I love this band, like, sooooooo much. They got voted in to the top 100 albums of all time, on that TV program recently, voted for by the readers of loads of magazines (ie NME,Q, select ect) and the listeners of radio 1. Both "Hateful of hollow" and "the Queen is dead" got in to the top 50.... marvelous.
