Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

name a better british album since 1997 since the fake sound of progress?

i like the Fake Sound of Progress to be fair. It has that experimental/metal element to it that makes it unique. But to say it's the best British album since 1997 is taking things a little too far!

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

I did actually download a bit last time the whole lostprophets thing came up and wasn't really impresed. Shinobi Vs Dragon Ninja spings to mind. It's not great is it?

actually Ben that song kicks arse. It's probably their best one. The last 2 albums are pretty shite though it has to be said

Why has Boeta turned into such a jumped up little cunt?

Now or 2 years ago? It's nothing new...

Favourite Worst Nightmare - Thought i was going to be disappointed and i'm not. It's actually really quite good.  

[strooood]

lost prophets are proper poprock gash, what a load of shit.
i could name 20 albums 20 times better since 97.

Back to the point, I listened to the Artic Monkeys new album and wasn't really impressed. Will have another listen but it didn't seem great

I can name loads. Infact in my opinion anyone from the last 10 years. Chikinki, The Go Team, Franz Ferdinand, The Sugar Babes, The Coral, The Zuotons, Any of the recent stuff from Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis( and that's been poo), Gorillaz, The Beta Band, Maximo Park, The Arctic Monkeys, The Pippetes, Bloc Party, British Sea Power, Dirty Pretty Things, Babyshambles, Explosions in the Sky, I am Kloot, Ian Brown, Lilly Allen, The Streets, Richard Ashcroft, The future heads, The Rakes, The Magic Numbers, I can keep going if you want.

explosions in the sky are from texas, but yes, very good band.

i can only imagine that the person claiming the first lost prophets album to be a high water mark for british music is, in fact, taking the piss.

[Simon Pieman]

Sonic's list isn't entirely British bands. I think Boeta must win

[sonic youth]

who did i include that isn't british?
