You should have just said "please refer to my username"

Totally agree, Bloc Party are the best band of the 21st century and are my favourite band ever.

Silent Alarm is faultless, A Weekend In The City has its highlights and Intimacy is a real step forward with the electronica dancey edge. They are one of the few bands as well who actually put time and effort into making brilliant B-sides like Skeleton, Always New Depths, The Once and Future King.

Kaiser Chiefs are dreadful.

Can't argue with that. Unfortunately, they haven't done a thing right since then for me.

Yup. Muse.

I'm my opinion they're just in another league to other british bands of this century.

Yeh, theres really no contest at all....Awesome band, my all time fave!

Can I just say I was wrong? I disliked the second album and the subsequent singles so much that I didn't even bother buying Intimacy until a week ago.

To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. They've got their edge back and the songs are interesting again. If Silent Alarm was a 10/10, then Weekend is at best a 5, but Intimacy is at least 8.

God, didn't think this thread would resurface again. I'd like to also state that I agree with the person who said Bloc Party's b-sides play an important part some of them could even have formed other BP albums.

The Libertines FTW!

Has to be Arctic Monkeys for me.
