Kings of Leon

[Dr. Gonzo]

Is there a more terrible and annoying band out there today? They are the Nickleback of 2010.

[Fpoonsie]

I dunno. I like 'em, especially their older stuff, pre-"Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody". I don't typically listen to pop radio, though, so I'm unaware if they're gettin overplayed a la Nickelback.

[Duff McCartney]

I think they are a fantastic band. They have some amazing music. Their first album was raw as . I don't think they are anything like Nickelback, but I do think that Use Somebody and Sex on Fire are probably overplayed on the radio.

Their second album is still probably their best though.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Absolutely awful.

[PakiDan]

COMPLETELY wrong!!!! Kings of Leon is a great band!!! Obviously, you JUST started listening to them.... KOL from 4 years ago.... great stuff.

Kings of Leon at ACL 2006... ing amazing. I can't believe you just compared them to Nickelback, midge. ing blasphemy!!!!

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Better than eminem

I believe a full dishwasher on high is better than eminem.

KOL is one of the best American rock bands out. People are so predictable. Yes, their old albums are gold, but their new stuff is still very good. Just because they are getting more popular, now people come out and say "the new stuff sucks".

That is true in some cases, but certainly not this one.

[fraga]

You kind of have to be a fan of that rock a billy type sound to really appreciate them...especially for their earlier albums...they've strayed away from that a bit for their latest album...still a good band...I would recommend listening to other types of genres of music other than what you're used to...

[z0sa]

you're wrong

[leemajors]

they always seem to play in a breeze so their hair can fly out behind them

[DPG21920]

They have a unique sound and they have a ton of good songs/albums. They are not some one hit wonders and whether you are into that style of music or not, I don't think you can really argue they suck.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I like ballsac

[DPG21920]

That is just a terrible argument 4cc and even you don't believe the verbal diarrhea that just spewed from your mouth. Does Crisper Gloven have many good songs and albums?

[mrsmaalox]

@ 4cc

I don't know if KOL sucks or not, but I listen to many genres of music and I like a couple of their songs. But basically I get real bored of them, real fast.

[Xylus]

I'm not sure if KOL's massive popularity is really justified, but they're not a bad band. Comparing them to Nickelback is off-the-mark, definitely.

[spurs_2108]

Just like others said, KOL earlier stuff is gold. Youth & Young Manhood is my favorite by them.

Did you Crisper Edit? 4cc flew way above your wavelength. Kings of Leon suck, unless the girl you are trying to hook up with or wish to keep continuing getting laid from likes them. It's ok to pretend.

[KidCongo]

DOn't you mean the Kings of Rock Saw that in an Aussie newspaper.

[Thunder Dan]

I loved them back in 2006-2007. Now they are awful. That last album was the biggest sell out ever

[monosylab1k]

Never listened to them before so I don't have an opinion on that....all I know is the one song they play on the radio constantly is definitely Nickelback-style butt rock at it's finest.

[CuckingFunt]

I've had a lot of people who I trust musically rant and rave about how great they are (or were, depending on the person), but the only song I've ever heard of theirs is "Use Somebody," which makes me want to rip my ears off. One of these days I'll give their earlier stuff a listen if for no other reason than to satisfy my curiosity, but if it all sounds like that song I don't imagine the experiment lasting too long.

It doesn't sound like Use Somebody. I really don't know why they overplay that song so much. Sex on Fire is a better song, but Closer is probably the best song on that album.

Their earlier stuff is different. It's the same guitar bass drum sound but a bit more raw and not as polished. Molly Chambers is a perfect example from their first album.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I like how all of a sudden everybody has been listening to them since their first rehearsal.
