Anyone still like them? For me, the novelty wore off a long time ago and this article proves it: www.nme.com/news/108006.htmIn other news, Jamelia has been confirmed for V (?) as have Jet, The Thrills and Badly Drawn Boy.

surprised to see them make two albums.

The Darkness are brilliant. I don't mean that in a purely musical sense, but in a "plug a hole in the market" sense. Whether it was contrived or not, they arrived with a great blend of musical ability and appeal to bridge the gap between your "Busted" and RHCP genres. A bit camp, a bit raunchy, a bit - the 2000's answer to The Sweet. What I admire most is the way they made their own success after being turned down by all the big labels. Fair play to them - doubt they'll last more than 2 or 3 years, but once you've got the Yacht, been on Jonathan Woss and had John Peel say "who?" about you, what else is there?

"Greatest Rock Band" My Arse! Replace the R with a C and your something near it.
In truth I didn't mind the first couple of songs but, as usual, air time kills any good songs that come out.

I quite like them, the album is very good. I do think they were blown up out of all proportion a few months ago and as such are getting too much press coverage. They are a good band, but there are quite a few better. The new Crackout album is rather good.

Not the best band but not the worst band in the world. Quite liked the album, the sound of a band enjoying themselves is no bad thing.
Listening to Incubus myself at the moment (LOUDLY), and thats good news about Jet at V, might be worth getting a ticket as they are a great band.
