What's Their Best Song? #19: Arctic Monkeys

Music
1

Hello. We all love voting and ranking stuff, right? So let’s do it with some artists’ back catalogues. This will be a series of threads (unsure of timeframe etc at the moment) so if you don’t like an artist then don’t you worry your sweet ass, another will be along soon after. This time we’ll be voting on songs by ARCTIC MONKEYS

HOW IT WORKS

So, voting will be similar to ones I’ve done before. You have 10 points to distribute however you like, across the entirety of the artist (Arctic Monkeys in this case)‘s entire catalogue of songs. Album tracks, singles, b-sides, whatever you like, if I can google it and verify that it’s by them then it can get points. You can give all 10 points to one song or 1 point to 10 songs or anything in between. I’ll then calculate the points totals and do a results thread where the boards’ favourite song by whoever the subject is will be revealed.

:rotating_light: PLEASE DM ME TO VOTE, VOTES POSTED IN THE THREADS WILL NOT BE COUNTED :rotating_light:

Any questions? Thought not, let’s get going!

General chat is encouraged, obviously.

Don’t really know any so will be interested to see (hear) the results.

Why not listen to some, you’ve got plenty of time before voting closes and they’re very good.

Considering they never improved on the two tracks they put on MySpace back in the day this will be an easy one

Just not really got the energy. Very much in the mood for gloomy drawn out stuff or US alt punk right now.

I did try The Car. Truly a terrible thing. But it also didn’t really sound anything like IBYLGOTD so who knows.

‘Despair in the Departure Lounge’ - Ten (10) points.

As a slight aside (and I don’t know if they are mentioned elsewhere) I heard The Reytons the other night for the first time. Their business model seems to be ‘Be The Early Arctic Monkeys’

Yeah, couldn’t believe it when we played their debut in the store. Literally thought it might have been AM doing an undercover back to basics project, but it seems not
