AVFC_Hitz Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Oh turnbull you do realise that TB is responsible for inflicting Richard Branson on the world, he was hugely unsuccessful until he released that Then Richard Branson created V2 records who's first band were Stereophonics, who in turn released Word Gets Around. Which is my favourite debut album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very funny. Anyway because Mr Bland is probably in the Outback, The Blue Nile’s first album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 In ten years time no one will remember the Artic Monkeys behave! probably the best British band going at the moment and more importantly easily the band most happy to play with and evolve their sound, add to that their significance and influence as a band in the 00s they'll be around for ages, they've got everything apart from a traditional rock and roll huge personality front man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A member of that forum claimed they were shite and no one would remember them in 5 years time. 5 years on they are arguably one of the biggest British bands on the planet. They're not going to be forgotten any time soon, a lot people do not realise the effect they had on British culture when their first album came out. Arctic Monkeys and Libertines are the only two British bands in my life time who have kinda changed a culture. 'Cos they certainly did that if you were in the age group they were aimed at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me they'll be up there with the Stereophonics a mere footnote in the annals of rock history on a par with lets say The Skids, in fact the Skids are a great comparison now I think about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certainly much smaller than One Direction surprisingly 1D 1st album sold 700k in the UK, AM sold 1.2m, 2nd albums 650k v 700k 1D don't actually shift that many records, they're a proper modern day boy band, more famous for being famous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
