Are they the best band since oasis?

I did not really listen to the arctic monkeys when they first come out, but I bought both albums 5 month ago and they are brilliant! The guiter music in combination with lyrics that blow your mind away! My favourite songs are when the sun goes down and old yellow bricks! I can't wait for the third album and I will make it my mission to see them live!

Yah I like em! but I was never that thrilled by Oasis anyway. They're good but not so much (I think) that I would go see them. I'd definately go see Arctic Monkeys!

I would agree with you. I didn't buy into all the hype initially, especially the discovered via the internet thing, so gave them a wide berth for about two years. Picked up both albums for under £5 though a few months ago (thinking if I didn't like them it was no great loss) and was pleasantly surprised. Best British band? Hard to say, there is some stiff competition depending on your musical tastes (e.g. Hard-Fi, Kaiser Chiefs, U2, Coldplay, Keane to name but a few) but they are certainly amongst the top ten in my humble opinion.

I didn't really enjoy listening to the Arctic Monkeys at first but my boyfriend played it constantly and now find their music addictive. Love it.
