My theory as to why the Foals backlash has already started on here

crablin [Edit] [Delete] 13:07, 19 December '07

Well, I don't really have one. It just upsets me that a band who are genuinely different to everything else on the radio are being panned by people on here, when they should be cherished for giving the 'masses' something different.

Even if you don't like them for whatever reason, you've got to respect the fact that they've found a good blend of intricate guitars and big hooks to enable them to break through.

I guess this is yet more evidence of the self-destructive alternative music scene in this country. Sigh.
