Dejan Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Their songs are on heavy rotation all over the world, when the arctic monkeys are not on the same level with their new record.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Heck yes. Well unless they come out with a stoner rock album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrificAttack Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 They really aren't...All that has happened is AM's love affair with the mainstream has ended, whereas VW have merely made a good album that anyone can listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think you're comparing apples and oranges. Their music is completely different. Arctic Monkeys never had a crown anyway, they were just a fresh, new interesting band years ago that Vampire Weekend happens to be at the moment. And hence the circle of life.

alternativejunkie0012 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Artic Monkeys never had a crown at all never knew them until this site mentioned them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrificAttack Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think that you are totally wrong I agree. Vampire Weekend are a flash in the pan, Arctic Monkeys are going to be making amazing albums for a long time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_face_of_light Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 To be fair the Arctic Monkeys(and I liked the Last Shadow Puppets effort equally if not more) actually make decent music, I personally find Vampire Weekends music rubbish, luckily for me then that I'm not a big listener to radio.

Corkus Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 If Vampire Weekend is on an identical path to Arctic Monkeys, then man, I'm gonna hate their third album. :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Escapist Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 what crown is this? Crown of Love. Arcade Fire actually have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 What crown do Arctic Monkeys hold? Popular among the indie kids or what? They're a talented band but hardly groundbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Wasn't really my point hehe. Neither of them are. And don't get me started on the Strokes, easily the most overrated band (by the media) of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fietssleutel Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i haven't really listened to the arctic monkeys. what albums/songs would u recommend.Start with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think that you are totally wrong Explain. HOW can you compare the two? I dont even think that Arctic Monkeys are good enough for a "crown"... you have to be fucking amazing to get that. Hence, The Beatles, or Lady Gaga. Kidding on that last one. Don't get me wrong, I love both of these bands, but Vampire Weekend aren't taking anything from anyone, they're just putting out decent, original music that people are loving. Can't argue with that.

Agree i enjoy last shadow puppets alot , and i was suprised the sing was from the Artics... and its was ppure irony To list the 'crown' you guys were talking about 'crowns' are placed on artists who really have a HUGE HUGE impact on the music world To list the artists with 'crowns' right this moment: -Coldplay (obvious) -Kings Of Leon -Taylor swift (okie.....i know i shoudlnt have) -Crazy Gaga -Beyonce - :rolleyes: -Rihanna --:( Those are one of the artists who have the crowns right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivet Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't like Arctic Monkey's and Vampire Weekend is amazing <3 ^^wow... no. Except KoL, they are the kings... HEE HEE HEE... (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?! :awesome: ) Don't think they deserve it for this particular album, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Start with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. I listened to this and I thought it was crap. Would that mean that I wouldn't like any of their other albums, if not, suggestions? Anyway, to the original topic of Vampire Weekend being TOTES more loved than Arctic Monkeys... Maybe in the mainstream, but really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
