@kevintheshedend1976 The Arctic Monkeys are pretty good IMO, but you're right, these guys are far better than all of those bands and more.
Brilliant
So much of this genre was underground.
The Damned, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex.. the list is endless, but none of them had a top 20 hit. Bands just weren't promoted and marketed back then as they are now.
All of those bands piss on Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian and Kings of Leon from a very great height, but the latter all made more money from 1 tour (on the back of 1 album) than their predecessors did in their entire careers
Modern music industry, eh

Bands like The Stranglers never needed a top 20 hit,as their music spoke for itself...there will be people still listening to this stuff LONG after the Arctic Monkeys,Kings Of Leon,etc...have shuffled from this mortal coil...It is timeless.
