That said, they always sounded reasonably pretentious and somewhat aloof in interviews (and not the fun quotable pretentiousness of the Gallaghers). @jonian2008: I couldn’t care less for their last couple of records, but I used to like them alright when they were the mush-mouthed “Southern Strokes” (what a terrible tag!) with terrible beards, worse haircuts, and a few really good unpretentious rock’n'roll songs.

Just like the rest of you guys, I've been aware of them since they first came out and saw them open for Pearl Jam a couple of years ago. Now everyone is all over them hyping the band and they definitely have the attitude of "Yeah, we deserve this." That's kind of a turn off to me as well as friends of mine who don't listen to music anymore have been asking me about them every other week. Just not my cup of tea.

Kelly is so humble and down-to-earth. I love Pink and think she's got a dynamite and unique voice. But Kelly's is the voice that I can listen to for hours on end, and it's such an expressive and wide-ranging instrument: sweet, raw, powerful, heartbreaking, thrilling. Really, all I ever wanted and more :-) I completely agree that Kelly is underselling herself on the “best voice of the generation” thing. Kelly is so humble and down-to-earth.

Seriously, Kings of Leon are a quintessential rock band. Are the sex and drugs, guitars, great songs, good looking band members and universal appeal preventing me from seeing their true non-rock nature? Almost seems to be like Kings of Leon are a band for people who know a lot about rock and expect much more than Coldplay offers. @jonian2008: I never thought I’d be saying this, but I’m actually going to side with Kelly Clarkson.

Kings Of Leon are the rock band for people who don't know sh*t about rock. I'm so sick of seeing them everywhere and all the hipsters name dropping them. It reminds me of people like P Diddy giving Coldplay shout outs a couple of years ago. And… Kings Of Leon are the rock band for people who don’t know sh*t about rock.

Major sigh.

A lot of their songs remind me of soundtracks because they’re so epic.
