Which is quite ironic considering the guitars always sound out of tune

I have the second Libertines album. I bought it after MTV2 played them non stop. Most of it wasn't very good.
The song he sang on with Wolfman was alright

matt - i think you're probably right that a lot of people hate them because it's apparently "cool", their probably the same people that shop in burtons/next/top man/river island because it "cool" to be the spitting image of the tosser next to you in a club.
But i wouldn't have such a gripe with Arctic Monkeys if it wasn't for that gig - i don't see why they couldn't have got a couple of rhodies to look after the guitars between sets, it's what every other big band does

Suede - saw them 4 times, each time they were absolutely amazing, I blame my brother for me liking them, he dragged me along to the first gig 
Easyworld/David Ford - The bloke is a genius, he's a great song writer, but not a lot of people have heard of him.
Muse - I remember buying their debut album in 1999 and being absolutely blown away, I've not been let down by them since, and Showbiz is still incredible.
The Libertines - Again, first single was fucking awesome, first album was just as good, second album didn't disappoint either.
To be honest, I could go on for a while, I could give a reason why every band I have on iTunes is awesome.

I don't get why people think they are so bad? 
Im sure half the time it's to try to look cool, bit like those senseless pricks who don't rate Lewis Hamilton
Yeah, it's always Marc

1. Radiohead- Because I spent so much time listening to 'The Bends' and 'Ok Computer', my fave albums
2. Genesis - Because their old stuff is brilliant, before they became a pop band
3. Doves- 'Sea songs' is one of my favourite songs
4. Pink Floyd- Because 'Dark side of the Moon' is classic and you can never get tired of 'Shine on you crazy diamond'
