth arguing over. Also, random youtube links

Your from Glasgow, what the fuck do you know?

I am an audiophile, my CD colleciton dwarfs yours and I have seen The Fall live, real Indie. The Monkeys are generic, deal with it.

It's twats like you that are the reason the rest of the UK hates the English. You give our country a bad name.

Nationality has nothing to do with knowledge of music. I barely interact with ZAAL on the forums and I've never talked to him on MSN or anything and even I know that the guy's got a good knowledge of music. Summit like 50 gigs worth he has if I remember correctly and you don;t get that much music without knowing something about it. I'd also wager Dingo has a greater knowledge of music than you as well.

The fact that all your responses in this thread have been along the lines of ' Shut up you know nothing lsiten to this' when those of us who dislike the Arctic monkeys have already said we don't like what they make.

Come back when you can put together a proper argument as to why they are good, and then we'll be happy to have a proper debate with you.

Mainstream Rock music has lost its balls. I hate that shit like the Arctic Monkeys and Hard-Fi andThe View are what are speaking to todays youth, and I blame Morrissey, who is still way better but was the start of drab suburban bored rock.

And I'm right, and you're wrong. The Arctic Monkeys are not original or unique, they're just fucking boring indie rock, and there is loads of rock and roll out there, present or past, that pisses all over the boring generic bastards.

Fuck the NME.

Suck. Especially live. Theyre like monkeys, you give them a penny, they play something that's it. They don't know how to perform. Arrogant dicks. Have no business in the music industry.

Your favourite bands:

2. Children of Bodom
3. Dimmu Borgir

Morrissey sings like he's describing a day spent watching Judge Judy and drinking watery tea.

I would grant him that sometimes in some songs he sings like he is actually experiencing some form of emotion and can occasionally sing powerfully, but he's done a lot of songs where he seems to be singing about the emotion 'bored'.

I thought that was somewhat the point to reflect the mundanity of their lives, plus I likes his singing, it's different.

I remember I heard the Arctic Monkeys on the radio for the 1st time and thought "that's kinda cool..."

After listening to them a bit more I changed my mind. They are pretty shit really.

How do you work that out? The only thing we ever did regarding Scotland was invade them, and we did a shitty job of that one.
Also, Artic Monkeys = Generic Popular Band. No charisma either, and not great live.
I GIVE THEM 1 OUT OF 5.
