Take this into consideration. Beatles started as a pop band, and then they started to make more experimenting stuff becoming more underground. I would say it's nearly the same with FF. At least if you look at their early stuff, and then compare it to their new stuff.
Peeps be missing the point of music, so you don't like the J Bros, why waste any second of your life dedicating any thought to them? to hate something is to actively dislike it, if you hate something you're overthinking it. d:
Please don't insult Franz Ferdinand by relating them to The Beatles in any way. I am not a fan of The Beatles at all. But, I am a fan of Franz Ferdinand. Yes, I realize a lot of people in the world are Beatles lovers, but not everything has to relate to The Beatles and their millions of baby boomer fans. The Beatles didn't create music.
If ANY band is to be called "todays beatles" or beatles anything its Franz Ferdinand Jonas bros can rot in hell yea tweens are gonna thumb me down but i dont care Franz ferdinand is pure skill unlike those other fags
yeah but i think "You could have it so much better was more like The Beatles greatest Hits album. The whole album was so good. The new album is a little weird, its almost like they were trying to make a hit album and not playing a hit album. You know what im saying.
I guesse im saying that the new album is not the the same as the first two.
I agree it was a good album i bought it in the first couple days when it came out. The difference is that beatles albums were classics and you could have it so much better is mainly forgotten. This doesn't make it bad it is good but it does not compare
I'd rather so as well (in comparison to Jonas and Franz), but the thing is that I don't think they should be known as "new Beatles" at all. If that's the case, they're just simply copycats. You can tell they're inspired, but thank god they don't sound like them. That's what makes them good; they don't copy the sound.
It's not that I HATE the Jonas Brothers...they are a different band altogether, and my tastes are different.
While Jonas Brothers has a strong marketing, Franz Ferdinand is ...zilch.
Well...at least their better than Tuesday Weld....THAT is a band who is sadly never even mentoned! I literally cry when someone says"who" to Real Tuesday Weld.
@Reelbigearth@Reelbigearth Who?.................Nah I'm kidding XD The Real Tuesday Weld is really nice, I'm not sure about the name but I like some of their songs :D
Well I don't really hate them (Jonas Brothers), Its just that I'm tired about the teens and little girls that loves them, and dont care about better bands.
@BeamKatana man, it's just fine to put The Beattles and Franz Ferdinand in the same sentence, but adding something like Jonas Brothers into the equation just felt like taking a hat out of a bunny. All in all you're right, but you just can't compare a shitpop band to rock legends
@BeamKatana pure skill??? yeah they are good but..come on! there are band that are FAR more creative, less repetitive, more rich of sound and not that commercial. Maybe you should start listening to some minor internet radio's for a change.
Why is a discussion of the Jonas Brothers happening in a thread for a Franz Ferdinand video? Isn't that like debating the merits a Big Mac at a steakhouse?
when people compare the jonas brothers as the beatles of today rages me so much; i mean, franz ferdinand is more worthy to hold the title as the beatles of today >_> just saying.
you know why people say the Jboys are called "today's Beatles"? Cause they're massively accepted by the Music-listening world. The young girls scream when they hear them, just like the Beatles. They're music is nothing near the caliber of the Fab Four, but that's where the saying comes from. I hate them just as much as the next normal person with their own sense of music.
yeah i know that fangirl thing with the jonas brothers but it feels so degrading to say that. feels like music just went a level down when i hear that.
yeah, I hate it too. I think if they left Disney and weren't confined to writing bubbly gum pop songs for all the little girls to like they might actually be a decent band.
@Anon060 everybody who even dares to mention the beatles and these unoriginal lambs of commerce in the same sentence deserves to be shot in the face :)
you know, it would be super cool if franz ferdinand hopped on a plane, crossed the atlantic, and then hustled it over to the west coast down here to San Diego, because i'd pay a lot to see them play, and everyone always skips San Diego to play in LA.
franz ferdinand and the band Annasay are two of the most incredible bands. I know Annasay is on itunes and youtube too. Check out the Annasay song "Winter Air" or "This is Love
Ulysses is good but No you girls is fantastic! After some years of rest in which I could listen only to the songs from the other albums(i know them by heart) is great to comeback with something new that is still Franz Ferdinand !!! PS: I WANT ALEX'S SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every song on their new album is recorded in a different room of an old castle. that is why every song on the album had a different sound :) I saw a documentury of the recording on bbc :D
Well, technically Franz Ferdinand is the name of the band as a whole, not just one person in the band. But I guess your Mom likes the lead singer Alex Kapranos? Hm, very understandable =]

Well, To me The Beatles and Franz Ferdinand are two different bands that are good in their own ways.
But comparing the Beatles and Franz Ferdinand is like comparing Cake to Pizza; there both good sure, but would you want them both at the same time?
Sadly, the Jonas Brothers will be the one's most remembered as the 'new beatles'.
