To be fair Arctic Monkeys got the record for the fastest selling debut album in UK chart history. Not alot of 'indie' bands could say that around that time. Plus the first album was more rock.

Partly thanks to NME jumping onto them like a dog in head and overhyping the crap out of them.

Former Depeche Mode keyboardist Alan Wilder, describing the current state of the music industry in an article for Side-Line magazine, used the Arctic Monkeys as an example in his criticism of the use of dynamic range compression in modern recording techniques, calling the song "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", "a bombardment of the most unsubtle, one-dimensional noise."

Also ArsenalForever I know AM's were big before NME jumped onto them but they did help propel them. Christ, I'm sorry I ever went against the almighty Monkeys. |

Im just saying you tried to make that sound like it was your opinion that you came up with. Also I already said I do think they were over hyped at the beginning but I think it was with good reason......3 number 1 albums in 3 years.....you can clearly see theyve grown as a band and as for this "bombardment of one dimensional music" i'd say have a listen to humbug....it split fans completely.......nothing like the first 2 albums
crazy fan rant over/

I just paraphrased the guy because he put it better than I ever could. It's pointless saying 'as Alan Wilder once said' because most people on this forum have no idea who he is . |

That reminds me to watch those flicks again man. It's a bit of a Christmas tradition for me. That's not strictly true. They were big from the start but quickly changed when Vince Clarke left to form Yazoo after Speak & Spell. Whenever they felt they were getting to poppy they backlashed against that. |

i just think it's too soon to say AM are the best band of all time
because they really aren't. and the cure's longevity / influence outshines them.

never said they were but they are going in the right direction of becoming great. I agree the cure are out since 1978 of course they have more influence but the monkeys have sold out tours and broke records so early in their career shouldn't be looked down upon
