Libs probably just wanted to milk it for all it was worth and cash in. 

There was never going to be any longevity to their return.

Pocket the cash and then go and eat a belly buster breakfast. 

They're still around.

Louder than Bombs is the best collection of the Smiths’ songs.

The Queen is Dead is their worst album.

Bigmouth Strikes Again is unlistenable. 

Their best song? The Headmaster Ritual (don’t think this is controversial though).

Pete prefers his cheese toasties these days apparently. 

Fixed that for you

Prefer Nemone to Lauren Laverne (I mean, she just played Atlantic Oceon, Waterfall FFS).

At least if nothing else, it shows he’s off the skag. That has to be a good thing, right?

I like Nemone. She's great but she's no La La. Lauren feels like my friend chatting whereas most other DJ's sound like DJ's if you know what I mean.

100% this. I feel slightly bereft when Lauren isn't in!

Would it be wrong to suggest that The Libertines were just a bit shit?

They really are. I often see them being touted alongside Arctic Monkeys and the Strokes as being the holy trinity of noughties indie. But they're so damn boring compared to the other two. Absolutely no catchy or memorable songs

This is the first actually controversial thing in about 20 pages

I actually think all three of those bands are as shit and dull as each other.

Name one. I've listened to all three albums multiple times and I can't remember a single song. No tunes, no bangers, no jams, no bops.

Woah easy there now, thats a bit extreme. We're not trying to start world war three in here

I'm no big Libs fan, but Don't Look Back Into The Sun and Can't Stand Me Now are certified tunes.

Actually, being completely honest, I probably prefer those two songs to anything Arctics or Strokes have put out. Still all generally a bit shit though.

The Libertines were definitely a “you had to be there at the time” band to fully understand their appeal. They came along just as the indie scene was picking up with the Strokes and Stripes and they were the big British hope. As has been said before, there was a rock and roll mythology about them with the bust ups and drugs and almost poetic demeanour about all things old-Albion...

History hasn’t been the kindest to them, although I still think albums 1 and 3 stand up reasonably well (the second was dog shite even at the time).

Exactly this.

Simply put, she’s the best.

Yes she has a warmth etc when talking to people that few people have. Top tip binge listening to Desert Island Discs on the weeks she's off is a good thing to do. I don't care whether I like the person or not and how good or bad their taste in music is they are always interesting

Glad to have more people on Team LaLa.

Like them both, but Lauren's quality.

Oh fully Team La La over here.

As you mentioned she has that quality of making you feel you’re listening to a mate talking rather than a DJ.

She seems to hit the right tone every day based on current affairs.

Most importantly her music selection is top notch.

I actually think Annie Mac has similar qualities, although I imagine she’s not to everybody’s taste in here.

I can't my finger on what it is, but I do turn off when LL is on but keep with it when Nemone is on. I think I may well be in the wrong on this one though!

The best Britpop song is Great Things by Echobelly.

Are you sure you don't want to compromise on that one?
