Arctic Monkeys...brilliant lyrical band...one of the best since wellers the jam....but its a shame another quality english band of similar standard "The Rifles" don't get the recognition on the radio that they should...Get both albums and listen all the way through

Arctic Monkeys never fail to amaze me with their spot on narrative lyrics and fresh individual 'av it' sound. I'm voting for this because Fake Tales from San Francisco isn't on the list. Seriously and there are 20 odd songs for Britney. Let's not take this too seriously...
