Their main appeal was that they dressed all cool and were from New York. If they were from Barnsley no one would've given a shit. 2 minutes ago, Hugh Jass said: They were bleak times. Ooh ooh and the Eminem one with Stan on it when people thought they were cool hip hop fans because they knew the words to the shouty bit at the end.

When you look at all the shit that was out there at the turn of the millennium - Dido, Toploader, nu-Metal, David Grey, Starsailor... it's no wonder The Strokes became so popular. There was literally fuck all else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Strokes would have to play Last Nite on repeat for two hours... ? Staggering opinion that, possibly the most bizarre I've seen on here since The Strokes rumour kicked off It's one thing not to like them but to claim they have one single, that's laughable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long maintained on these pages that Juicebox is an absolute banger and their best effort by a mile.

I think one of the reasons I love them so much is when I first started going out properly to bars and more importantly 'indie clubs', a handful of their tunes were played every night guaranteed. 12:51, Reptilia, Juicebox but to a name a few, it was part of that era. They're songs that will stay with me forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still get goosebumps watching this. The atmosphere in that tent was insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I loved is this it, Room on Fire was ok & I stopped bothering after that - so much so that I don't think I've heard Juicebox til it was posted on here. Im shocked they are even under consideration as Pyramid headliners tbh. Other stage, yes... but Pyramid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its forte used to be holding up a mirror to what’s current... but it isn’t anymore and the alternative is the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers so getting The Strokes is a good result in my book. Even Lady Gaga was yesterday’s news a few months ago. Now we’re looking for her to come over during her Vegas residency (think about that; a Vegas residency...) to play.

Not sure current bands have really headlined the Pyramid that often - it's not really what it's for. Coldplay and Momford and Sons maybe? In that they did it after v few albums. Hardly the cutting edge though. Oasis the first time too. Even when I started in the mid-90s it was stuff like Peter Gabriel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'm not comparing the Stokes to the Stones, did you feel that way in 2013? Or is it just that this years are not that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMF Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 There is only one way to solve The Strokes debate, is to have a second referendum, now everyone just needs to phone their mum and ask “do you know who The Strokes are” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
