I don't like the arctic monkeys, I've heard their music a lot but don't own the album.
I'm not surprised they won and as much as I want to hate them (with their arrogance etc) I'm still impressed that they got this far and are only 19. I didn't win a mercury music prize when I was 19, or have a number 1 album, so I have to respect them for that.There is an underground theory in the music industry (passed on from some session musicians I know) that they didn't actually write the album themselves, or at least got some help especially lyrically. I even heard that they didn't play on all the tracks too.
Not sure what to make of that, the music is extremely simplistic so I don't see why they would need helo. Either way, I hope the trend for something different comes along soon, something a bit more complex to wrap the ears around.
Not that I care what is 'trendy' I'll still listen to john scofield whatever comes around.
