Franz Ferdinand

[EightMilesHigh]

Sort of a guilty pleasure, but I have been listening to these guys practically non-stop lately. Incredibly catchy, fun, dancy stuff, they remind me a lot of XTC. I saw them last night, it was amazing, so much energy. Alex was great at interacting with the crowd.

Discuss your love/hatred/indifference towards them here :cool:

That is an insult to XTC.

[Dave de Sylvia]

XTC is a lot better of a comparison than Gang of Four. I like them, but I think they struggled to live up to their debut album.

[Brain Toad]

Franz Ferdinand were my guilty pleasure for a long time as well. Haven't listened to them for a long time though.

I loved them since I first heard their debut (summer 04), their followup initially disappointed me but I have since recognised it as a very strong album, but with weaker individual songs than the debut. I still like them, just not as fervently.

i dont think franz ferdinand are getting enough cred there a nice change to the wave of indie these days

[Clunge]

I like them. First gig was a FF gig and it was good fun.

[Mexican Bandito]

I've liked the singles that have been realeased but I feel that albums have been a dissapointment.

Umm, they are the wave of indie these days.

[Phallus Dei]

Meh, they are alright. I bought there album and liked the singles and a few other songs but they were never a band that really stuck to me. They are easy to brush off and not listen to.

[ThaFleastyler]

I really like FF now, but it took me a long, looong time to get into them. I don't know whether that is good.

See, I'm the opposite - the singles are great but I think the album works better as a whole than as individual tracks.

[Lady Lex]

Cant stand them. And its taken me months to realise this :lol:

Umm, they are the wave of indie these days.

i dont agree with that , there not one of the major indie groups there way too fun :naughty:

[morrissey]

Franz Ferdinand are probably the most famous/popular/well-received of all the new indie bands, at least until the Arctic Monkeys came along.

[Neoteric]

I love This Fire but I don't get all the hype....

[Mispeled]

I liked Take Me Out, but don't really care for them otherwise.

[2muchket!]

I liked both albums but really there more of an alt/indie band surely ?

[Neoteric]

I liked Take Me Out, but don't really care for them otherwise.
That song really annoys me now.

[Iai]

Why are people guilty about liking Franz? They're a fantastic group.
