I think that this song has an "epic" feel to it. It just feels like it's the biggest song of the year. Was it the best? Nope. It was pretty awesome though.
I hope that it sweeps the Grammy's though.

The fact that you could put Feel Good Inc in front of Use Somebody just goes to show your opinion is invalid. The fact that you could dislike "Feel Good Inc." just goes to show you're a terrible person and probably a communist. |

Maybe then he could get banned from Hop Sing's (not sure if I spelled that exactly right)  |

It suggests that they are KGB loving, Cuban cigar smoking, Venezuelan oil guzzling comrades that have no respect for good music!!!! |

I'm with those that didn't like Gorillaz. I only rememeber that song actually, but it was always a quick station changer.

Cody has every right to find those songs terrible and we have every right not to agree with him, lol, but it doesn't make his opinion invalid. Thank you, and that's always been what I go by. i mean I'm not even trashing Kings Of Leon or anything, in fact I find "Notion" to be a terrific song, I just don't get why SOF and US are so special, and the reason for that is my music taste. I just never got into either of them, and I tried REALLY hard to get into SOF especially but it eventually just started annoying me with how I just kept hating the song more and more |

Agreed. If I had a lot of money, I'd start a record label, sign the Kings of Leon to a deal, and then forbid them from making any music. It's the best way to stop this inhumane warbling. How long will alternative have to suffer before somebody blows up their tour bus in an immoral act of desperation?

Ned: [To Elaine] You got me blacklisted from Hop Sing's?! :o >:( >:( >:(
Delivery guy: [menacingly] She named name.
I will GREATLY appreciated!!! :) I'm always saying "You named names!" to people, but everyone just seems to look back at me and think I'm nuts since they have no idea what I'm referring to. It's a damn shame I tell ya.

Kings Of Leon is trying to mute themselves by not promoting. They're ashamed of their success from what I have read. I wouldn't be surprised if they put out their next CD with no available singles.

Okay, I think Kings of Leon are peculiarly overrated, myself, and don't exactly consider myself a fan of theirs, but there's no need for talk like that. And, y'know, how long, then, before a misguided Kings of Leon fan sees this and rushes into your house and slices your guts open? Just sayin'... |

They may be bigger than Radiohead in U.K.

I'll just say this.
Do I like Kings of Leon?
-Yeah, they're ok.
Do I think they're overrated?
-Hell yeah.
Do I think they deserve to have the #1 song over the past two years?
-Hell freaking no.
Anberlin is MUCH MUCH better than Kings of Leon.

Eh, gonna have to disagree with pen on this one. I don't mind Kings of Leon but "The Feel Good Drag" blows both songs out of the water.

The biggest thing that Kings of Leon had though that tips the scales is that they had more crossover appeal than Anberlin so KOL were going to get more spins knowing they could reach a further audience with those songs.
of the three mentioned songs, I would say my favorite is Sex On Fire, but I wouldn't think it was as big in 09 than The Feel Good Drag.
But I can see the "overplay" kickback is really starting with Kings of Leon. They are going to be the only happy ones when their next album isn't as big as this. I really don't have that feeling that they ever wanted to get as big as they've become.

I really don't have that feeling that they ever wanted to get as big as they've become. I understand Caleb's frustration and I'd certainly like to see what the careers of bands like Linkin Park or even Nickelback would have been like, had they said "no" more often and done more "damage control" with their own success levels, sure. However, and maybe I'm taking this one sentence more seriously and literally than Caleb intended it to be, but I think he's a crybaby asshole and deserves to put up with too much fame if he's gonna say that it's "fucking not cool" that a certain demographic of casual music fan enjoys his band's music that they've been exposed to. Well you know what, Caleb? Take it up with RCA Records and tell them to stop promoting your songs to pop radio. Call up all the pop radio stations and tell them to stop playing your fucking music. I'd really like to know how he feels about Nickelback apparently covering "Use Somebody" all summer long on tour. |

I've been following Anberlin longer than Kings Of Leon myself. But how in the world can you say Anberlin is better? What contest did I miss? Ever possible indicator shows Kings Of Leon is a much stronger band. Just wondering where that came from.

Haha no, met them before their label days. Our church and youth groups hosted them at a local elementary school of all places. Their rider stated they wanted Diet Pepsi in cans only, not bottles or anything else. I always found that funny. They're definitely strong, but Kings Of Leon, who I've seen three times since, steals every show.
